World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) must understand situation with Norway, says three-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina .
Earlier, Norwegian sports officials expressed concern about possible global sanctions against their athletes and federations due to the legal barrier that does not allow doping tests of young athletes according to the WADA code. Nils Einar Martin Os, general secretary of the Norwegian Sports Confederation (NIF), explained that WADA’s sanctions could include both fines and disqualification from hosting major international competitions. And in the future – a ban on participation in major tournaments.
– Can they be deleted? Wait and watch. I am not very aware of the rules that exist. For example, we have a well-established youth sports system. I worked in America and it’s not the age at all, but the problem is the skill level.
Norway’s reputation for doping? It’s gossip. Let WADA sort it out,” Rodnina told .
