From the Russian Olympic Committee and IOC expected joint statement on doping scandal – First Channel

After World Agency WADA accusations against our country, Russia has confirmed its readiness to cooperate with the international organizations to restore order, but it should not hurt innocent athletes.

At the headquarters of the Russian Athletics Federation Luzhniki reigns suspense. Literally a minute from Monaco will be answered by the International Athletics Association: appoint a penalty on the basis of doping scandal? On the eve of the Russian side in Monaco sent an official response to the presentation of the claim. Including suggestions on how to correct errors. Our country is doing its utmost to penalties for doping individual athletes did not extend to the entire Federation. After all, if all our athletes – and the guilty and innocent – could lose 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Athletes hope that Monaco will, in general, the obvious argument that punishing indiscriminately – a measure, to put it mildly, inadequate.

“under the action of athletes is just the saddest thing, because this is a problem in 2009, 2010, 2011 years – those athletes already punished now a new generation of athletes, they should not suffer because of the mistakes of the past years” – says the Olympic champion in long jump Tatyana Lebedeva.

“A competitor can not be responsible for the other athlete unless, excuse the expression, I do not pours him a banned substance in tea or somewhere else. Especially in this can not be involved the whole country. This is pure nonsense. This practice – worldwide, is a global evil – doping “- says a professional boxer Nikolai Valuev.

Moscow is ready for the widest possible cooperation and international Anti-Doping Agency WADA and the International Olympic Committee, says Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko. He hopes that reason will prevail, and the International Association did not deprive athletes of the Russian Olympic Games in Rio.

“What shall we say federation we do. But to remove from the map of the world Russian athletics we do not want, and this decision will not accept. We can skip one or two competitions, but to pass conscientious athletes to the Olympic Games or Championships the world would be sheer folly, “- said Mutko.

In theory, in case of disagreement, Russia has the right to appeal, but athletes and sports officials still hope that the decision in Monaco, will be impartial. Russia, in turn, promises to create a transparent anti-doping organization. Either through the reform of the existing – the agency RUSADA or – generally form a new department. Mutko, however, noted that the organization was created and acting in accordance with international requirements.

“The laboratory was built on the patterns of WADA. What is recommended, we bought. We are ready all the doping control procedures to open. I do not want you to overload, but manipulation there is almost impossible. The sample enters the laboratory, it is non-personalized. Once comes immediately entered into the system, “Adams.” And after analysis, if the sample is negative, the red light and see it all: WADA, the International Federation. It is impossible to smanipulirovat “- said Mutko.

So, evil – international standards – international and extreme somehow one country. And this is not an attempt to defend himself, to such strangeness already drawn attention to foreign journalists. The British newspaper “The Guardian” – not pro-Russian – publishes an article by Simon Jenkins, entitled bluntly: “Not only Russia. Britain has contributed to the creation of system of corruption in the sport.”

“Olympic sports, cycling, skating, baseball, football and athletics for years subject to doping and financial scandals. The main problem comes from international bodies, which theoretically should carry out supervision and control of these activities. In actually, they also profit from the grand festival of chauvinism in that transformed the world’s sporting events. Thus there is a conflict of interest, “- says the article.

Simply put, those who must watch over the purity of the sport, is financially interested in sports events and achievements. Sports – reminds Jenkins – a lot of money, very big question of prestige and a very great temptation. Who is without sin? Recently doping scandal erupted around the famous coach Alberto Salazar, the man who prepared the British legend of athletics – runner Mo Farah. Journalists and remembered the story of Emma Jackson, the British team that doctors were forced to take drugs, which act to ban the British Anti-Doping Agency.

“Sports are not only politicized and nationalized athlete funding, so they won. Woe losers! Prime Minister David Cameron has punished the British swimmers financially for the poor performance in 2012 – a gesture smacks brute dictatorship. It is not surprising that athletes under pressure, leading to fraud, and this pressure is comprehensive. It concerns not only Russia but also other “is not called” states “, – says the article.

” It is not called ” – a remark to the Commission WADA devoted his controversial report only Russian athletes; Examples from other countries promised to bring later.

And this despite the fact that according to the Ministry of Sports, cases of concealment of doping tests at the International Athletics Association – more than a hundred. Russians relate only 15, that is, less than one-tenth. And by the way, all the 15 perpetrators have received recovery at home.
