Russian Olympians clamped down, and in the Kremlin "deeply" regret

218
The International Olympic Committee does not allow famous Russian athletes to the Winter Olympics. We are talking about those who are not involved in doping scandals. While Moscow "deeply regrets", the West continues to bend the anti-Russian line. If Moscow went to a boycott of games, the West would have been fools: there would be nobody to let go!

Russian Olympians clamped down, and in the Kremlin "deeply" regret




“The shock for Russia” (“Schock für Russland”) was the current decision of the IOC: no famous Russian athletes who are not involved in doping scandals are expected at the Winter Olympics. Moscow is shocked. "Shock" hit the pages of the world press - this is written in the major Western media.

How popular German daily edition tells «Handelsblatt», a large list of Russian athletes (five hundred people), whom the Independent Organization for Anti-Doping Testing (ITA) included in the list of invitees from the very beginning, has already lost weight on 111 names. The publication believes that the exclusion of the leading athletes from the list means a "heavy blow" for Russia.

The so-called list of “preliminary invitations” of the International Olympic Committee lacks three bright stars of Russian and world sports, which have never been banned from participating in games due to doping scandals, the German edition writes.

Russian winter sports stars - biathlete Anton Shipulin, short trekist Viktor An and skier Sergey Ustyugov - did not make it into the list of those invited to Pyeongchang for starting games. Russia protested and demanded explanations, which the IOC in a specific form has so far refused to give.

The reason for the exclusion of names from the list was the December decision, according to which the Olympic Committee of Russia was “blocked” because of the doping scandal at the Olympic Games in Sochi: the doping was allegedly organized by the state. And only "crystal clear" Russian athletes can participate in competitions in South Korea - under a neutral flag and without a national anthem.

Now the Independent Anti-Doping Testing Organization continues to “work” on a list of previously invited Russian athletes. And already 111 athletes are excluded from the list. Initially, the list included 500 athletes.

In the Russian sport and in the power of this news caused a real stir. “We deeply regret in this regard, if such decisions are really made,” the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the explosive situation. The question should be clarified from the IOC, he said.

Also, Handelsblatt reports that Stanislav Pozdnyakov, Vice-President of the Russian Olympic Committee, rejected the idea of ​​a boycott of the current games. “This will not be a boycott,” he told Interfax.

At the same time, the exclusion of sports stars from the list is “a heavy blow for Russia,” further writes. And leads the arguments.

Shipulin, winner of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi (2014), captain of Russian biathletes, is known precisely as a critic of the use of doping in sports.

Ustyugov, a two-time world champion (Lahti, 2017, two “gold”), is considered the “favorite” of the ski run (long distances).

Naturalized An is a true short track legend: he has six Olympic victories.

And these three have never been involved in the use of doping. “Many of the samples that they passed during their careers prove that they are pure athletes,” noted Pozdnyakov.

In addition, there are no other Russian stars on the lists: for example, Olympic champion in figure skating Ksenia Stolbova and Ivan Bukin (ice dancing).

At the same time, the IOC refused to comment on individual cases of delisting - ostensibly to “protect the rights of those concerned.” The list is intended to provide an invitation to exceptionally clean athletes. The IOC made it clear that new investigations and anti-doping tests could be initiated. They will be assigned to "a variety of athletes." Indeed, it was only in December that it became known that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) obtained data on doping from the Moscow laboratory for 2012 — 2015 years.

The German edition also reports on the division of "suspicious Russian athletes" into two categories.

First: the IOC believes that the fact of doping has been proven. And in this regard, 42 lifelong Olympic ban. Currently, cases are being reviewed by the Sports Arbitration Court.

Second, no doping was detected, but there are indications that the samples were "processed". And such and such suspicions may relate to those mentioned by Ana and Shipulina. This, at least, was reported by the French newspaper Le Monde, citing information obtained directly from the investigators.

On Saturday this week, the IOC intends to make a final decision on invitations to the games in South Korea.

As for the opinions of Russian sports leaders, for example, Alexei Kravtsov, president of the Russian Skating Union, a member of the executive committee of the Russian Olympic Committee, believes that the exception of Viktor An is a glaring injustice directed “against Russian athletes over the past three months”.

“Russian Koreans cannot go to Korea,” the Russian newspaper Sport-Express mocks the behavior of the proponents with sadness.

Among the others excluded are bobsleigh, hockey, snowboard and many other Russian athletes. Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Education, Sport, Tourism and Youth Affairs, Mikhail Degtyarev, believes that the attacks on sports are directed in Washington. Their goal is to provoke the Kremlin to announce a boycott to the Olympics in Pyeongchang.

A specific response from the IOC could not be reached and the Russian media. For example, RBC I tried to clarify the situation with short-tracker Ahn, but the IOC did not comment on reports about the non-admission of the six-time Olympic champion before participating in the games. The IOC press service gave the following response to the agency: “To protect the rights of individuals within the framework of the process [at the invitation of athletes from the Russian team at the Olympics], the IOC cannot comment on the information on each of the individuals, but will send a list of invitees whenever possible.”

Messages in the media about the possible removal of Viktor Ana excited not only Russia, but also Korean fans. The South Korean press is also "in shock." The fact is that An can be said to be a national hero: after all, he brought the country three gold medals at the Olympics in Turin (then was unfairly dismissed due to injury and proved his skill and willpower under the Russian flag).

And, as it should be, some commentators on the web are outraged by the exclusion of Ana from the list, others approve of this exclusion.

“It smacks of some inconsistencies. There are only 17 days left, and if he couldn’t go, didn’t they know about it beforehand? ”The website quotes sm10 from the Naver Sports portal RIA News".

“I hope this is not true. I want to see him in Pyeongchang, ”wrote another user, under the nickname DoubleU.

