The Olympic Games in Japan next year can be without the Russian flag. The judgment fell on Monday from The International anti-doping agency.
Anyway, we can easily come to see Russian top athletes win lots of medals, though their country has just been excluded.
that was How it was in Brazil, and it will be the probably also in Tokyo.
It sounds crazy, and it is also. The judgment, immediately shall be regarded as hard and a final showdown with the Russian statsdoping, is filled with exceptions and loopholes, so it can easily be a blow in the air. Even a walk.
Dopingmyndighederne have the best of intentions and want to crack down, while many politicians and pampere, that is, in the great olympic circus, would rather have the big countries, and thus the feasibility of a larger commercial arrangement.
For athletes all over the world – including Danish – is it an insult to their talent, professionalism and tenacity.
The latest many years the russians have pumped their athletes with doping at the state’s expense in a system that did it, no matter how hard all the other athletes trained.
They would be overtaken by the russians who cheated.
The new ruling can be appealed within 21 days – it will be the. The athletes who have trained outside of Russia, according to the judgment, nevertheless participate in the OLYMPICS, only they do not participate under a Russian flag. Such was the last, and it was a kæmpefarce. It will be the case again.
The Russian statsdoping was unveiled in 2014 by the German television company ARD. Since the russians were invited to participate in a cleanup and change of their policy. It did not do that. On the contrary, cheated even more.
Unfortunately for them, it was discovered, and, therefore, fell on Monday, even a judgment.
President Putin will be the next four years look far for major sports events on Russian soil, but the ruling is also filled with giant holes. What is a major athletic event? The upcoming european football championship, where Denmark will meet Russia, for example, is not a major athletic event, and already this is the idiocy at a high level.
the Prohibition of sports events in Russia can only be prohibited if ‘it is practically and legally possible’, reads the judgment. Already here it contains the text for a hole the size of a Russian sports facility.
the Verdict was also criticized by the members, who was to deliver it. They wanted a much tougher line.
the Sport organisations are required to take the gloves off and hitting the russians where it really hurts. Their national pride, which has created dopingmonstret, must also suffer now. Therefore, should the judgment be considerably tougher and lead to total exclusion.
It will be the only appropriate and fair to do. First and foremost to the athletes that right now are preparing for the upcoming competitions. They need to know that they are fighting against other people and not medicinmonstre. And not least to the spectators, who after all, pay for the whole show.
Bother we have to see the sport, where the battle is not clean and fair?
Nope to dope.
