for Three years, it rejected the Russians. But they want to join in to Expose the systematic doping of fraud around the home games of 2014 in full in elite sport, you must meet requirements. The most important thing pending is the world Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) all the controls of the Moscow laboratories. All test results, from 2011 to 2015, kept the Russians in a data management system (Lims). This database is for the doping fighter, the key source of fraud can come to terms with the Big completely. On Monday, a Wada Team traveled to Moscow to receive the data. Here are the main questions and answers:
1. What is this Lims data?
a sample in a control laboratory, it is scanned whether any substances are present. Such be discovered, it will search for you specifically. The result is positive, it can result in a doping case. This process and the process must be documented by each laboratory, called the laboratory information system, Lims. On the basis of the database so each sample can be precisely traced.
2. Why are the Lims data in the case of Russia so important?
Wada has only parts of this database by a Whistleblower. You and the sports associations concerned were in a dispute about very vulnerable as soon as they wanted to lock eye-catching athletes. So far, Wada and sports federations had to prove, on the basis of circumstantial evidence of the fraud, what in many cases is difficult to impossible. The doping fighters, however, are in the possession of the Lims data, the indirect evidence, and the opportunity is even greater to win in case of a dispute.
3. The Russians had no way to manipulate the Lims data?
of Course. Finally, the Wada is now calling for a long time to inspect the database. The Russians had plenty of time this key information. The official says Russia, however, is to have the database in accordance with the Expose of the scandal and never touched sealed. Only: Can you believe Russia – after it was denied for years any systematic Dope?
4. How many Russians are likely to now be locked?
In the Lims are held 9000 test results. How many athletes are – some have been inspected several times – don’t know you yet. It is rumored that there are several Thousand. What is known: The Wada has transferred in December 2017 on the basis of the part played Lims data, approximately 300 cases of 60 sports associations. A small minority of these cases, only ended in the Lock.
Now hope that, on the basis of the original Lims data from hundreds to possibly even thousands of Russian athletes would be transferred, according to one Insider wrong. He is involved in many processes in several sports federations and says: “If, ultimately, 100 Russians will be blocked on the basis of the new findings, this is a high number.”
5. Russia has cheated never?
Probably not to the extent as many believe. It is undisputed: Russia dopte around the home games of Sochi in a systematic way. That, however, every Russian sports Federation and Top athletes were involved in this Scam, is wrong. Therefore, the expectations of many observers, are plated, the faith now, thanks to the Lims database, the major consequence of Clean.
the Correct is: It will come to cases, and Lock, but to a much lesser extent than hoped. Because the Lims database may contain the results of 9000 samples are collected but also a lot of Russian student athletes and athletes in the second to the third strength class.
All of these athletes fall from the world-class category. The Rest must, in turn, have not doped in corpore. Add to that: In some cases, athletes may have not known that you manipulated your results. Meanwhile, it is assumed that the masterminds of the fraud, replaced the urine of certain Russian athletes, although such athletes dopten never. But the swindlers acted according to the motto: better Safe than sorry, so we also exchange their urine.
6. What happened if Russia would refuse to surrender?
Would not back out of the country the information would have suspended the Russian Anti-Doping Agency. The Russian sports would be once again sidelined. Therefore, without cooperation, not a full return to the international elite sport.
7. How efficiently the Sport has worked in the case of Russia?
He has missed a huge opportunity to be a credible Player in the fight against Doping . Because he chose – primarily from the International Association of athletics federations, except to block a fatal strategy: Instead of the respective Russian Federation, he tried every single athlete the fraud to prove. But in the case of Russia, many athletes impossible. Accordingly, it is often the Russians choose in the dispute successfully to the courts – such as before the winter 2018 games.