Along with this, a version is being circulated that this athlete could violate anti-doping rules while in the Russian national team. Opponents of the sports star already scoff at An, who has replaced citizenship. “And rightfully this Russians, if we recall that their federations worked in Sochi. Viktor An is not a Korean athlete, so it does not matter whether he will participate or not, ”the user writes under the nickname Irisam. Another nickname, someone JasonBourne, generally called Russia a “doping country”:

“These Russians are hopeless. Not only Viktor An, but many other athletes will not go, so this is quite in the spirit of the doping countries of Russia. Is it normal for 33 medals received at the Olympics to cancel 11 medals due to doping? In their country, not only the referees are bribed, but they are also pumped up with doping. It is necessary (them) to be forever removed from the Olympics. ”


There is an opinion in Russia that Russian officials are to blame for the problems of Russian athletes. And the government itself.

Lyudmila Velikova, Honored Trainer of Russia (Ksenia Stolbova and Fyodor Klimov among the students), said "Free Press"that "the whole problem with the admission to the Olympics-2018 appeared due to the fact that our government did not protect us." “Initially, I missed the situation out of control, and when I realized it was too late,” she added.

With the fact that the officials are to blame here, the two-time Olympic champion in biathlon Anatoly Alyabyev agrees.

“How was it possible to sit and wait idly on the anti-Russian decisions of the IOC? Wait and ... do nothing to remove all these wild suspicions with scratched tubes from the guys? From the very beginning it was clear that the IOC was faced with the task of removing 80% of Russians. In general, I cease to understand the principle on which our officials are appointed - non-resistance to evil, or what? Immediately, the very first charges had to be answered sharply, snap, bite. And what are they? Apologized ... "


As for the current games, then, according to the athlete, such games are “to hell!” Alyabyev admits that he should have acted according to the 1984 scenario of the year when the Soviet government decided to boycott the games in Los Angeles: “Yes, they did not succumb to provocations . So it was necessary to act now. It is a pity that President Putin himself withdrew from this problem. I think he should have intervened. Then today they would not cry through the lists. ”

The situation, we add, is clear as day: Russia will be humiliated at any occasion and in any possible way. Do not forget that big sport has long become a big policy. The worldwide popularity of the Olympic Games leads to the fact that they also become political games. And if so, then Russia is still waiting for sanctions, sanctions and more sanctions.

The “deep regret” of Russian officials about the list being shattered is indeed puzzling and the realization that the current Russia on the world stage is far from being a giant of the USSR.

Today there is an obvious political game of exhaustion of those Russian teams that were previously allowed to play in South Korea. To snatch from the ranks of the participants of the strongest athletes. Everything is done to ensure that even those who perform without a hymn and under a neutral flag do not win significant victories. And everything is being done to finally consolidate the image of Russia as a “doping country”.

      In March 2017, the banned substance probenecid was found in Roberts' doping test. The 2016 Olympic champion in the 4 × 100 m relay said that it got into his body through the kiss of a girl who, due to a sinus infection, used a drug containing probenecid. According to the athlete, he had no idea that the prohibited substance could be transmitted through a kiss. As a result, the American Arbitration Association refused to disqualify the athlete.

                Dear author. I agree with your offer; use nuclear weapons according to the IOC, let everyone know that we are determined. And in general, missiles against everyone who thought bad against us. Under Lenin, troops would immediately be sent to the country where the IOC is sitting (for example, to Poland). And here Putin is sitting and not bombing enta bad organization. You would have Oleg and Zhirinovsky’s power, you and Volfych put things in order.

          And I liked it:
          Until we have lost all that is holy,

          In the name of those who have not come from war,

          Don't Sell Homeland Guys!

          That medal of such a price is not worth it!



          Everything in the world is changeable and perishable,

          The time has come for the “five rings”.

          Forgotten that was unforgettable

          The Golden Taurus rules everywhere.



          Like a booth on a cheap stage,

          Where the hell roads run

          You are brazenly lowered to your knees -

          And they demand to crawl in humiliation!



          You are being deprived of your name like beast

          And the game will be against the rules.

          You believe in a fair fight

          And at the table, on the contrary - a cheater!



          They will greet you at the entrance,

          Smeared with black mud over the eyes.

          They have a speckled deck in their hands

          And in each sleeve - two aces.



          Embittered, wretched and stooped -

          Europe Olympic is sick:

          On behalf of "Russia" reduces cheekbones,

          And rabid saliva drips.



          Once again, the "chosen race" wins,

          Opponents squeezed in a vice.

          And pieces of live meat are jumping ...

          The stuffed dope pieces ...



          You can go. Your right.

          Decide for yourself - to be or not to be.

          But know that today is the honor of the Power

          It’s easier for you to drop than to protect.



          And you have already created the conditions,

          To nullify your hard work.

          And if you get the medals,

          Not the fact that they will not be taken away later.



          Until we lost what is holy

          In the name of those who have not come from war,

          Don't Sell Homeland Guys!

          That medal of such a price is not worth it!



          Sports combat always calls to the screen.

          And glory to those who won the battle!

          But I won’t watch these games:

          They humiliate my homeland.

          At one time, before the Olympic Games in Beijing, it was Russia that made the proposal, which the IOC accepted. The bottom line - countries boycotting the game, in the future may not be allowed on the following games as a punishment. There wouldn’t be an election in 18 - there wouldn’t be all this garbage.

          They need to throw off Putin in any way. As Navalny answered the question of whether you have developed a complete concept, first you need to drop Putin and then think about what to do next.
          The West strikes at one point - to remove Putin and return the Russia that was under Yeltsin.

          fun, fun !!! laughing laughing laughing

          It is interesting that the word “doping” is written in capital letters on the factory packaging of the cream and is crossed out in red - so in Italy it is reported that this drug is prohibited for athletes. Probably, the Norwegian decided that this, on the contrary, means that there are no prohibited substances in the cream.
          lol lol lol

          Lubrication as an excuse

          The Italian footballer Marco Borriello had to stay without football for two months after in his body in 2007 an increased content of prednisone and prednisone was found, which indicates the intake of cortisone.

          The player of Milan had to reveal the secret of his personal life, so as not to receive serious punishment. Borriello admitted that the banned drug got to him through an intimate gel lubricant. laughing laughing laughing

          Potency is more important than medals

          To make frank confessions in order to maintain a sporting career, once had an American runner Lachon Merritt. In 2010, it became known that he passed three positive doping tests for dehydroepiandrosterone. Explaining how the steroid hormone could get into his body, the athlete did not hesitate to admit that he was addicted to an advertisement that promised an increase in potency.

