World sports under the American yoke. Consequences of the "Rodchenkov Act"

WADA is not RADA


The American side was initially very unhappy with the overly mild reaction of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to the scandalous testimony of the fugitive Rodchenkov. In addition to punishment, Russia required (as it seemed to Washington) even harsher measures. There were also disagreements with WADA over the division of spheres of influence. As a result, it seemed quite logical for the congressmen to extend their internal criminal law to the entire sports world.

The very appearance of the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act (or RADA) raises many questions. From the moment this act was approved by the President of the United States (no one doubts this anymore), the US intelligence services will be able to legally detain sports functionaries and managers, fine up to $ 1 million, and even imprison them for 10 years. Naturally, this will require proof of the use of doping. According to American methods and with the involvement of American specialists and laboratories.



The law mentions systemic “doping schemes” and “doping fraud”. It is designed to bring the heads of sports departments to justice. The Senate argues that athletes will not be punished for doping. Since, first of all, those who forced the athletes to use prohibited drugs will go under the press.

Dopingmans for confiscation


However, it will be quite possible to bring a doping athlete to criminal responsibility.

When one country is taken to administer a criminal court around the world, the hapless athletes will have few lawyers. Given the prevalence of United States allies around the world, many athletes will generally be barred from traveling outside their own country.

In addition to imprisonment and a huge fine, those convicted under the "Rodchenkov Act" may also face confiscation of property in favor of the United States.

Aggressive extraterritoriality


The second important aspect of the punitive initiative of the legislators from Washington was the actual removal of the notorious WADA from the case. The Rodchenkov Act replaces the anti-doping agency, seriously increasing the punishment for abuse of prohibited chemicals.

Initially, WADA, like the International Olympic Committee, was strongly opposed to RADA. But then they unexpectedly accepted him, although not without reservations. In particular, the agency does not welcome this law, but will not hinder its implementation.

A very two-faced position of the main anti-doping organization in the world. Vitold Banka, head of the agency, said in this regard:

“WADA is ready to cooperate with the American authorities to minimize the negative consequences of the“ Rodchenkov Act ”.

Initially, the agency was not satisfied with the extraterritoriality of the law, which could undermine the global sports system.

If the United States can bring doping under its own criminal law, then why not, for example, China or European countries? Moreover, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain already have similar laws. But they are limited exclusively to the limits of internal boundaries.

Hypothetically, the massive adoption of similar laws by other countries will cause an intractable collapse, when the special services of different states will simply hunt for individuals from sports. Lawsuits, extraditions, ultimatums and other criminal fights will become the main hallmarks of sports. This is exactly what WADA thought when they discussed the prospects of the "act of Grigory Rodchenkov."

But now WADA has suddenly changed their minds.

Exceptional "no doping" people


History the confrontation between WADA and American sports developed around the actual integrity of the latter.

Are there many rumored doping scandals related to the NBA, NHL, American baseball or football? All reports from USADA (United States National Anti-Doping Agency) record the suspicious chemical purity of their own athletes.

At the same time, Washington does not allow external experts to participate in the most high-budget national sports. By the way, about the same thing is happening with the US electoral system - any external independent observation is strongly discouraged.

When WADA gave a hint about the control of professional sports leagues in the United States, it immediately received a notice of the withdrawal of the Americans from the agency. Washington is (by tradition) the main filler of the joint budget in almost all companies. And this is what seriously tempered the ardor of anti-doping commissioners.

As a result, the mentioned Vitold Banka agreed not to touch the industry of sports shows for Americans. And he reluctantly accepted the "Rodchenkov act."

Pact "one Yankees in someone else's stadium"


Any international competition in which at least one US citizen is present is subject to this law.

It is likely that this very only Yankee may be a mere spectator.

At the same time, the restrictions do not apply to professional or even student sports leagues within the US country.

Obviously, absolutely all American competitions (in which only Americans participate and it is on their own territory) are by default held exclusively without at least some kind of doping?

The lobby took Rodchenkov's sword away from the Yankees


In one of the first versions of the RADA law, North American lawyers still provided for the extension of criminal liability to their own athletes. But the lobbies, in the hands of which multibillion-dollar revenues from national sports shows, sent the project in time for revision.

Very precise comments on this aspect of the "Rodchenkov Act" were previously voiced in WADA:

“We are wondering why this bill excludes a significant portion of American sports. If the law isn't good enough for American sports, why is it good for the rest of the world? "

And their basketball was completely exempted from doping tests


Threats to cut off vital funding, however, have left the question rhetorical.

