Moscow, 13 Dec - Russia's Olympic Committee voted on Friday
to appoint a sports minister sanctioned by the West as its new chief, as
Moscow faces isolation from international sport over its Ukraine offensive.
Mikhail Degtyaryov, a member of the right-wing Liberal Democratic Party of
Russia, was elected to the post unopposed after previous president Stanislav
Pozdnyakov unexpectedly resigned in October, the committee said.
