The Americans are surprised

The head of the US National Olympic Committee Scott Blackman called on the IOC as quickly as possible to take measures against Russian sports in connection with the use of doping. It is reported by ABC News.

According to Blekman, only four months remain before the Olympics in South Korea, and the International Olympic Committee is obliged to respond to charges against Russian athletes and officials. "The fact that no action was made regarding the report of the independent commission of the World Anti -Doping Agency led by Richard McLaren, which describes the Russian doping system that spoiled the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi," said the head of the US NOC.

American athletes are shocked by the fact that the results of the Olympics in Sochi are still not revised, not one of the medals of that Olympiad passed to another owner and not a single athlete is disqualified, Blekman emphasized.

On Monday, the IOC press service said that all 254 samples taken from Russian athletes during the 2014 Winter Olympiad in Sochi were re-studied. 70 percent of doping tests taken from medalists and all Russian athletes during the 2010 Olympic Games were also analyzed. However, the results of repeated analyzes in the IOC were not reported.

On September 14, the endoping agencies of 17 countries turned to WADA with an appeal to remove Russia from the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. A few days later, the number of states, whose agencies made such statements, increased to 28. However, the head of WADA Craig Reidy called these calls "useless."

On September 24, the head of the US Anti -Doping Agency (USADA) Travis Taigart criticized WADA foran insufficiently tough position in relation to Russian athletes. "WADA should recommend that Russia is forbidden to participate in the Winter Olympic Games, and Russian athletes allowed to speak under a neutral flag if they prove that they are clean," the functionary said. Another position, according to Thagiga, will demonstrate, "that on the way to the top you can flashes and even if you are caught red -handed, everything will be okay if you have political power."

The USADA head also expressed bewilderment due to the fact that neither the WADA nor the International Olympic Committee is practically in contact with the former director of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, who betrayed the facts of centralized falsification of the doping industry of Russian athletes during the 2014 Olympics. So, WADA was not associated with him before the use of doping from 95 Russian athletes from the list compiled by the head of the independent commission WADA Richard McLaren.
