Double Olympic champion Dmitry Vasiliev in a conversation with did not rule out that Johannes Be and other Norwegian biathletes often win through the legal use of illegal drugs.
Five-time Olympic champion Boe set the record for most race wins in a season on Thursday. He became the best in the sprint race at the Holmenkollen World Cup, which was his 17th victory this season. The Norwegian broke his own record set in the 2018/19 season by winning 16 races.
– A new Boe record? There is no doubt that he has talent. But the fact that the Norwegian team and, I don’t exclude, Boe himself legally uses illegal drugs as therapeutic exceptions… All his victories then stabilize and become insignificant. I believe that the time will come when we will find out on which drugs they won all their medals.
Many skeptics say: this is how I talk about Norwegian biathletes. But in fact, everything is very simple here: for victory to be liquid, real, you have to win on equal terms. And now there are no equal conditions. Now, due to some mythical disease, athletes are allowed to use a huge amount of illegal drugs.
But if the Norwegians are really so talented, if they know the methods by which one can train, then why the great and terrible Bjoerndalen, knowing all the methods of the Norwegians, could not train a single athlete in the Chinese team? And it is in these excellent conditions that the Chinese team provided. I’m not even talking about the fight for medals, but none of his athletes helped get into the top ten. He chose them himself, trained them himself, prepared them for departures. So it’s not just the methods that are important. Haven’t there been five truly gifted athletes in a country of one and a half billion people? It’s impossible. Yes, and more the so-called Norwegian methods. I don’t see any results. That is, this in itself refutes the view that Norwegians are the most talented and know secret techniques. Their most important technique is the legal use of illegal drugs, Vasiliev told .
