Russia will be removed from the Olympiad-2020 December ninth

Recent events related to Russian sports force international officials to go to extreme measures and remove our team from participating in the 2020 summer Olympics. In the best case, domestic athletes will be presented in Tokyo in a neutral status.

The British publication Inside The Games has been actively monitoring the development of the situation with doping in Russia over the past years and claims that such a scenario cannot be avoided.

This week, the Committee on compliance with the World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) recommended depriving the Russian anti -doping agency (Russia) status of conformity, and the World Athletics Council suspended the restoration of the All -Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA).

On December 9, the WADA Executive Committee will consider at the meeting the issue of Rusad status. The fact that he will lose it, even the general director of Rusad, Yuri Ganus, does not doubt it . This will entail catastrophic consequences for Russian sports, since the new international compliance standard suggests that the athletes of the country, whose national anti -doping agency does not comply with the Code, cannot be allowed to participate in international competitions.

Russia may also prohibit large sports tournaments. Thus, future summer the Russian team risks missing the two main starts of the year: the Olympics and the European Football Championship. Earlier, Dailymail has already warned that Russia could be deprived of the status of one of the owners of Euro 2020.

It should be noted that in December 2017, the Inside The Games portal was the first to announce the removal of the Russian national team from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
