Olympic Champion and Medalist Snowboarder wild vic responded to World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) President Witold Banka’s proposal to recognize the code of organization in American college sports and professional leagues.
WADA believes the time is right to get the World Anti-Doping Code accepted by US colleges and professional sports, and has offered a roadmap to get that work started, Banka said. At the request of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), all Olympic sports must adopt a world anti-doping code. However, most professional sports leagues in the United States, as well as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), have not signed the WADA code. Since 2000, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has been monitoring illicit drug use in the United States.
“Why is everyone so concerned about what people are doing with their bodies? Who should care is the athletes themselves. All these organizations in the world are looking at you like the police. Although nobody needs them, nobody asks them to come. No one in my sport says, “Oh, we need WADA to do the testing. If one of my opponents wants to take steroids, then I’ll say, “Good luck, mate!” If you want to take steroids, I don’t care.” So many people stick their noses into things that are none of their business. Seems to me the AMA shouldn’t. They don’t really care about life people.
I had a blood test during the Olympic Games in China. I laughed, “What do you need? My blood? What do you think I was doing and how might that change my result? Steroids wouldn’t have helped me get on the pedestal.
Some are banned for taking something stupid like meldonium. Is there an effect of meldonium, thanks to which a person will earn gold or just a medal? Of course not. There is no effect. In my sport, 99% of wins and losses are in the brain. I win or I don’t lose because I took 5 milligrams of something or I can run a hundred meters faster in three seconds. It all depends on the decisions in my head,” Wilde told .
At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Wild won bronze in the parallel giant slalom. After the end of the Games, he announced his intention to end his career. In April he announced that he did not want to work for the Russian Snowboard Federation.
Wild is 35 years old and originally from the United States. In May 2012, the athlete received a passport as a citizen of the Russian Federation, and after that he began to play for the Russian national team. At the Sochi Games in 2014, the snowboarder won gold in parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom.