          The two-time Olympic champion was believed that he was not going to improve his results in this way. However, punishment for frivolity could not be avoided - Merritt was disqualified for 21 months, starting with the first failed doping test.

          Many athletes should thank Merritt for this occasion, as the continuation of this story was of great importance to the world of sports. At that time, the Olympic Charter contained a clause prohibiting the participation in the Olympic Games of those who served a suspension for doping.

          Merritt’s attorneys did not agree with this, and achieved the abolition of the rule so that the athlete could speak at the 2012 Olympics. Then he, however, was left without medals, but he won gold after four years.

          as we see from ours, the rule is not completely canceled !!! wassat wassat wassat

          Fatal meat

          In 2010, another doping scandal struck cycling. During the Tour de France stage race, Clenbuterol was discovered by Spaniard Alberto Contador. The concentration of the substance was so small that the athlete immediately put forward an unusual version - doping could get to him through low-quality beef, which he ate the day before.

          In the Spanish Cycling Federation, Contador was believed and appointed a one-year suspension, which was immediately canceled after the appeal. The athlete remained the winner of the Tour de France, and at the same time won the Giro d'Italia in 2011.

          However, the International Union of Cyclists and the World Anti-Doping Agency still doubted the story of beef. WADA even published a study according to which clenbuterol was found in only one of 286 thousand meat tests. A lawsuit was filed against Contador in the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, which decided to appoint a two-year suspension and deprive the athlete of all the titles since July 2010.

          Contador returned to the highway after being removed and is still considered one of the best cyclists in the world. For him, the story of infected meat became an occasion to become a vegetarian.

          Tea not dope

          Athletes should always be careful with food, so as not to be on a pencil with doping agencies. In this sense, the story of another cyclist, Gilberto Simoni, is indicative. During the 2002 Giro d'Italia, cocaine was discovered in the athlete's blood.

          At first, the Italian insisted that during a visit to the dentist he was given painkillers that could contain the drug. However, then the athlete's side put forward an even more unusual version. Allegedly, Simoni was visiting relatives who treated him to Coca-based tea brought from Peru. After several sips, enough cocaine has accumulated in the body so that the next doping test is positive.

          Simoni believed and completely acquitted him, but while the trial was going on, the cyclist had to miss the Tour de France, for which he purposefully prepared. wassat wassat wassat

          Italian Sarah Errani explained how a forbidden drug could get into her body. Recall that the athlete was disqualified for two months for a positive doping test for a drug that is a stimulant and metabolic hormone.

          “I never took any illegal drugs in my career,” Hernani tweeted. - From the first day I adhere to the WADA program. I never asked for therapeutic exceptions to use illegal drugs, even when I was sick.
          Letrozole is part of the drug "Femara", which my mother uses every day since 2012 after breast surgery to remove cancer. This medicine was in the house where I live.
          My family and I tried to understand how the drug got into my body. I have no doubt that I accepted it by mistake. It is likely that he got into the food while cooking. Through an experiment, it was found that the amount of substance that was found in my blood can be obtained from less than one Femara pill.

          I explained everything to the tribunal, which agreed with the following points:
          a) a positive test was a consequence of the ingestion of the drug in food;
          b) there is no evidence that I deliberately took this drug;
          c) there is no evidence that Letrozole would help improve my results.

          As a result, I am suspended for two months. The suspension will end on October 2. All my results from February 16 to June 7 are canceled. Points will be removed from me, and I must return the prize money.

          Of course I'm upset. However, now I can only wait. It is a pity that it happened, but I am clean in front of myself and did not violate any anti-doping rules

And immediately the question - why communicate, do something joint with people who quite publicly and officially believe in all sorts of nonsense, and they don’t believe your word, backed up by hundreds of negative doping tests! It is very simple - there is prof. sports, then the athletes themselves, by clubs, by other forms of associations, attract private, namely private! capital for sponsorship, other types of capital - advertising .... And live from this, accepting the rules that dictates capital! I insist - capital !! None of our skaters were banned in Korea. Do you know why - the IOC info committee is against it. That is, it is possible to be disqualified, but sponsors do not need zero broadcast ratings, the main consumer is Japan, Korea, China and empty seats in the stands. And besides our girls there’s no one to look at, and the popularity of Medvedeva and her image of Sailor Moon in Asia just rolls over. So they stuck on the IOC, supposedly incorruptible, and shut up the IOC, immediately BELIEVED the innocence of our athletes

        WADA “accidentally” destroyed all samples of American athletes over the past 26 years
        26 July 2016, 22: 29
        Suddenly it turned out that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lost all samples of athletes who played for the US team from 1990 to 2016. The agency explained that this was the result of a cleaning lady’s mistake, which accidentally dropped racks with samples of American athletes and all 30 thousand tubes were smashed to smithereens.
        The destruction of all doping samples by WADA American athletes reported the British agency BBC.

        In March 2017, the banned substance probenecid was found in Roberts' doping test. The 2016 Olympic champion in the 4 × 100 m relay said that it got into his body through the kiss of a girl who, due to a sinus infection, used a drug containing probenecid. According to the athlete, he had no idea that the prohibited substance could be transmitted through a kiss. As a result, the American Arbitration Association refused to disqualify the athlete.

And they want to participate, they have been going towards this all their lives. We will leave the IOC - we will be deprived of the other Olympiads with great (!) Joy. If here it seems to many that, having left the IOC, we, like, with a proud head raised, are withdrawing undefeated, then personally I am afraid that everything will look exactly the opposite.

I assure you, they will try to hold us there as long as possible to the great joy of the concerned spectators.
          No, guys. Since we were so liquidly condemned in 90's and later, we need to clean ourselves up, as if it were disgusting and filthy from this. And you still have to clean up more than once or twice, the mattresses have long hands. And instead of cleaning you want to hide in a corner and let it stink further.