A small reference about the "cleanest" sport in the world. Up to 80% of American baseball league players use anabolic steroids regularly.

The famous baseball player Jose Canseco wrote about this in his book Juiced. Where he mentioned that the only season in his sports career took place without "chemistry" in 1998. Canseco then himself gave up steroids, citing divorce proceedings. And there is still no talk of any subsequent "act of Canseco".

For example, in 2018 there were only nine doping tests in the American Football League.

And in basketball, they decided to abandon such a troublesome procedure altogether.

How to respond to RADA?


Despite the fact that the "Rodchenkov act" is aimed primarily at eliminating WADA, and not at Russia, domestic sports will have to somehow adapt.

The Kremlin's reaction in this situation is quite understandable. Dmitry Peskov commented:

“In Russia, he is extremely critical of any US attempts to extend its jurisdiction to other countries. Such cross-border practice does not suit us, we do not agree with it. Apart from concern, this can cause nothing. "

The lawmakers of Russia expressed themselves more sharply. Elena Panina, member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, said:

"Given the vagueness of the" doping codes ", any coach or manager can go to an American prison, whose ward has outstripped the American in the competition ... And it is possible that, as a result, US athletes will compete exclusively with themselves."

The participation of athletes from Russia in competitions marked by the American criminal yoke can now damage the reputation of the domestic sport. It is one thing to be under the control of the international authorized organization WADA, and quite another to compete in fear of American justice.

A full ratification of the "Rodchenkov Act" will virtually kill modern sport as we knew it. Was there a lot of good things in this very international sport?

Pseudo-olympism


The competition has turned into explicit show programming with gigantic advertising contracts and broadcast payouts. Has sport become a driver of a healthy lifestyle among the population? And here by - now any novice athlete understands that with banned chemistry it is much easier to become a champion. At the same time, moral and material bonuses will more than cover the loss of health. Everyone knows that the portrait of a typical fan has nothing to do with the image of a healthy lifestyle person.

The coronavirus is more likely to lead humanity to take care of its body and spirit than the Olympic Games or the World Cup.

Is it worth at all to participate now in international similarities of competitions, taking into account all of the above? Or is it more expedient to find like-minded countries and organize your own format?

We can somehow manage without the pseudo-Olympic games, but we cannot do without a healthy national sport.

    If our athletes compete under the white flag of WADA, I will simply stop watching this disgrace, I see that some of our sports celebrities have caved in under this organization and under the Americans too ... They completely forgot about their country and look more into their pockets. World sports as we knew under the USSR is dying before our eyes, turning into a similar economy of the Anglo-Saxons ...

      World sports as we knew under the USSR is dying before our eyes
      HE died a long time ago, and now it just stinks. As for not looking, I didn't, but what the fuck is it?
      Our athletes have long been not ours, but global, so to speak, and their homeland is not the Russian Federation, but a wallet, preferably stuffed tight.
      After the American disgrace in Salt Lake City, when they simply insolently began to reward themselves with the SECOND sets of gold medals, it became clear that world sports had died. Even then, our functionaries had to think about whether it was necessary to continue to participate in this farce? But no, we have the same functionaries from sports are tightly on dollar doping. But even then it was necessary to think about the creation of some kind of parallel and independent of the Amerzos Olympic movement. Yes, even if we competed there only with athletes from the DPRK, Iran and Syria, well, maybe also the PRC, so what? Slowly, little by little, everyone else would have begun to join. But it would be at least some kind of alternative to the shame that the United States has turned world sports and the Olympic movement. Here, as they say, whoever pays for a girl dances her. So the Amerzos will not see doping in their broilers point-blank, but they will even consider what they did not have in their rivals. And if they do not consider it, they will introduce another delusional ban on anything. The same notorious meldonium. Well, not meldonium will say that we run in the wrong sneakers, we must run in sneakers, and their athletes will be given sneakers with a propeller.
      To be honest, looking at this shame is disgusting and disgusting, so the second Olympic Games are already flying past me. And athletes, it's not about sports, it's just about grandmothers, so there is no patriotism, but a purely mercantile business. And all these shouts that it is necessary to go and defend Russia even under the WHITE flag, these are fairy tales about "patriotism" for suckers. They protect themselves there and their loved ones and their contracts, including advertising, and these are grandmothers and very big.
      So there is nothing for our athletes to take offense at the harassment from WADA, you yourself rush there for the money, well, don't cry when the owners beat you on the hands and point out your place in the queue to the trough.

