And again about the doping scandal: sport as an element of anti-Russian propaganda

Before you sort the countries by the percentage of positive doping samples (according to WADA):

And again about the doping scandal: sport as an element of anti-Russian propaganda


Yes, yes, part of the Russian national team was dismissed for less than 1% positive samples. National teams with higher rates quietly continue to participate in competitions on general terms.

And these 0,91% Western sports organizations and the media, and with them our “liberal” bloggers and “free-thinking” Internet communities, are called “total doping use” and are trying to present the only reason for Russia's victory at the Sochi Olympics and sufficient grounds for exclusion. from future competitions, trying to devalue the honest work of hundreds of our athletes.

They are happy to use the opportunity to justify the unexpected sporting triumph of Russia on OI-2014, creating a template for the Russian athlete as a fraudster, able to win only under the influence of prohibited drugs.

In pursuit of ratings and likes (and therefore profit), numerous entertaining communities gladly pick up pictures about “Russian crooks”, voluntarily or involuntarily becoming one more gear in the propaganda machine mechanism and spreading the cliches acceptable to it among a wide audience.

examples:



It is noteworthy that many users who usually flaunt their "critical thinking" without any extra questions "hawk" content and actively like and repost new "memchiki", in fact swallowing an insult to their own country (and, therefore, to themselves), and even experiencing pleasure from it. Alas, not everyone is trying to really understand the situation.

We are witnessing how sport, as if during the Cold War, is becoming another element of political and informational confrontation. But now we have no mechanisms capable of effectively resisting it. Any rebuttal always remains in the shadow of the original informational stuffing. Despite the presence of clear evidence to the contrary, the stereotype about the dishonesty of the Russian sport will linger in the public consciousness for a long time.

      It's time, loudly slamming the door, to leave "these dances to someone else's tune." We need powerful informational work, designed primarily for our citizens, so that there is no doubt within the country that the truth belongs to Russia. And abroad, in any case, all possible and not possible sins are hung on Russia. Even if we present irrefutable evidence of our correctness, they will immediately be declared a lie. Why are our athletes, leaders, and the whole country now suffering humiliation from some pitiful sports officials from across the hill? For some of our athletes to go to this "Olympics" and still take a few medals under the whistle and condemnation. And they will immediately (or a little later) "discover" doping and raise another anti-Russian wave of accusations. You need to have national pride, which is more valuable than any awards.

        When I was 10, I read a book. I don’t remember the title of the book, nor the author, I don’t know if it’s true. But, the feat, the courage of a simple Mexican youth remained in my memory. "Boy for a beat", "pear" in training took part in the professional boxing championship. And he won, despite the cheating of the arbiters and the meanness of the enemy. He fought for a prize - for money that could buy weapons for the Mexican revolution.
        I don’t know what would be done in the national team. By my nature, I would rather refuse to participate.
        An article proving that the scandal surrounding our team has nothing to do with sports. And the minister’s criminal inaction.
        PS "MOSCOW, July 27 - RIA Novosti. The situation with Russian athletes has gone beyond the legal framework and common sense, short-sighted politicians do not leave sports alone, said Russian President Vladimir Putin."

          The only Russian athlete to travel to Rio de Janeiro was the long jumper Daria Klishina. She took doping tests in the USA.
          250 Russian athletes are allowed to participate in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro by international sports federations. This was stated by the head of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Alexander Zhukov on the air of the Russia-24 television channel.

          It did not work to grab the tail completely, cut it into pieces.
          It was six months to adequately answer. It was possible to prepare and conduct a public opinion poll, a referendum, in the end, on the subject of participation or boycott of this event, which is doubtful for our state, and not to give everything to sports functionaries who showed their complete failure in a critical situation.
          It would be better if they donated considerable sponsorship contributions to charity and the development of healthy children's sports within the country, and did not throw them away at this Olympiad, which had long ceased to be a symbol of a healthy lifestyle, turning into another lever of pressure on those who were objectionable.
          The next step will be the Paralympics, and then the World Cup on the way.

        Doping test is not just "looked in and said", but a complex of complex tests using different devices and special, comp. programs that analyze the composition of urine (blood in controversial situations) for the presence / combination of CERTAIN ACTIVE SUBSTANCES.
        Samples are taken by ALL athletes registered in the federations (including national).