            I was NOT rolled with the Olympics, because for me the Olympics means absolutely nothing. This is some kind of international business, from which ordinary citizens get no benefit. And the fans are the same. Since it’s now customary to get sick in TV pubs, for the health of the Olympics it turns out not only does not bring any benefit, but even harms the health of the fans.
            It would be better if this Olympic money was spent on the development of physical education, free sports sections, etc. And so the country spent a lot of money on athletes and officials, and received only shame and disappointment. And the people did not become any healthier.
            And I assure you, I am NOT furious how are you from the lawlessness of the “partners”, because the partners behave as their education and Russia allow them. The "partners" decided to trample on the weak. Well, these are they "civilized white people." For Russia and for you, is this news? If not, where did you get the desire to "stand with your head proudly raised when feces are thrown at you" or "agree de facto with all the accusations and become like an evil rat driven into a shop"? Who do you want to impress? To the west? And why do you need this?
            Better engage in the development of yourself and your country. You will make a greater impression on them: for them, each of your success is a knife in the heart. And trying to play THEIR games according to THEIR rules is a silly and thankless task. Because they themselves do not comply.

          I’ve read an entertaining article, it’s well designed .... it seems to be generally not about the behavior of athletes, but it is rather succinctly described tongue wassat good
          And if purely human?
          And if purely human, the decision of the Russian state not to impose its opinion on the athletes was ... kind. Yes, just kind.
          The situation is extremely unusual for a country where state interests historically dominate over private, public - over personal, and any citizen is ultimately regarded as a soldier who should be ready to fulfill his duty and the order given to him.
          And the latter concerns athletes to a tenfold degree, given that the great sport during the Cold War turned into a sublimation of the global geopolitical confrontation, an object of national and state pride.
          As a result, the Russian government unexpectedly broke its own centuries-old attitude and did things important for itself for the sake of the private and absolutely selfish desire of a small number of people - several hundred athletes for whom a trip to the Olympics is a blue dream for which they are ready to sacrifice everything.
          I repeat, for this text the main question is not whether the state acted correctly and cleverly, but it really did kindly - kindly to its own people.
          Perhaps this is the main lesson that should be learned from what is happening in Russian society - our state is now capable and ready to take into account the private interests of its citizens ...
          Although no, the main lesson of what is happening is still different.
          For the sake of its athletes, Russia took upon itself all the bumps of the current showdown with the international sports bureaucracy: it did not slam the door, accepted the humiliation of the state flag, agreed to pay fifteen million compensation, etc. etc.

          All in order for some private individuals to fulfill the dream of their life.
          What is the result?
          But in the end, these individuals continue to be subjected to sophisticated humiliation by the same international sports bureaucracy .....

            Everything would be as beautiful and kind as you describe, if not for one BUT. State funds were spent on training athletes and maintaining near sports officials. That is, folk. And that means "to take into account the private interests of their citizens" at the expense of taxes collected from all over the country - this is some excessive kindness.
            If this Olympic party supported itself with its own money and did not drain from the budget funds that are already not enough for normal pensions and salaries for doctors and teachers, then no one would say a word. Everyone would regard this as a business - people invested money and did not receive the planned profit. It happens...
            But everything happens exactly the opposite. The state tells the people that Olympic records are the prestige and pride of the country! That Russia cannot do without this at all. And so the whole Ministry of Sports feeds and tens of millions invests in the training of athletes and tens of millions more as various contributions to feed the international Olympic parasites. With such a supply and funding from the state, athletes cannot simply be "private individuals who want to fulfill the dream of their life." With such a state organization of sports, an athlete cannot be considered otherwise than "as a soldier who should be ready to fulfill his duty and the order given to him."
            The state spent national money on the athlete, and therefore, when this state is humiliated, the athlete does not have the right to pretend that he has nothing to do with it, but simply a “private person”. He must. Really owes to both the state and the people.

        Explain to us “stupid” - what will TAM gain if Russia will boycott such “games”? And also - what will Russia lose if it will boycott?
        And then I personally think "stupid" to think - that with the correct voice of the naked motives of the blockade of the "games", Russia will not only not lose, but also win. good Do you think the rest will like that the Americans “can do everything” - figs, only everyone “writes with hot urine” Get up, openly state this and leave OK and start everywhere to boycott these games.
        If China in the economy can and is already doing various actions to avoid the dominance of stakes, then no one is stopping Russia from initiating the process - refusals of SUCH IOC and such WADA. good . Yes - there will be squeals and demands to “punish Russia,” but then others will take such a step because they are not included in the supposedly “indulged” athletes. Actually, that Russia is losing from the step I proposed - but nothing, because here ALREADY it will continue to be so, our real applicants for victory will simply not be allowed to compete.

        Participation in the Olympics is not an obligation. There are world championships, world cups, which in composition will be better than the Olympics. Such a religious attitude to the Olympics has remained from Soviet times. Coubertin what did he say? Oh sport, you are the world! And the Soviet Union was for peace. So everything has grown very well for propaganda. And now it is necessary to lower the degree of exaltation. In federations, more sane people work. Although ... After the IOC they can take on them.

        Here is an article from one resource.
        So the Olympics. What problem we will solve by participating in it like a rootless cattle.
        Without the symbols of Russia, humiliated and offended.
        Tear no one to tear. On the other hand, officials who saw grandmothers on the sport of high achievements will chew snot on the IOC’s position, who didn’t let our athletes go ... etc.
        We need it. We sent the IOC forest in 1984. So what. Survived.
        The position of the IOC is purely American. It fits into the principle of sanctions.
        The ban on the use of the flag and symbols of Russia is a cynical political insult to the country.
        1. Refuse to participate in the Olympics.
        2. Introduce sanctions against members of the IOC.
        3. Stop payments to the IOC.
        4. Initiate a criminal case against IOC members for insulting the symbols of state power in Russia.
        5. Athletes who wish to participate in the Olympiad without a flag and anthem go at their own expense.
        6. To revise the attitude to high achievement sports by removing state financing and transferring funds to children's sports.
        7. To realize that time has shown that the sport of great achievements has nothing to do with a healthy lifestyle.
        This is a disabled incubator.

        PS: they say that the athlete went to the Olympics for 4 years. We have thousands of sick and destitute people who have been moving towards normal life for decades. And do not reach. And we do not help them, but lop-footed players who have long lost contact with Russia. Moreover, some of them are generally foreign mercenaries. Where is Russia?

