Quick context: Russia is banned from these Olympics. The organization Dvorkovich leads is currently being sued for letting Russia back into chess. His entire defense is that he's neutral.
That's it. That's the story. The president of an international sports federation who keeps saying "I'm not Russia's guy" went to the Olympics and immediately gravitated to the USSR section like it was a homing signal.
There's no scandal here. There doesn't need to be. It's just a man who can't help himself.
