A brief summary of what you can find in the article:

– some Latvian sports federations have higher standard in the field of racism prevention

• specifically, in relation to the expected responsible actions also of the members to the federation;
• can you guess which sports those might be?

– 2023 has recorded possibly the most complaints concerning racial attacks against individuals (in the Latvian sports, to be exact); what do the responsible institutions think about those complaints?

There have been 2 formal investigation in football and one in ice hockey.