        I myself, like many of my peers, have been collecting money for competitions, trips and equipping sambo-judo premises for my children for several years.
        This is some shame! (tsopyricht Bulgakov). When I was growing up, everything was financed by the state, right down to the nutrition of children on trips to competitions.
        I think that money should be allocated primarily for children's sports and physical education among the masses. While billions (of which no one knows how much has been plundered) will be spent for the World Cup, in fact, for our footless millionaire footballers who otherwise cannot go to the World Cup, millions for the sake of traveling sports bureaucrats to parties in Europe at all kinds of IOCs - nothing will come of us. Yes, they will sell all for business trips to Lausanne any.
        My opinion is not to let anyone into the Olympiad, to ban broadcasting, to replace the entire top echelon of sports officials with competent ones. And for the World Cup, the Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk and the next Olympics, bend the wada and the mock to the fullest.

        Russian Olympic athletes will not be able to demonstrate national symbols during the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang. This is stated on the official website of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

          Whoa, you woke up!)) And 1,5 years ago, in Rio, when LA athletes were forbidden to even paint their nails in flag colors, how about that? Did the news pass by? In fact, if the NOC is temporarily suspended and the athletes travel strictly individually, as stipulated by the IOC Charter, then of course only the IOC can decide what is possible and what is not. By the way, and how to invite as a public organization, it can selectively, without telling anyone why Vasya was invited, but Antosha is not ... Another question - why the hell should we participate in such an organization? Moreover, all the top officials of the IOC and WADA are all English-Americans and their most faithful satellites. We will really focus on working with international federations in sports - there are fewer Anglo-Saxon lawlessnesses there and sponsors understand that sometimes it’s necessary to close a shop without Russian athletes. How many of our IOCs lifted for life? And how many federations banned?

      The result is one - humiliation in the process and will continue during the time of the Olympics and after.
      What our populists wanted and got.
      Once again I affirm in accepting the statement about the erroneous choice of our President of the Russian Federation in participating in the 2018 Olympic Games.
      Errors Russian President Putin V.V. Does not recognize and does not work on errors.
      So you just have to watch the humiliation of our symbolism, the national team and the country!
      And it is completely clear who is responsible for this.
      Let me remind you once again that we have the State Sports System and there are NO autonomy and independence for athletes of Russian citizens from officials from Russian sports. From the word at all!
      A decision of this level (on taking part in the Olympics 2018 in such a situation) was approved by the President of the Russian Federation.
      Athletes nominally voted, as he was voiced from above. There is no fault of athletes in deciding on a trip to the Olympic Games 2018, this is the decision of the head of state.
      For the budget money they will buy the right to broadcast and we will admire. Our media will fray the topic of the offended and not justice. The truth is not clear to anyone;)) (although people hawks and judging by the traffic to those in our media, this works, there are a lot of examples of advocates of such balobolism on this site without a goal and result)
      The purpose of such a decision to participate in the Olympics 2018 is not clear, as a result of which we get the humiliation of Russia and all citizens of the Russian Federation.

      PS. They made a good decision. And .... ???? !!! We have not developed any strategies or defense tactics. Nothing! And now we are reaping the benefits of such an ill-conceived decision - an absolutely unsystematic approach, i.e. On maybe!
      And this is a clear example of a system created by the President of the Russian Federation that does not work without manual control. And it shows the destructiveness and weakness of the vertical system from the matrix.
      And the situation with the elections is also a clear example!
      Because Everyone understands the erroneous course of the Russian government, but still understands that if Putin leaves, then it is not clear what will happen to the country!
      A system that is not tied to manual control and one-man management is detrimental and risky for any country. The absence of duplicate systems and the fear of "power" and oligarchs before society leads to what happened with the process of further humiliation of Russia and the swallowing of it by many.
      I do not make such a decision, and even if I’m not one of many, I’m not going to swallow the humiliation and inaction of the head of state, the President of the Russian Federation for the protection of Russia and Russian citizens.

      IOC is the enemy, but he is not alone
      Of course, you can search and find the external enemies of the country outside the solar system, but probably it makes sense to look at the enemies of fools inside.
      Rodchenkov is an obvious scum, criminal, traitor, defector, etc. scoundrel.
      But doping cases are built into the business model of sports management in the country, and this changes the case, because it includes a lot of money, deep cuts and large kickbacks.
      Who appointed Rodchenkova as the head of the country's main anti-doping structure - isn’t it muddy, why did he do it and on what terms?
      Why was he released in the USA after his dismissal, when the tail of doping crimes was already reaching for him? Was it not clear what kind of fruit it was? At the same time, he also dragged away the computer base with him, from which all these "indications" are sucked out.
      Why wasn’t a criminal case brought against him in Russia in a timely manner, who did not want to and prevented this, did not give the case progress?
      How does it turn out that the main one in sports - Mutko - is in all matters of sports, in Sochi, in football, in athletics, etc. - aside, he seemed to be out of business, so he passed by? Although it is clear that without this very muddy gentleman no serious issue could be resolved.
      The entire sports management system in the country is built on the business interests of senior officials, hence the roots of doping scandals are drawn. And all the other failures, failures and dead ends where these rulers lead the country.

      Yes, everything is written correctly, except for the incorrectness of comparing the government of the USSR with the government of the Russian Federation. For all the negative things that happened in the USSR, the government was pro-Soviet, and the well-being of the bureaucratic apparatus depended entirely on internal factors. The current illegitimate government is a cryptoneosionist government, whose "well-being" has long been taken offshore. The Kremlin will not understand in any way that frozen funds stolen from the people will never be returned to corrupt officials who dared to oppose the West ... Moreover, the reason for this opposition was not the well-being of the indigenous peoples of Russia.

The boycott is unacceptable for the oligarchs from sports and will bring big financial losses to the athletes, but they still invested heavily and financially and their health. Humanly, they can be understood. The white flag will mean humiliation for Kremlin politicians - they get it and they don’t put it in a penny. So it's a dead end.
      It is time to admit that in fact the whole sport of the highest achievements, without doping, has long been impossible. And does not bring any benefit to people. Throw a mountain of incriminating evidence on Western athletes and functionaries, on the IOC with WADA. Zero the results of the Olympic Games and prohibit professional sports to units.

