Belarusian footballer Yevgeny Yelezarenko was surprised by his name in a letter in support of President Alexander Lukashenko. His words are quoted by Tribuna.com.

“I just went nuts when I saw my name among the people who signed the athletes' letter for stability. I didn't sign anything! Didn't even see any papers! It seems that we have a free country, but this happens here, “said Yelezarenko. He added that now he has to make excuses to Belarusians for what he did not do. The midfielder clarified that he did not know about the existence of the letter and would never have signed it.
