Cargo 300

The World Anti -Doping Agency informed international federations about 300 Russian athletes whose positive results could be hidden from April 2012 to September 2015. This is reported by the portal Insidethegames.

Information about the concealment of samples was obtained from the database of the Moscow Anti -Doping Laboratory, which was previously led by Grigory Rodchenkov. "International federations together with WADA will conduct an investigation. We will advise and help the federations in the study of cases. Although the data from the base of the Moscow Anti -Doping Laboratory may not be enough to prove the fact of violation of anti -doping rules, however, they can be used together with other evidence, which will expose the violation," said Gunter Director of Gunter Younger

Athletes whose samples could be replaced by "clean". They represent 25 different federations, both in summer and winter sports, said Younger. Some of them can take part in the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. The names of athletes included in the WADA list are not reported.

On December 6, the IOC refused to allow the Russian team to participate in the Olympics due to doping violations at the 2014 winter games in Sochi. Russian athletes are allowed to perform at the games in personal quality - under the neutral Olympic flag . The team is given the name "Olympic athletes from Russia", and when awarding Russians will sound the Olympic anthem.

At the same time, only those Russians who were not previously disqualified for doping or are convicted of violation of anti -doping rules will be able to take part in the games. Another condition for the admission is the passage of tests appointed by the special IOC commission.

The Olympic Committee of Russia is suspended from participation in games. The membership of the President of the OKR Zhukov in the IOC is suspended. None of the functionaries of the Ministry of Sports of Russia will be accredited to the upcoming Olympics, and for Zhukov, as well as the former head of the Ministry of Sports, the current deputy prime minister Vitaly Mutko and the former deputy head of the Ministry of Sports of Yuri Nagorny, a lifelong ban on accreditation was introduced.

On the same day, President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian authorities will not interfere with athletes who would want to perform in Pyeongchang under a neutral flag.

On Tuesday, the Olympic meeting supported the statement of Russian athletes ready to perform at the 2018 Olympic Games in neutral status . The decision was made unanimously. As stated in the document, the Olympic Assembly "calls for respect for each choice and support the athletes who will go to the games, those who refuse, and those who will not invite." It was emphasized that the meeting only developed the OKR position regarding the performance of Russian athletes in games in a neutral status. The decision regarding participation in the Olympiad will be made personally on the basis of an invitation that should come from the International Olympic Committee.