      WADA “accidentally” destroyed all samples of American athletes over the past 26 years
      26 July 2016, 22: 29
      Suddenly it turned out that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lost all samples of athletes who played for the US team from 1990 to 2016. The agency explained that this was the result of a cleaning lady’s mistake, which accidentally dropped racks with samples of American athletes and all 30 thousand tubes were smashed to smithereens.
      The destruction of all doping samples by WADA American athletes reported the British agency BBC.
      “As a result of the careless actions of a cleaning company employee, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lost all samples of samples of American athletes who played for the US team since 1990,” the BBC reports.
      “This is terrible, - the American section of samples in our archive is completely destroyed. To date, there is not a single sample of samples taken from American athletes who have played for the US team since 1990, ”one of the leading members of the World Anti-Doping Agency, who wished to remain anonymous, told BBC correspondent Daniel Sandford.
      When asked what happened, a WADA official said that “one of the cleaning agency employees, while cleaning the American section, inadvertently touched the sample rack, after which he fell, dragging other shelves along the domino principle. As a result, more than 30000 tubes were broken, the rest are not identifiable, as they were stored in signed and numbered cells, and there was no information on the tubes themselves.
      Samples from 1990 to 2016 were irretrievably lost, since the archive was temporarily stored together with the latest data. Previously, the American archive of samples was removed from special refrigerators, in connection with their unscheduled repair, and placed on ordinary racks. The work should have taken no more than 1-2 days, after which the samples had to return to the place. "
      The BBC notes that the “falling shelving” incident occurred on the eve of a visit to WADA offices by a joint Austro-Russian delegation of world-famous microbiologists and biochemists who were to conduct a comparative analysis of the samples of Russian athletes with American samples and draw very authoritative conclusions. It is noteworthy that this delegation with great difficulty achieved permission for its mission, since, according to our reliable data, there were very, very insurmountable obstacles in its path and only their authority in the scientific world helped them get permission in MOK.
      Representatives of the WADA leadership said they had already terminated the contract with a cleaning agency, whose employee so “successfully” dropped the shelves with American analyzes. “We hope that the awkward cleaning lady has a great future, if not at WADA, then at USADA,” the BBC host says ironically.

        There is a very good principle - do not sit down to play with cheaters, you will lose all the time. As soon as we, as a country, stop playing cheating games such as the "Olympic movement" (to whom and why did it fall?), Like "pure athletes" (you tell me about 1000 official doping experts from the "Western" world) and other rubbish, so right away a good half of the globe respects us and you can develop your own rules and conditions. While we play by the rules of others, which constantly twist under us, we will always be the loser. This is clear and understandable.

So let them find sponsors, private traders without state capital! I emphasize - not Gazprom, Russian Railways, Rosneft, and ... Namely, these private traders are turned by the beits about training, their whole lives, WADA and so on. crap. And we will buy popcorn and see this marvelous series laughing

      I think that athletes are doing the right thing, that they don’t give up and go to the Olympics in spite of the efforts of the USA and their pocket WADA. The whole WORLD sees the IOC SHAME and POLITICAL CORRUPTION in OLYMPIC SPORTS. I hope that such absolutely impudent and lawless behavior of the IOC and WADA will bring them BIG PROBLEMS as a result. I hope that the Olympic sport will be cleared of corruption.

      Dropped predictably lower further.
      From the last:TASS, January 26th. All Russian athletes will have to sign a declaration suggesting excommunication from the 2018 Games in case of violation of the rules of conduct established by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the Olympics in Pyeongchang. This was reported by the IOC press service.

      The IOC has developed a declaration form for Russian athletes who will perform at the 2018 Games in the status of Olympic athlete from Russia (Olympic athlete from Russia). By signing the document, each invited Russian athlete will confirm that he never violated the anti-doping vaccine and did not serve a suspension for this; that he will honestly and fully abide by the rules of the World Anti-Doping Code and all IOC rules; that he received an individual invitation to the 2018 Games from the IOC; that he will not be allowed to the Games in case of violation of the above points and is ready to accept additional sanctions.
      The IOC will begin to send invitations to Russian athletes to participate in the Games on January 27.
      Another form of declaration has been developed for the remaining members of the Russian delegation. In it, in particular, each representative of the delegation will have to confirm that he was not accredited in any capacity at the 2014 Games in Sochi; that he did not assist athletes or others in breaking the anti-doping rules; that he did not train and did not provide medical support to athletes convicted of violating anti-doping rules by the Denis Oswald commission, etc.
      Athletes and other members of the Russian delegation must also confirm that they respect the decision of the IOC Executive Committee of December 5, which allowed them to participate in the 2018 Games, which will be held from February 9 to 25, under the Olympic flag.

      The whole story with the Olympics turned into a humiliation of Russia as a power. Big sport has long been not only business, but also politics. This is an objective reality, no matter what. The victory of an athlete flying the national flag has a certain weight and works for the prestige of the country. Awarding the winners (if they happen after the total non-invitation of the leaders) under the white flag will only emphasize the wretchedness of the position of the Russian Federation.
      To avoid all these humiliations, it was possible only in one case - an unambiguous boycott. This position should have been clearly voiced at the very beginning. And at the highest level. Instead, a slurred moo and hide and seek behind the backs of athletes. Decide for yourself, and I'm in the house. Now we have what we have, and the omitted athletes are members of various IOC commissions. Particularly cynical forms of the estate are yet to come.

If he is a political impotent, or observes the red lines drawn by partners, then can he go to rest?