        1.They themselves accepted Western rules, moved away from mass sports to elite ones.
        2. For an athlete - a millionaire, who should he play for, the main thing is the amount of the fee.
        3. Western corporations are the main sponsors of big tournaments.
        4. There is nothing for our raw material companies to pay for the activities of hockey players (they just watch how to hit the road to America or buy second-rate Finns / Swedes instead of young people) or football players there (the results are mediocre, and behave like the prima ballerinas of the Mariinsky Imperial Theater under a marathon).

      The image of a Soviet citizen was inextricably linked with sports. In the Soviet Union, health promotion was ingenious and extremely effective. Now they are also promoting a healthy lifestyle, but somehow sluggishly, not effectively. Plus, do not forget that Soviet athletes were more patriotic, not in words, but in deeds, in contrast to today's. As for WADA, the organization directly depends on the Americans and conducts its "sports" policy to please the United States.

        Plus, do not forget that Soviet athletes were more patriotic, not in words, but in deeds, unlike today.

        I have been familiar with sports for a long time both in the USSR and in the Russian Federation - and even many times I was a medalist and champion of Russia among veterans. Here's what I learned from this experience:
        1) And in the USSR, athletes were not always "patriotic" - the example of Protopopov and Belousova confirms this.
        2) Doping has been, is and will be - as in the whole world. When used reasonably and under the control of doctors, doping can preserve the health of an athlete. We have a monstrous spread of doping (more precisely, anabolic steroids) among amateurs - and this area is completely out of control. Only professionals are held by the gills. And it would be necessary to especially focus on children and women, and not on the pros. An amateur will do without "vitamins", for women and children they are really dangerous, but the pros would be dying without them. In addition, high-performance sports are harmful even without anabolic steroids, and a person who runs the risk of becoming disabled from sports has the right to decide what to swallow or inject. The state does not prevent a person from working in a mine or in hazardous production - so why does it interfere in matters of pharmaceutical support?
        3) A person who is caught on, say, testosterone esters, will not "tie", but switch to something that is not detected: say, insulin or / and growth hormone. And this is much more dangerous. Is it worth provoking an athlete to this?
        Summary: the issues of doping are very acute and do not have an unambiguous solution. They are highly politicized. It is necessary to distinguish between the problems of doping in professional, on the one hand, and amateur (especially women's and children's) sports.
        I once jotted down notes about modern sports and doping. Anyone interested in this topic? I can send it in a personal or suggest for publication on the "Military Review".

          And you first work in hazardous production! People work there, because so far they have not been able to automate everything. And the state, by the way, forces the employer to either eliminate the harmfulness altogether, or reduce it to an acceptable level with compensation for harm to the health of workers. In general, it became uninteresting to watch sports, because there is a competition between pharmaceutical companies, and not athletes. It's like comparing Soviet Doctor's sausage with a modern "product".

Everything is the same as it was more than forty years ago when I started working. Somewhere a little better, somewhere it got worse.

    Was there a lot of good things in this very international sport?
    Yes nifiga good is gone. Loot drives. Now there are only two ways - either to allow everyone to openly take doping and really get fucked up by how chess players jump 37 meters wide; or to disperse everything and everyone to hell, and on the rubble to re-create everything from scratch, from an amateur level, not allowing the Williams brothers (tennis) or any muzhebab (athletics) to compete. The results, of course, will be completely different, but from the very beginning the revival of the Olympic movement was conceived as promoting a healthy lifestyle. And in today's sport of the highest achievements from a healthy lifestyle, not even a hint has remained.
    By the way, you can combine both options, when some competitions will be held for normal athletes, and others - such as the MONSTERS tournament. Something like a thrash show.

      World sports under the American yoke

      There was no need to ruin Russian science. American diktat in sports is based on the scientific and technological superiority of the United States in the field of sports pharmaceuticals. The Russian Papuans from the sports bureaucracy cannot oppose this at all, and therefore they ruined Russian sports. COVID is also technological superiority (signs of biological weapons) and the pandemic looks like a large-scale test of it. It will only get worse. Salvation lies only in science and its priority over the economy of financial speculators and oil ciliates.

