RT: Russia's top spy makes sensational claim about US plans for Beijing Olympics 

A senior intelligence official has claimed plans are afoot to discredit the upcoming games 

Authorities in Washington, along with several other Western powers, are working to derail and interfere with the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, the head of Russia’s overseas intelligence-gathering agency has claimed. 

Sergey Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, told journalists on Tuesday that his agency had uncovered a plot by the US State Department to coordinate a multilateral effort to tarnish the games, which will take place in February. “I must say that we have rather extensive information about a large-scale campaign by the US and its most odious, obedient allies to aggressively and maliciously interfere in the preparation process for the Beijing Olympics,” Naryshkin alleged. 

“We are seeing their attempts to discredit the Olympic organizers in Beijing. The US State Department is playing the largest role here, coordinating all the anti-Chinese activities of NGOs and media.”
