Mid-January is definitely the world anti-doping agency WADA about a renewed suspension of Russian antidopingbureau Rusada. The international pressure to which sanction to impose rises after the Rusada, the conditions violated the suspension in september last year to eliminate it. “The ball is now in the camp of president Putin,” says Peter Van Eenoo, head of the Ghent dopingcontrolelab.
no fewer than sixteen national antidopingagentschappen spoke today of their support of the WADA to the Rusada re-suspend, which Russian athletes run the risk of not to be able to participate in international sporting events. The United States, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore and Sweden find it unacceptable that the WADA last month during a visit to the dopinglaboratorium in Moscow no inspection received in the data of doping tests from Russian athletes. This violated Russia is an express condition to the suspension, which in 2015 imposed after evidence of state driven doping in the Olympics of Sochi 2014 last year to eliminate it. The deadline for submitting the data from the lab in Moscow to release ran on december 31, 2018.
Belgium does not belong to the sixteen countries covered by WADA to plead Russia to re-suspend. In our country belongs to the anti-doping to the communities. “It is hard to be suddenly on the Rusada to take a stand, because that is actually a political decision that the government must bear,” says Peter Van Eenoo of the DoCoLab the university of Ghent. He expects, however, that Russia in mid-January yet steps to the prerequisite, and see the Russian president himself personally moeien. “The ball is now in the camp of Putin”, leads Van Eenoo from the cry for help of Rusadadirecteur Yuri Ganoes after the WADA visit to the lab in Moscow. “He has an open letter directly to the president directed, said that Rusada is impeded was to get the data to transfer, that for Russia a new suspension threatens and Putin as a president should act. So a call is unprecedented for Russia. The Kremlin has also responded that the Rusada does not have all the details, and they behind the scenes are busy in order. So We have to wait and see.”
According to Van Eenoo will the WADA do not frivolous about a suspension judge. “Personally, I have the impression that the new director of the Rusada is doing his best, and in the right direction with the anti-doping in Russia. The corruption took place in Sochi 2014, soon we will be in Tokyo 2020, that is, six years after the date. Meanwhile, Russia has through private organizations under the supervision of the new Russian anti-doping agency controls can do, and we’re left with a whole new generation of athletes. Are you going to athletes are not allow on the basis of a historic past, where they have nothing to do with it? But it remains true that Russia must comply with the requirements of the WADA, and there are consequences to hanging as the country does not.”