        I add from the report of the Oswald Commission that the absence of traces of opening the test tubes in Sochi is not proof of the athlete’s cleanliness, because perhaps the FSB learned to open tubes without traces !!! This is exactly what it was formulated - perhaps I learned ... And why the FSB, and not the GRU of the General Staff?)) Even the old senile Maclaren did not reach such a degree of cynicism, he even scratched the tubes in good faith. And here, even the appearance of the presumption of innocence was lazy. The logical question is, why consist, collaborate, and even communicate with such people / organizations ?? As for me, it makes no sense, the further from these, the more we will be.
        By the way, read the report of McLaren and Oswald, they are in tyrnet. I give the word - be stunned! Fiction with noir detection in one bottle! True nifiga does not fight with facts, but this is - all the worse for facts! wink

      It’s hard to write, all the more calmly analyze the lawlessness that the IOC has committed against our Olympians! But anger and resentment are bad helpers! There are more questions to the IOC and to our sports organizers and managers - more than answers! Their actions, but rather incomprehensible steps, indicate that the public is simply FOUND! If the IOC is a public organization, then why do AUTHORITIES contact it? It's time to figure it out! If the Olympics is a business, then we need to conduct as businessmen and play by the rules
      business! If this is a sporting event for representatives of countries — and what are the IOC bans on the FLAG-GERBU? And the most important thing is that if they want to put Russia into the ANGLE for political reasons and hide behind the Olympic Charter, then our response methods should be POLITICAL! So far, one thing is helplessness and legal the illiteracy of the Russian sports leadership allowed the IOC to humiliate our country — twist the ropes and mock the elementary rights of athletes — act like slaves; IOC — I want to SELL — I want to LEARN from sports life! I do not want to end the comments with an appeal - GIVE UP AGAINST THE CROWBAR NO RECEPTION! Yes, you need to wipe the spit from the IOC-

      Until we lost what is holy
      In the name of those who have not come from war,
      Don't Sell Homeland Guys!

      That medal of such a price is not worth it!

      Everything in the world is changeable and perishable.
      The time has come for the “five rings”.
      The ideals of Coubertin are forgotten.
      The Golden Taurus rules everywhere.

      Like a booth, on a cheap stage,
      Where the devil rules in the flesh
      You are brazenly lowered to your knees
      And they demand to crawl in humiliation!

      For them, both lies and truth - all are one!
      And the game will be against the rules.
      You believe in a fair fight
      And at the table, on the contrary - a cheater!

      They will greet you at the entrance,
      Smeared with black mud - for the eyes.
      They have a speckled deck in their hands
      And in each sleeve - two aces.

      Embittered, wretched and stooped,
      Europe is all chronically ill:
      On behalf of "Russia" reduces cheekbones,
      And rabid saliva drips.

      Once again, the "chosen race" wins,
      Opponents squeezed in a vice.
      And pieces of live meat are jumping ...
      Stuffed with dope pieces.

      The "elect" have the Right, there is no Prohibition.
      Did not work out? You can repeat it!
      And as an example - the relay!
      Everything as usual! What is there to talk about?

      You can go. Your right.
      Decide for yourself - to be or not to be.
      But know that today is the Honor of the Power
      It’s easier for you to drop than to protect.

      And you have already created the conditions,
      To nullify your hard work.
      And if you get the medals,
      Not the fact that they will not be taken away later.

      Until we lost what is holy
      In the name of those who have not come from war,

      Don't Sell Homeland Guys!
      That medal of such a price is not worth it!

      Sports combat always calls to the screen.
      And glory to those who won the battle!

      But the thought is quite ... Only on the chest there is an OST patch, and on the back there is a target or a yellow circle (I think you can find photos and sizes in the archives), and the shape is striped (the strip is naturally vertical)

      It is a pity that President Putin has withdrawn himself from this problem. I think he should have intervened. Then we wouldn’t be crying over the lists now.”
      Here... how to say, let's assume that he forbade it. Would there be a scandal? I'm sure so. The topic would have been broached until the elections, after which it would have been forgotten. They shouted that we have someone to speak to, but the GDP is not letting us in. Now we see the development of the scandal, but believe me, this is not the end. We will see the depth of the IOC's fall. Today they came up with rules specifically for Russian athletes, tomorrow they will say that medals must be received backwards and with a white flag in the ass. This is not so much an insult to Russia as the fall of the Olympics as a species, as an event. I would have waited until the Olympics itself and before it the whole team withdrew from the performances. To see, so to speak, all the meanness that the Anglo-Saxons can invent and that the performers can afford. We'll see who's who, it's a whole show.
      By and large, they are aiming not at athletes, but at Putin.

      Everything that happens with sports once again confirms that an official is able to ruin any undertakings and creativity. As soon as the bureaucratic apparatus appears with its own regulations and rules, in accordance with its owner, and constantly, like a cancerous tumor growing, it is possible on this activity and the prospect of development give up. Any apparatus immediately becomes dependent on the feeding trough, becomes the slave of the one who pays, turning public organizations and the best initiatives into an apparatus of political pressure and war. This happened with Eurovision, the IOC with its notorious WADA, UNESCO, PACE, the Council of Europe, the OSCE , the WTO, and with other organizations that seem to be far from politics, and therefore have lost all meaning in their existence for us. The time has come to close this IOC as an obsolete project and create a new one on other principles, democratic and professional, such as the Council of Sports Federations or something similar, without unity of command and the right of restrictions and prohibitions, the most important thing is a collective and constantly changing body, and the fight against doping will be given to the national Ministry of Internal Affairs, creating one-time commissions for major competitions. Something like that.

      Today there is an obvious political game to exhaust those Russian teams that were previously allowed to play in South Korea. To remove the strongest athletes from the ranks of participants. Everything is being done to ensure that even those who perform without the anthem and under a neutral flag do not win significant victories.

      Those who are not “caught out” will still be forced to have their tank tested. In public. You yourself know the morals in the West... After which they will be forced to repent for seventeen days in the center of Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium for the fact that they are from Russia in the first place.
      Well, we know that “this is how it should be!”? Therefore, the athletes will be the heroes who lay down on the embrasure, the rest will dry themselves off again. And for the fact that they wiped themselves out, Zhukov will ask “for everyone” once again for forgiveness... But despite all the machinations of the imperialists, we know that we are Great)?

