Athletistic/Athletics. The 2015 world champion in the 110 meters hurdles, Sergei Shubenkov, 33, spoke about the conflict between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Earlier, USADA chief Travis Tygart accused WADA and the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) of hiding information about the swimmers’ case.

“In the United States, doping control is completely different. They have their own association, the athletes use a different application instead of ADAMS (Doping Control System) which is used in the rest of the world. They also have different rules for filing applications for the use of prohibited drugs for medical purposes. As a result, the entire world lives by one anti-doping rule, and the United States by another. And yet Americans constantly display arrogance, without realizing that they are actually in a privileged position.

As for the conflict between WADA and USADA, I am reviewing it as a licensed attorney. There is a case, there are materials in it. All decisions must be made based on the facts contained in these documents, regardless of the status of the parties, their interests and their financial capabilities. But I would like to emphasize once again that America is in a privileged position when it comes to doping, even in WADA-controlled sports. It is not up to the Americans to teach the whole world how to fight doping,” Choubenkov said, as quoted by the TASS agency.

  • Shubenkov: “I believed that the Olympics united the world, made it better and that now all dreams could be thrown into the trash. »
