The International Paralympic Committee extended sanctions against Russia

The International Paralympic Committee (MPC) upheld the removal of the Paralympic Committee of Russia (PCR). According to the press service of the IPC , the issue of the status of the PCR was considered at a meeting of the executive committee, which took place from September 10 to 11 in Madrid.

The MPC expressed disappointment with the fact that the PCR has done nothing for its restoration over the past six months .

Three criteria for this are the recognition of the theses of the WADA independent commission, headed by Richard McLaren on the existence of the State Doping System in the period from 2011 to 2015, the rehabilitation of the Russian anti -doping committee (Russia) and the payment of a fine of 257 thousand euros as a reimbursement of expenses for the investigation in relation to Russian athletes.

The issue of Rusad’s restoration also rests on the recognition of the conclusions of the McLaren report, as well as the provision of access to the samples that are stored in the sealed Moscow anti -doping laboratory.

President of the Ministry of PSSR Andrew Parsons called on the Minister of Sports of Russia Pavel Kolobkov and the head of WADA Craig Reidi quickly solve the issue of restoring the Russad. Then, in this words, it remains only to pay a fine.

The Paralympic Committee of Russia was disqualified in 2016. Domestic athletes with disabilities in full force missed the 2016 summer games, and two years later at the Winter Paralympics, they performed under a neutral flag. Rusada was recognized as the inappropriate WADA Code in November 2015.
