How to play with anti-doping scam?
Last week, WADA (World Anti-Doping Association) stopped the investigation of 95 Russian athletes, whose names were listed in the report of Richard McLaren, which caused a great resonance. The official release of WADA reports that the evidence presented during the investigation is not enough to recognize Russian athletes (from the lists) as guilty of doping. That is, the situation has been reduced to an incident: Canadian lawyer McLaren struggled, eventually gave birth to a report, and in the end all his attempts were declared insignificant.
In such a situation, it is time for Mr. Lawyer McLaren to send not only an undeserved legal holiday, but also to send him at the same time 95 lawsuits to him at the same time. A similar (minimum) number of lawsuits should appear before the eyes of each of the top WADA officials, as they, first, dealt an unsubstantiated blow to the reputation of dozens of Russian athletes, secondly, they stole time from them and, admittedly, numerous contracts and fees.
Realizing that Richard McLaren’s brainchild is making a hefty pierce, as well as realizing that other lawyers may well force WADA to fork out for slander and moral damage, the World Anti-Doping Association has to continue writing. It is important to recall that the very activity of WADA in relation to Russian athletes is carried out with the utmost rejection of such an important legal concept as the presumption of innocence. At first they were removed, then they began an investigation, as a result of which the 95 guilt of the athletes was never proven. Right at the level of the Middle Ages ...
So how did the WADA decide to get out? For a start, it was announced that in fact the task of McLaren (it turns out that he was also faced with a “task”) was not identifying the use of doping by certain Russian athletes. They say that our lawyer dealt exclusively with “exposing the Russian doping system”. Well, let's say ... And in what specific did your lawyer succeed - in demonstrating scratched test tubes from under doping tests of athletes? What exactly?
Further, WADA officials said that the investigation, it turns out, could continue. And it stalled, you see, only because Grigory Rodchenkov did not appear to testify. And who is Grigory Rodchenkov? - That's right, this is the subject that caused the scandal. The same subject who, according to sportsmen’s testimony, brought them some drugs from North America, sold them for a lot of money, swore that the drugs were effective and were not prohibited, and then he fled to North America where he announced “ systematic use of doping by athletes in Russia ". At the same time, the notorious for some time meldonium decided to bring the concept of doping.
So here. Rodchenkov, as the actual key witness, refuses to testify at the moment. The key witness refuses to testify! .. Already interesting.
One of Russia's liberal mouthpieces, Novaya Gazeta, is connecting to the informational support of the obfuscated WADA and specifically Mr. McLaren. In the material of the reviewer Vladimir Mozgovogo, it is stated that “the Russians were euphoric about the termination of the investigation into 95 Russian athletes, however, as it adds further,“ they have fallen in vain ”.
FROM material "New":
To conclude from this that now Russia will be left behind, at least short-sightedly, more than once the Russian side has taken what was desired.
But in reality, WADA, through the mouth of its representative Maggie Durant against the background of the euphoria that swept over Russia, said it was waiting for “the Russian authorities to take responsibility for the deliberate deception system revealed by the investigation of Richard McLaren, as it is written in the road map of the Russian anti-doping accreditation recovery agencies. " (...) There are no any apologies from WADA, no matter how he faces lawsuits and courts.
In other words, the principle of medieval law with the “burning of people in the central square” after shouts of “The Witch !!!”, which became “evidence”, is practiced in WADA and is supported by certain media in Russia itself. But the fact that WADA gave "indulgences" for doping to American athletes on the grounds that the Americans provided information about the "disease", the support system is not considered. And no one in WADA for some reason stubbornly takes responsibility for writing permits for Western athletes to use the frank “prohibition”. WADA does not take responsibility, but Russia will certainly take responsibility ... Oh, you, logic ...
However, this is not all. Last week, the latest “locum tenens” appeared, announcing that Russia's place at the 2018 Olympiad in South Korea should be canceled. 17 anti-doping organizations sent appeals to the International Olympic Committee calling for the Russian national team to be removed from the Games, which will be held in February in Pyeongchang. The arguments are enchanting ... They say that the investigation, they say, was not carried out completely, and therefore the presence of Russian athletes could jeopardize the “cleanliness” of the entire Winter Olympics.
No, we here in Russia, of course, understand that the “partners” in Crimea stepped on the tail with all their might, but did these very western “partners” not overdo it in their desire to lick the American financial and political elites together with their interests? Himself not disgusting? Not?..
Considering that the representatives of anti-doping associations of the United States, Britain and Canada were the first to sign their appeal, it can be stated that this is not exactly unpleasant - they lick themselves and are immensely happy about how medieval law moves to a comprehensive coverage of sports and near-sports reality. And shaking a tube with a powder, now with scratches on glass becomes the main evidentiary standard from the mentioned medieval practice - “Witch !!!”
A separate question: how effective can lawsuits be, given that we are dealing with sharks who do not even try to hide it? Or, maybe, as in that joke: "And here I have got a card as flooded! .."
