A U.S. lawmaker has urged the country to boycott 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Russia, if Moscow decides to grant asylum to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

According to the Fox News, Senator Lindsey Graham said that the Russians' recent actions involving Snowden were outrageous.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin had put this condition that Snowden must stop leaking secret data about US intelligence, if he wants to claim asylum in Russia.

However, Graham's initiative wasn't supported by Republicans, the report added.
