Forniative Russia

The Olympic Committee of Russia lost the case in a sports arbitration court in Lausanne, to communicate on the CAS website. The verdict of the court will not allow Russian athletes, with the exception of jumping in the length of Daria Klisina, to perform at the games in Rio de Janeiro.

CAS Secretary General Mathieu Rib said that the OCR could not declare athletes at the 2016 Olympics. "An appeal is possible through the Swiss Federal Court in Lausanne within 30 days," Rib said.

The Kremlin expressed regret in connection with the decision of CAS. “Of course, I can unequivocally express regret in connection with such a decision of the sports arbitration court, which concerns absolutely all of our athletes, our athletes, because the topic of collective responsibility from our point of view can hardly be acceptable,” said the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. “The news is not very good, we still have to analyze the situation with the following decisions. Therefore, now from the further decision. Comments would have been abstract so far. "

On Thursday, national anti-doping committees of 14 countries sent a collective letter to President of the IOC Tomas Bachu demanding to disqualify the Russian Olympic Committee and remove the Russian team from participation in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, The Guardian reports .

Representatives of the anti -doping agencies of Austria, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Egypt, Norway, Finland, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Switzerland, Holland and the USA demanded to disqualify the OKR and prohibit it to participate in the Olympics. At the same time, the ban on participating in games will automatically spread to all athletes included in the Russian team approved by the OKR.

Nevertheless, it is noted in the letter, Russian athletes will be able to take part in competitions under a neutral flag. For this, the operational group as part of representatives of the IOC and the World Anti -Doping Agency should make sure that the applicants are “pure”. Thus, the balance between the IOC’s “Collective responsibility and the right to individual justice mentioned in the statement of the IOC will be observed,” the document says.

Anti -doping agencies also criticize the plan proposed by some members of the IOC Executive Council, according to which international federations from each sport separately should decide whether to participate in the games of Russian athletes. To do this, "just not enough time" is noted in the letter.

On Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee said that he intends to decide on the admission of Russian athletes to the Olympics this weekend.

The IOC recommended that all international sports federations not transfer Russia the rights to organize competitions in winter sports until the issue of investigating the functioning of a doping system in the country is closed.

"Due to the detailed references to the manipulations with samples at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, the IOC asks for international federations of winter sports to suspend the preparation of major events in Russia, in particular the world championships, world championships and other major international competitions," the IOC statement said.

The IOC also said that they would not provide accreditation at the 2016 Olympics to any official of the Russian Ministry of Sports, as well as the WADA report. Thus, the restrictions of the IOC will affect the Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko.
