Stop to the ass!

Former Director of the Anti-Doping Center Grigory Rodchenkov could destroy doping tests by order of any of the leadership of the World Anti-Doping Agency. This was stated by the head of the press service of the TFR Vladimir Markin.

"Rodchenkov, being the head of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise" Anti-Doping Center ", was administratively obeyed only by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Therefore, the investigation has reason to believe that he could receive a team about the destruction of doping industry precisely from someone from the leadership of the World Anti-Doping Agency. And this version will be considered in the confirmation of this version that we still have not been indicated by the fact that we still have not been said Specific evidence of the use of doping by Russian athletes is presented, ”said the official representative of the Investigative Committee.

"To investigate all these circumstances, the investigation must interrogate the President of WADA Craig Ridie, as well as an independent expert Richard McLaren, who prepared a report for this organization. In this connection, relevant legal assistance requests to the competent authorities of foreign states will be sent," Markin said.

The day before, Markin said that the investigation intends to collect good evidence regarding the goals that Rodchenkov pursued in the destruction of the doping industry of Russian athletes. "We must collect irrefutable evidence. So far, unlike the Americans, we do not blame anyone," said the representative of the TFR.

Rodchenkov resigned in November 2015 at the very beginning of a doping scandal. In the future, he left Russia and settled in the United States.

On May 12, 2016, The New York Times published an interview with a former official in which he accused dozens of Russian athletes of using doping , including 15 gold medalists. According to him, this was part of a carefully developed and over the years of the state program. Rodchenkov admitted that he developed three mixtures from the forbidden drugs that he mixed with alcohol and gave athletes.

Russian anti-doping experts and special services, continued the cursory official, replaced the doping tests of the athletes of the Russian team with “pure” samples, taken a few months before the Olympic competitions. By the end of the games, about 100 urine samples were replaced in this way.

After that, the TFR opened a case against Rodchenkov under part 1 of article 201 (abuse of authority). At the end of June, the department sent the US authorities a request to interrogate the former official .

On July 4, Markin said that Rodchenkov himself traded doping . Allegedly, such testimony witnesses. Rodchenkov acquired forbidden drugs in the United States, and then sold to the athletes, promising that he would hide the presence of doping in their samples, the TFR said. As noted, "the investigation has reason to believe that Rodchenkov was not just an executor, but the author and organizer of a number of such schemes."

The destruction of Rodchenkov doping industry of Russian athletes of the TFR explains precisely the desire to hide the fact of their trade for prohibited drugs.
