Member of the Board of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) and President of the Udmurt Biathlon Federation Ivan Cherezov believes that the elimination of Norway due to a doping scandal will lead to the collapse of world biathlon and sport in general.
Earlier, it was learned that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) may deprive the National Anti-Doping Committee of compliance status and impose sanctions on athletes due to a legal hurdle that does not allow doping tests of elderly athletes. 15 to 18 years old without parental consent. .
For two years, while the relevant law is in force, none of the underage Norwegian athletes took doping tests without prior warning about the visit of the anti-doping department.
— The main thing is that all countries are equal before the law and that there are no exceptions for anyone. But if we assume that Norway will be withdrawn from international competitions, it will be a collapse for biathlon and the whole sport. Russia and Norway are one of the leading countries in our form, and without their participation it could lead to a disaster for sport on the international stage,” Cherezov said as quoted by RBC Sport.
