Double Olympic champion in biathlon Dmitry Vasiliev believes that Norway will not face any sanctions from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for violating the World Anti-Doping Code.
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.
This news shocked me. I thought that Russia, designated as the main villain in the field of doping, would remain so, but there was a failure. How many examples do we know? British athlete Mo Farah, whose coach admitted to doping, was suffocated. The story of Dr. Schmidt at the Cross-Country World Championships – everything is overgrown with weeds. (Marit) Bjorgen admitted she had doping issues, but no sanctions followed.
In the case of the Norwegians, it will just shake the air and that’s it. I’m sure there won’t be a sequel to this story.
I am the director of the sports school of the Olympic reserve, I have 4 thousand children. I know all the subjects very well, we conduct prevention and propaganda courses in this area. Doping is evil, and we must fight it together, and not to name the main villain, but to cover ourselves.
The Norwegians are the sickest athletes in the world, but they have beaten the healthiest, winning all the medals. This cannot be tolerated, it must be stopped. The work is carried out very seriously, painstakingly, and it is not without success, ”Vasiliev said on the air of the show“ There is a theme! on MatchTV.
