Athletistic / Others. Olympic speed skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Svetlana Zhurova, spoke about the doping scandal in Norway.

Earlier it was reported that athletes between the ages of 15 and 18 were not being tested in the country without being informed of an officer’s visit. Indeed, Norwegian law prohibits testing of children between the ages of 15 and 18 without parental consent.

It has been reported that because of this, Norway could be banned from hosting major tournaments and the country’s athletes could be suspended from the Olympics.

“If there is no investigation, it will be strange. Since there is a general discussion, I would like to see if the anti-doping agency of Great Britain and America will behave in the same way as in our case. If WADA doesn’t say a word to Norway now, then it’s not a fight against doping, but still, as we said, politics. The anti-doping agencies should say that “This is a major violation. It’s very interesting to see how they will react.”

NRK: Norway could be banned from the Olympics for doping

Punishment? We have to look at the whole. Because we were one of the reproaches of this order. But this has not been proven. The following thing surprises me in this story: the Norwegians did not pass the law yesterday. How long has this law been in place? In other words, how many years have children of this age not been tested. It can be assumed that a number of children are part of teams in different sports. I don’t think Norway will be banned from the Olympics. I think they will notice. Maybe someone knew that one of the kids was constantly doping and beating their child and not being tested. As a result, such anger has been building up in the country and someone has started reporting this situation.

Norway is one of the best in a number of sports. Without them, it will not be interesting to watch the competition. But everyone still has doubts about why they work so phenomenally. Is everything clean there? If there are facts, you have to react”, quotes Zhurova “Championship”.