      The Kremlin needs to resolve the issue of power for the next 6 years, “business,” as they say, is through the roof, the close and distant circle of the Guarantor is in anxiety, and they are impatient for some kind of Olympics. Leave the Kremlin alone, he has given you some trouble.., decide with him, otherwise Peskova is already breaking into a sweat from every successive kink in sports. And he is the sovereign’s servant, working tirelessly for the “good” of his homeland, but here it is...

      It is a pity that President Putin has withdrawn himself from this problem.

      Putin has long withdrawn himself. And not only from the Olympics, in fact from the entire internal politics of the country. He only feeds the people with promises and fake statistics..

          Many people still don’t realize that neither the government, nor the president, nor local administrations now and never had the task of “the well-being of the peoples and nations of the Russian Federation” as well as “raising, ensuring and maintaining the prestige of the country and state in the international arena.” coupled with “concern for fair and socially protected provision of all segments of the population of the Russian Federation in accordance with the prestige and international position of the countries. Therefore, the country is a loser and a state living according to concepts. What helps is that some of the interests of the Rothschilds and England partly coincide with the interests of the population of the territory. In particular, preventing Americans from entering territories controlled by the British (oil and gas). Crimea is ours only for this reason, and not thanks to the military geniuses. It was lucky and coincidental. It is impossible to hold on to the markets and wells of the Caucasus if from the east the Americans are in Georgia and from the west in the Crimea. Until Voronezh, everything comes under their control. And so “yes” - Putin is great, “everyone thinks about the people” Crimea has now been returned to the people, while the Moscow and Caucasus people are already bending everything to themselves, they are probably trying for the people

      Dear author. I agree with your offer; use nuclear weapons according to the IOC, let everyone know that we are determined. And in general, missiles against everyone who thought bad against us. Under Lenin, troops would immediately be sent to the country where the IOC is sitting (for example, to Poland). And here Putin is sitting and not bombing enta bad organization. You would have Oleg and Zhirinovsky’s power, you and Volfych put things in order.

      TO THE RF ATHLETES WHO HAVEN’T LOST THEIR MEMORY AND CONSCIENCE YET:
      Quote from the "Charter of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation"

      "1. The Battle Banner of a military unit is a particularly honorable sign that distinguishes the characteristics of the combat mission, history and merits of the military unit, and also indicates its belonging to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Battle Banner of a military unit is a symbol of military honor, valor and glory, serves as a reminder to every serviceman about the heroic traditions and sacred duty of defending the Fatherland.
      2. The Battle Banner is presented to military units upon their formation on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation by representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
      3. The Battle Banner is retained by the military unit for the entire time, regardless of changes in the name and numbering of the military unit. Changes in the name and numbering of a military unit are recorded in the Certificate of the President of the Russian Federation, issued upon presentation of the Battle Banner.
      4. The Battle Banner is always with its military unit, and on the battlefield - in the area of ​​the unit’s combat operations.
      5. All personnel of a military unit are obliged to selflessly and courageously defend the Battle Banner in battle and prevent it from being captured by the enemy. If the Battle Banner is lost, the commander of the military unit and the military personnel directly responsible for such disgrace are subject to trial, and the military unit is subject to disbandment."

      Sensation !!! New tragic details of the Olympic Massacre have become known! Officials from the sport scored water in their mouths!
      A cleaning lady accidentally destroyed all doping tests of US athletes
      Posted by Editorial Office "GOSNOSTI" | 26.07.2016/XNUMX/XNUMX |
      A “clumsy" cleaning lady accidentally broke all (!) Samples of American athletes from 1990 to 2016. The circus arrived, friends, we sit back = because of the careless actions of a cleaning company employee, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lost all samples of samples of American athletes.
      it was the American rack that was hurt, and it was on it that unsigned test tubes stood, so all that survived is “not subject to identification”. It’s ridiculous. Moreover, it turned out that fresh samples were also lost, because it was at the time of harvesting that it was decided to “temporarily” transfer them to the 1990 samples:
      “The American archive of samples was taken from special refrigerators, in connection with their unscheduled repair, and placed on ordinary racks. The work should have taken no more than 1-2 days, after which the samples had to return to the place. "
      How many matches. It’s just a fairy tale.
      I think no one will be surprised by the fact that the incident occurred on the eve of a visit to the WADA office by a delegation of Austro-Russian microbiologists who were supposed to compare samples of American “athletes” and Russian athletes. Woe is what, there will now be no comparative analysis.
      The leadership of the World Anti-Doping Agency assured that it terminated the contract with a cleaning agency. Well, apparently, the cleaning lady has already been waiting for in Washington with awards and bonuses.
      The most interesting thing is that they don’t want to discuss this info with us and quietly keep silent !!!

      I won’t even read it, the whole point is in the title!
      What does the Kremlin have to do with it, is it the Kremlin that sent them there? Russia is suspended, there are no Russian athletes there. There are people there with their own selfish interests, without homeland and honor, whose successes will not be worth a penny, and will be forgotten in a week, and will only be remembered as how they wiped their feet. They didn’t even show solidarity with the athletes who were suspended for far-fetched reasons. Putin said, “I can’t stop them from going.”
      But they were told that they would be given nightmares and that they would wipe their feet on them. Did you talk? They talked! So now let the athletes wipe themselves out of nowhere.
      P.S. The Kremlin made a mistake when they allowed a person like Rodchinkov to do something.

      I'm not tired of wiping myself off. Lately, we’ve been making excuses for the boy from Urengoy, and now we’re shouting that we’re sorry. Who we are dealing with in the West, and this is from the IOC and WADA to McCain. And they don’t care about all this snot from our officials and rich people. They were stuck in the 90s, there was complete love from the West and their future was cloudless. But the dreams were deflated. They are sacrificial sheep and there is nothing more.

      If Russia had approached the issue of timely responses to its own humiliations, well, at least at the level of determination of Madame Clinton, the head of the IOC, together with her accomplices, would have long been lynched on the streets by indignant sports fans, just as Gaddafi was lynched by the “outraged” crowd,” which was applauded by US Secretary of State Madame Clinton with “WOW.” By the way, was Clinton condemned for such an act by the “world community”? Therefore, Putin, with the exclamation, “WOW, Madam Clinton,” has every right to award such sports fans with the highest orders of Russia. Vitaly.