        First, the benefits of anabolic steroids are not at all as great as people think. In the 100 meter race, 10,0 was achieved before the anabolic era; Jesse Owens jumped 8 meters in length back in 1935. But since then, elastic treadmills, light spikes have appeared, pole vaulters have changed from bamboo poles to fiberglass and then to carbon fiber. Even in the barbell, progress was associated with improved technique: rigid barbell bars were replaced by elastic ones. Finally, the technique of performing the exercises was improved: weightlifters switched from a squat "to scissors" to a more effective "split", high jumpers changed "scissors" to "wave", then "roll" and "cross-over" and, finally, began to jump "with their backs ". The methods of training, methods of recovery, selection of the most talented were improved. And progress in results (relatively small) is associated with the above, and not with pharmacology.
        Anabolics provide a very small advantage, but it allows you to become a winner and break the bank. To believe that there are "chemical monsters" is fundamentally wrong. In any case, the decisive condition is talent and hard work. And people are amazingly talented. I knew a girl who was not at all like a monster, who squatted with a barbell under 300 kg with her own weight of 68 kg - and I knew men - "chemists" with a weight of over a hundred who could barely cope with two hundred kilograms. But this girl had good coaches, good genetics and good brains.
        And anabolics - well, in the United States, a huge number of men after 50 years of age receive steroid hormones for medical reasons - with the formulation "to improve the quality of life." And they have higher intelligence, better joint health, longer strength. Therefore, anabolic steroids are not an absolute evil, but, like everything else, should be used wisely, as needed and under medical supervision.
        I note that there are also sports in which no doping is needed: why do high jumpers need doping? They are almost never caught on it. He is not needed by skaters and in general wherever filigree coordination, flexibility and precise technique are at the forefront. Perhaps the most "anabolic" sport is bodybuilding, but, in my opinion, it is not a sport at all, but the cultivation of a meat breed of people devoid of flexibility, endurance and clumsy, for whom it is most important to indulge their own daffodils complex. But bodybuilding is not on the Olympic program.
        And about the Americans: no, they do not dominate world sports. They dominate the dictates of their terms. And in arenas, they quickly deflate, as soon as someone bypasses them. Once they were the best weightlifters and high jumpers in the world - but as soon as our leaders appeared there, the striped ones disappeared forever.

      It will not work to combine. The mass fan will go to a more spectacular monster tournament. And where the viewer is, there is money. As a result, the right sport, in contrast to the unlimited, will not pay for itself and wither away from lack of money without external financial support. At best, it will become a humble amateur hobby for body and soul.

          A very controversial statement. During these times, the countries of victorious socialism demonstrated very decent results at the same Olympic Games. But their armies, taken separately, were very so-so. So it’s not about the military power of the state. It's just that in the socialist system, sports training was really accessible to all, and the great coaches had a place to select great talents from. Now there are no big coaches, no publicly available sports training system. But there are vigorous bonby and other wunderwales, which allows our leaders to talk about the military power of the state. Well, the power is there, of course. Only now everything else is going to hell. And when it rolls down completely, then naturally the power will disappear, because it will not have something to base on. And then, honestly looking into our eyes and spreading our arms to the side, the big uncles will tell us: "Well, they didn’t shmogli. But we still tried. We ask you to be understanding."

      Sport, now business and nothing personal.

      Well, in Russia, I would call it more accurately - not business, but theft. The main money for sports is stolen for the construction of sports complexes that no one needs, that is, money is poured into concrete. This is theft under the guise of a construction business. And money for sports should first of all go to salaries for coaches, athletes and sports doctors.

      During these times, the countries of victorious socialism demonstrated very decent results at the same Olympic Games. But their armies, taken separately, were very so-so.

      Why should they be considered separately? This is manipulation and distortion. It is correct to regard the armies of the countries of victorious socialism as a single fist. A powerful military fist and, accordingly, a powerful victorious sport. And now Russian sport is a demonstration of helpless snot.

        But because here (your words, bold - mine):
        Elite sport is, first of all, an indicator of military power state
        After all, it is about the state (singular number), and not about some kind of "fist of countries", isn't it?

        Well, in Russia, I would call it more accurately - not business, but theft.

        Does this mean that sports are everywhere, but in Russia there is theft? Which one will you be? And in general, what do you have to do with the functioning of sport as an institution? How much do you know about the allocation of finance for sports and their development? Painfully you are categorical. If all the money is given to coaches, athletes and doctors, and not to build modern buildings and facilities for sports, then where do these coaches and athletes do? To kick everyone over the hill, let the sports economy be raised there? Do not fall into insanity. We need everything, coaches, athletes, stadiums and sports facilities. And what is even more important is the development and promotion of domestic sports. So that domestic championships and sports days are popular, spectacular and attractive. And of course, athletes participating in competitions must be healthy and without "chemistry". And it is time to shift the financial focus from high-performance sports to mass sports. Sports complexes should be in every settlement, small town. It is necessary to create conditions so that playing sports (amateur, in the free time from the main activity) becomes simply beneficial to the population and even prestigious. In short, we need a new strategy for the development of sports in the country.

