"俄國將主辦2014年冬奧，儘管對其「反同志」法律有疑慮"

奧委會已經決議俄國的反同性戀法律就歧視而言不違反奧運憲章，並隨後表示俄國已準備好要主辦2014年的冬奧。

國際奧委會的主席金恩克勞德基利表示：「國際奧委會沒有權利討論主辦國國內實行的法律，所以除非違反了憲章，我們都不會有意見。」

俄現行法律使「向未成年人宣傳非傳統性關係」為非法。副首相Dmitry Koza負責監督索契奧運的準備，他表示：「根據此法，如果傳統性傾向的人散播非傳統性行為的錯誤訊息給孩童，他們也將為此負責。」並認為此法不是為了直接針對同性戀。

俄國政府為了冬奧正在進行中的建設總計已經花了510億美元，使其成為史上最昂貴的奧運。已經花了70億美元在場地上，而剩下的金額已經用來發展索契市和黑海沿岸一帶的地區。

(Politics) Russia To Host 2014 Winter Games Despite Concerns Over Anti-Gay Law

The Olympic Committee has determined that Russias anti-gay laws dont violate the Olympics charter in terms of discrimination and subsequently pronounced Russia ready to host the 2014 Winter Games.

Chairman of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Jean-Claude Killy stated, the IOC doesnt have the right to discuss the laws that are in place in the country hosting the games, so unless the charter is violated we are fully satisfied.

The current law outlaws propaganda on nontraditional sexual relations among minors. Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister in charge of overseeing the preparations of the Sochi Olympics, stated, Regarding this law, if people of traditional sexual orientation spread propaganda of non-traditional sex to children, then they will also be held accountable, and considers the law to not be targeted directly at gays.

The Russian government has spent a total of US$51 billion in ongoing construction for the games, making it the most expensive Olympics in history. US$7 billion has been spent on the venues themselves, and the remaining sum has been put towards developing the city of Sochi and region along the Black Sea.
