The Russian anti-doping agency is unlikely to comply with the international sports rules for the 2016 beginning of the Worldliolimpian Games in Rio de Janeiro. This was stated by the head of WADA Craig Reidi, reports Reuters.
"As for the Russada, I think it is unlikely that this organization will comply with the WADA Code to the Games 2016," Ridie said.
The report on the implementation of anti-doping rules will be sent to the International Olympic Committee, which will then decide whether Russian athletes in Brazil Games can take part on August 5-21, Ridie noted.
The report is also sent to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). She must decide to restore the membership of the All -Russian Athletics Federation in the association.
Meanwhile, the WADA representative said the agency considers statements about doping violations from the article The New York Times. "The agency intends to consider these charges. At the moment, we determine the actions on this issue. We will announce more specific information next week," WADA said.
On Thursday, The New York Times published a material in which Rodchenkov accused dozens of Russian athletes of using doping, including 15 gold medalists. According to him, this was part of a state program carefully planned over the years. The goal was to ensure dominance at the games of Russian athletes. The ex-director of the laboratory admitted that he developed three mixtures from the forbidden drugs that he mixed with alcohol and gave athletes. Doping was used by some leaders of the Russian Olympic team. Among them are 14 liners and two members of the bobslei team, which eventually won gold medals.
Russian anti-doping experts and special services replaced the doping tests of the Russian national team at “clean” samples taken a few months before the Olympic competitions, Rodchenkov said. By the end of the games, about 100 urine samples were replaced.
On April 15, WADA annulled the accreditation of the Moscow Anti-Doping Center due to non-compliance with the international standard for laboratories (ISL) and related technical documents. The decision entered into force immediately. This means that the center will not be able to conduct doping test tests on behalf of WADA or any other testing body.
In November, due to doping violations, the IAAF Counciltemporarily removed Russia from competitions under its auspices for an indefinite period. This makes the participation of the Russian national athletics team in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In addition, Russia will not accept the team championship of the world in sports walking in Cheboksary and the Youth World Cup on walking in Kazan. These competitions are scheduled for 2016. IAAF will inform about the place of their holding.