      Than "pricked"?
      Typically, the number of drugs administered "through a syringe" is small compared to those taken orally, nasally, or in the form of inhalers. And almost all of them have been FORBIDDEN for a long time.
      The point is the cost.
      For example, an analogue of mildronate - trimetazidine (sold at each pharmacy and is 3 times cheaper) was included in the banned list 2 years earlier. Including for its ANTIHYPSE action. Simply put, it helps the muscles absorb more oxygen. And there were no problems with him this year.
      Meldonium was used because of its ACCESSIBILITY for the price. What it has an effect on the majority of myocardium, so it turned a blind eye.
      The same effect, only through a more complex biochemistry, is exerted by the so-called "L-carnitine". But it differs in quality and therefore in price, you can buy it from any seller selling sports. farm. The prices are much higher than those of meldonium.
      That’s why they are eating it in batches (powder) mainly by those athletes who can afford it in finances.
      It is not prohibited - otherwise sales from farm companies will fall.

        By the way, I would like to note that WADA began to deal with the issue of meldonium (mildranat) 2 (!) Years before it was recognized as doping. And our bureaucrats from sports and from RUSADA all these two years valiantly clapped their ears. Indeed, history repeats itself as a farce. A very similar thing happened before the 80 Olympics, when the Scientific Research Institute of Physical Culture in St. Petersburg was responsible for anti-doping control on the part of the USSR, and when the "super-authoritative" professor Werner Donike from the Federal Republic of Germany and his colleagues lightly let our people along the dead-end branch.

          Not quite so. For MILDRONAT took in the 15th year. When the statistics were ready. Who and where is taking this drug. When it turned out that it was mainly eastern Europe (read Russia), then you timed this boil in time for the OI. Very well used.
          An analogue of mildronate, which, like Mildronate itself, is widely attributed to CARDIOLOGISTS throughout the country to people experiencing not only stress, but also after heart surgery and even to CHILDREN as a SUPPORTING drug, trimetazidine was added to the list just because of its action as allowing to increase the amount of digestible oxygen. Maybe this is correct, but when Norwegian asthmatics bring medical certificates and get their aerosols filled almost before the start to OPEN, then how to explain it ...

            In 2015, he was declared doping. Just before the New Year. Considering that after the New Year, the whole country celebrates the Finnish national holiday "Pokhmeläinen" for two more weeks. And officials of all stripes as well. I wrote that they started to DO it 2 years before being recognized as doping. Not a single drug can be taken just like that and declared doping or a prohibited substance in five minutes. Fetisov, in particular, wrote about this. As for Mildronate, I am aware of it, it is actually still available without a prescription in pharmacies.
            Yeah. The number of asthmatics among skiers and biathletes has always amused me too. Cold asthma, damn it ... I wonder (I have not looked), salbutamol or "Atrovent" are doping?

              if the standard allowed dosage of Salbutamol spray is 100mcg / dose (note that Salbutamol is only approved for inhalation use), then it is not difficult to calculate that the smallest and largest limit of breaths will be from 1 to 16 breaths per day. But it is NOT advised to exceed 10-12 breaths a day, especially if an analogue is used - "Turbuhaler" Just on it "cyclists" sit - cyclists, rowers, marathoners, skiers, etc., then the absorption of the drug increases significantly, and accordingly the dose of Salbutamol is therefore NOT prohibited, but only advised of the smallest limit of breaths.
              This is what norgs use (and not only) ...

              Atrovent is not a prohibited drug.

Still, mathematics is a powerful thing and gives an understanding of many processes. From why you take out a loan at 70% in a bank and why then refinance at 730% in microfinance, the level of confidence in this science should probably increase.

      You are either a very naive person, or let's talk about the good. Our athletes are traditionally strong in certain sports and they hit them hard. The fact that the rest will go and take, God forbid, a place in the top five - this will certainly greatly "please" everyone, and the liberal and foreign media will add another stereotype that Russians are playing dishonestly and are nothing without doping.
      Our sporting officials didn’t reach a compromise — they liquidated themselves at all, agreeing with such a decision because this is a precedent. Having felt the slack, now for any kind of sport in competitions, the same provocations are possible from any independent structures paid by Uncle Sam. The investigation itself because of someone’s documentary without evidence was initially a farce, and ours agreed and accepted.

But he must be honest for all Olympians, and not a means of knocking out competitors.

    The states allow their analogues of meldronium by prohibiting the invention of a Soviet scientist of Latvian origin. At this, pharmaceutical businessmen from sports make billions of dollars.

    If Russian officials immediately after the first attempts at pressure on the Russian Federation began to put pressure on Western athletes and federations involved in doping and fraud in terms of doping and violation of generally accepted rules, after small scandals, everything would quickly calm down and the situation would most likely turn into a non-peace situation - not war. Both sides would hold each other's balls and to such chaos no one would dare to fall, even in the current situation.
