MOSCOW, August 3 – R-Sport. Occurrence the new film of the German TV channel ARD on doping in athletics caused by someone’s desire to obtain a review of the results of the competition, which will lead to a redistribution of medals, said the president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), Lamine Diack.

The new film ARD doping in athletics released on Saturday. It argues that the channel and the publication Sunday Times received the database of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which contains more than 12 thousand tests about 5000 athletes from 2001 to 2012. The film also states that every third medal of the Olympic Games or the World Championships in the women’s long distance (800 meters) over a 10-year period has been won by athletes with suspicious data doping tests.

“Behind all this lies the desire to achieve a redistribution of medals, and that we should fear – Diack quoted Agence France-Presse. – We’re working on it and soon to answer any questions. The experts concluded that hundreds of medals in the period from 2001 to 2012 were issued in error, but we do not comment on this. I believe that the IAAF has always shown he will not allow to call into question the results of the athletes “.

In December 2014 ARD aired first documentary a film in which the author spoke about the systematic doping by Russian athletes. Later it was shown the second part of the film. IAAF announced that the ethics committee will check all the facts about doping in the Russian athletics shown in the film ARD, and WADA has created a commission to investigate these facts.

At the time held the post of President of the Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF ) Valentin Balakhnichev called the film “a provocation aimed at undermining Russian sports,” and said that ARD has officially refused to provide the unedited video and audio. In February Balahnichev resigned as president VFLA.
