Scandal in Moscow: Russia wonder both her and himself

WHEN the Russian authorities now refuse kontrollørene from the World's antidopingbyrå (WADA) full access to the samples in the dopinglaboratoriet in Moscow, it is hardly to believe. For how is it possible to mess up their own case on a so hjelpesløs way?

the starting point for this control was a political knefall in the WADA management. Late in september the board resolved where the with 9 with 2 votes to give in to Russian authorities in an attempt to get Russia back in the international sports.

A shame for the Norwegian sports: He jilted her

There to still play together, should be more important than the russians in connection with its own OLYMPIC games had used the toy to the state scam. In the best purpose specific therefore WADA management to drop the requirement that the Russian authorities should take the responsibility to have drugged most of the sportsheltene their for the winter games In Sochi February 2014. They repealed the exclusion of Russia, and asked only whether an evaluation of the material that is still in the dopinglaboratoriet in Moscow.

And then respond to the russians authorities to deny control of these samples, instead of using the gratissjansen that WADA gave them to get out of the cheated without losing prestige.

Is it possible to admit their own guilt in a more convincing way?

FOR now wonder only the russians themselves and their own sportshelter. For example, leds are as Klisjina - lengdehopperen that ever since she was the only Russian friidrettsutøveren who got to compete in the summer OLYMPICS in 2016, has been the symbol of the banned Russian sport.

The leds are as and the other national sportsheltene now risk, is that smutthullet for Russian enkeltutøvere also become clogged again:

only when they threatened to evict her, realized Russia the seriousness that is all That is reminiscent of Russian sport will be deleted from the international competitions in anticipation of a credible settlement with the ukulturen in Russia.

It is in that case a sensational development only a few months after the governing verdensidretten seemed to accept it mostly to get Russia again. But it is only selvforskyld.

IT don't realize at least the new management of the Russian antidopingmyndighetene. The last time, it has been reported gratifying great progress in this work. When the international association of athletics federations (IAAF) recently decided to extend the exclusion of the Russian federation in its sport, was the decision taken in spite of this the increasingly better cooperation. Participation emphasis on the new Russian willingness and effectively for a trustworthy own control, but subject nevertheless reserves to the first to be finished with the suspicious samples in the Moscow lab.

When the Russian authorities now to stop this possibility, frames, it's the country's own antidopingmyndighet the hardest.

THEREFORE is Yuriy Ganus; the commander of the Russian antidopingbyrået (RUSADA) in despair over the sudden negative development. He relies on WADA-kontrollørene get into the lab before the deadline 31.December to get the extracted information from the so-called "Laboratory Information Management System" (LIMS). Probably have WADA is already a copy of parts of this material from a Russian defector, but further cases against possible Russian dopere from Sochi requires the original documentation :

- We have to get transferred all the data to WADA within midnight of the day, " said Ganus to Tass yesterday, and assured that the laboratory is fully staffed right up to the new year in anticipation of that the Russian political authorities also realize the seriousness:

- We hope to be allowed in the last minute. The consequences of not fulfilling this requirement from WADA, become destructive for Russian sport, he added.

THE Russian sportsministeren Pavel Kolobkov was not quite so dramatic in his assessment of the interrupted inspection:

- WADA-delegation were satisfied, he believed, and pointed out that there were some technical difficulties that made it necessary with a new inspection. According to the Russian authorities lacked the international kontrollørene approval for the data tool they brought with them to Moscow.

But so easy going it probably won't this time. For this failed attempt can be more than the WADA management can even withstand. Now they can be pressure from western governments to ban Russia again, so WADA president Craig Reedie has promised the russians not meet the deadline 31.December.

IN the MEANTIME has the us political pressure had a completely different legal weight. This week it passed the senate the so-called Rodtsjenkov-law ; named after the former Russian avhopperen Grigory Rodtsjenkov - the man behind the Russian dopingsvindelen, who fled to the united STATES after the cheating was first revealed in the German TV-channel ARD.

They are bløffet again. The russians have already switched out the samples

The new law both criminalize doping in the united STATES and gives the u.s. government the duty to go after dopingbrudd both nationally and internationally. Enacted are set for the entire ten years by organized dopingsvindel with a erstatningssum up to around nine million.

The strict penalties notwithstanding, is the most the international rettsforfølgingen that pushing a harder line. The american rettsmyndighetene have already been central in opprenskningen in international football. Now it is given a legal basis to go after the athletes, coaches, managers or sportsforbund as scams american athletes for cash prizes or medals. The framework is also extended to include both the sponsors and the TELEVISION company are to promote or disseminate dopingdrevet sports .

Over time, it can provide greater challenges for dopingsvindlerne and their many aides than even the game about all the doping tests that await in Moscow.
