Bøs statements come after it earlier in the week it became known that the World’s antidopingbyrå (WADA) chose to keep Russia as medlemsnasjon and does not charge the russians sanctions now. It happens despite the fact that the russians broke the deadline in order to give The experts full access to the much-talked antidopinglaboratoriet in Moscow in the end of the year. the
instead, it ended with that The experts had extracted data in the previous week, after the Russian antidopingmyndigheter was put under heavy pressure.
do not Forget
Bø think it is good that Russia now has had to give WADA access to dopingprøver and data, but he should wish that the World’s antidopingbyrå was more open about what actually takes place.

– I have to hope that the Russian federation has opened up a bit and will open up more, so that they actually have to stretch a little bit to be approved by WADA. I think the process is too little transparent. I wish it was more clear what is actually happening on the back of the store and what they talk about among themselves, ” says Bø to NTB and elaborates:
– We see the just what it says on the press. And it is not always so easy for us to relate to a headline in Dagbladet or VG. What really happens between WADA and Russia? There has to be some negotiations behind it. I think well maybe that WADA is a bit cowardly. I feel that they are trying to the trainers there (the Russia case) a bit, until it drops down on the priority list at the nyhetsdesken. But we athletes does not forget. I think we all should make sure that the case is located on the top until they have cleared up.
off The beaten
Stryningen asserts that the athletes receive little information, even if antidopingbyråene in fact should be present to protect the clean athletes.
– WADA will be there for us. There they must keep in mind. In my view, is the WADA where to combat cheating and doping and to protect clean athletes. And now I feel that it is the opposite, that they fit on the relationship (to Russia and other nations), politics and “friends of friends” more than in the clean athletes. They are more concerned of protecting their own interests. I think they are a little on the wild ways, ” says Bø.
Need to rely on the russians is pure
He and the other Norwegian skiskytterne competing against, among others, the Russian verdenscuptoeren Aleksandr Loginov, who was banned for doping for two years until november 2016.
Bø says he is just going to have to rely on the russians set on the starting in the world cup, is clean.
– We have it, and that is what we do. I get up every day and does me to that I are competing against only the clean athletes. At the same time happens the investigations here and there, and we note behind the ear. But when the starting signal goes, you need to forget about it. Otherwise can’t perform, ” says 30-year-old.
WADA has been given the opportunity to comment on the Bøs statements, but has not responded to NTBs inquiries.