There is one ready and already working, there is another one in the plans for the future, for which a land plot is being drawn up. There is a large facility built by a "large" enterprise (with state participation). This works in our country. No need to shed tears, we must do the job.

                    It is clear that you do not "float" in terminology. In my commentary I spoke about the settlement, this is a settlement. There are rural settlements, there are urban settlements. So the mosquito and the mouse have a common feature, they are animals. And if a full-size sports palace is not built in the village, then facilities of a smaller format are quite possible. Once they showed how one "dreamer" converted a former farm into an indoor skating rink. And even the village children, who, as you say, have enough sports on the farm, play hockey there with pleasure.

    Good afternoon everyone. There is no pure sport for a long time. Sport is now a competition between pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers of sports equipment, advertising. Business and nothing personal. Everything is clear about the Norwegian Asmat skiers. The United States openly accepts doping and forces everyone to admit that they are clean. And now, according to the new law in the United States, they said that our athletes should not be touched, even if they are doped, they are clean. But if anyone else gets caught, we must arrest him in the States, and try there. Those. The USA says that our athletes must always win, and if anyone else, it is dishonest, doping.
    Rodchenkov has been bought and there is no evidence of mass doping in Sochi 2014. Just talk.
    I admit that the officials in Sochi 2014 cheated in front of Moscow to show their excellent work. They say we organized a good Olympics, give us medals and money. So it has always been that way. The leadership gives the task, but how it is carried out is another question.
    The fact that the United States is pulling the blanket over itself is clear. I believe that it is necessary to tell Europe that any attempt to detain our citizens on charges in the United States is prohibited, otherwise there will be serious sanctions with the detention of politicians from Europe, the severance of relations, the lack of discounts on Gas, etc.

      ... where do these coaches and athletes go to work?

      Over the 70 years of Soviet power, so many have been built in Russia that there is no problem finding dozens of empty buildings in every city. A simple renovation and here's a sports facility. Why on earth would you need to shove billions into huge new concrete boxes? The point is that the allocation of billions for embezzlement must be somehow justified. So they puff their brains with the construction of expensive "sports complexes". And the more expensive, the more money is cut. And coaches, athletes and sports doctors live like beggars. No need to keep people for fools. Budget money for sports should be invested in people, not concrete. In Soviet times, there were sports hockey rinks and football fields in every courtyard. And it was worth it - a penny. But the sport was really massive and there were more gold medals at the Olympics. Nowadays, the laws of investment efficiency are applied to sports, which supposedly should justify themselves. The generally recognized effective investment today is only in real estate. Hence the throwing money into concrete under the guise of spending on sports. Profanation. Crooks and sports today have turned into a feeding trough for real estate tycoons. And athletes and competitions are just a cover for huge financial scams with sports real estate.

"Stimulating the activity of military personnel" is a surprisingly strange formulation. The behavior of the human body under conditions of supercritical loads, without the need to preserve health and life after the use of pharmaceutical support. And with the preservation of partial health and some years of life. Etc. It will be more correct. Sport provides a wonderful platform to work with all of this.
              And yes, the USSR also conducted research, well, it must be the same ... The USSR had such special forces, combat swimmers, etc. etc., which is nice to remember. These people used a whole bunch of various drugs, doctors of appropriate qualifications worked with them on an ongoing basis. And those drugs were mostly tested not on them (it is very expensive to spend such guys on experiments) but on athletes.
              And now, apparently, with the appearance of Phelps-type cadavers, the United States considers it necessary to stop explicit research of this type in "sport", and in general, to concentrate all power in it in its own hands. God be with them ...

      A football field is a complex technical structure even in Soviet times, not that in every yard, in the entire USSR, one could count on one hand!

      You're cheating. In cities, almost every Soviet school had its own stadium with treadmills, a sand pit for long jump and a football field. And when doing mass physical education and sports, making a football field is as easy as shelling pears: find a decent-sized lawn and put two school bags (gates) at opposite ends. So the football field is ready. It was on such lawns, and not on "complex technical structures" that the sports generations of the USSR grew up in thousands.
