Deliver from presence

The anti-doping agencies of 17 countries asked for the International Olympic Committee to remove Russia from 2018 games in South Korea. It is reported by The Guardian.

“We have serious doubts that 2018 games will be“ pure ”due to the incomplete investigation of mass evidence of doping by Russian athletes at the Sochi Olympic Games in 2014, as well as taking into account inadequate results of testing Russian athletes over the past four years. Leaders and organizations in the field of sports should not be allowed to be admitted to the Olympic Games He deliberately violates the rules and steals victory at the “pure” athletes, ”the letter sent to the IOC says.

Representatives of anti -doping organizations also called on Russia to take on public responsibility for calling "its fraudulent actions." The document also notes that Russia must take a number of steps to prove that it is seriously reformed by the reform of the doping control system.

On December 9, 2016, Canadian lawyer McLaren presented the second part of the report prepared for WADA. The investigation showed that over 1,000 Russian athletes in almost 30 types of Olympic and Paralympic sports were involved in the doping program of Russia.

On February 25, WADA stated that the insufficient number of evidence in the report of the McLaren commission is explained by the destruction of many doping industry of Russian athletes . “Unfortunately, many samples were disposed of by the Moscow Anti -Doping Laboratory, which means that they cannot be double -checked,” the statement said. “McLaren made additional requests to the Russian authorities, but they remained unanswered. There are simply no evidence from the McLaren report. The anti -doping community should clearly realize that it can not be obtained and that it cannot be obtained based on, based report ".

On June 22, President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach said that Russia would not escape sanctions for its doping program. The head of the IOC agreed that after the broken scandal, the Russian authorities, trying to avoid large -scale sanctions, are doing a lot of work in order to prevent the use of doping athletes in the future. However, despite this, Russia cannot be completely avoided, Bach assured.

“By our impression, some in Russia expects that if he is engaged in the prevention of future problems, they will forget the past,” Bach remarked. “We must not forget what happened in Sochi. We made it clear: for what happened there should follow the punishment.” How serious the sanctions will be, the head of the IOC did not specify. With this issue, he explained, two MOK commissions are engaged, and the work has not yet been completed. However, Bach assured, the decision will be made in the latest in October.
