Two-time Olympic Biathlon Champion Olga Zaitsev received accusations of prohibited substances. According to Sport Express, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspects a Russian manipulation of doping tests during the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi - 2014.
In the course of the recheck of all doping tests of domestic athletes from that Olympiad, the IOC experts noticed on test tubes with Zaitsev's tests suspicious scratches.
Previously, due to these microcracks, two other participants of Russia's relay team - Biathletes Olga Vilukhin and Yana Romanova were included in the list of suspects.
The former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, and now - the influence of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) informator (WADA), Gregory Rodchenkov, said that such scratches suggest that test tubes opened to replace a positive doping test for negative.
Based on the words of Chemik, the IOC has already managed to diminish the six Russian skiers - Alexander Lekova, Evgenia Belov, Alexey Petukhov, Maxim Smelzhanina, Evgeny Shapovalov and Yulia Ivanov, annuling their achievements in Sochi-2014. This led to the deprivation of the Russian national team of four medals.
Now our country risks losing another reward - silver for the biathlon dermaty.
This medal is the only one that Zaitseva won as part of the team at home games: two more Olympic gold for the relay and one silver for the mass start Russian woman won on two other Olympiads - in Turin and Vancouver. These rewards at biathletes are already unlikely to take away, but the Sochi medal was under a serious threat.
It is curious that earlier Zaitseva did not appear in any list of suspects and did not receive public claims from Roddenkov. And now, according to media information, biathlonist will have to be submitted to the MOK Commission under the leadership of Dennis Osvald, which is engaged in rechecking doping samples, handed over Russian athletes during games in Sochi. The meeting is scheduled for the end of November 2017.
Nevertheless, the President of the Union of Biathletes of Russia (SBR) Alexander Kravtsov hurried to disprove this unpleasant news.
"Information on scratches on the samples of the Zaitseva does not correspond to reality. In Lausanne, her business was not heard, the current proceedings concerns only two athletes - Olga Vilukhina and Yana Romanova, "the words of the official" R-Sport "leads.
Gazeta.Ru discussed the current situation with the former senior coach of the Russian women's national team in Biathlon Alexander Selifonov, who had previously trained athlete.
- The media appeared information about the fact that Zaitsev was accused of using doping during the games in Sochi ...
- Olga absolutely did not need some stimulation in order to show the results she reached.
She was so in good shape and always performed at a high level. It was only necessary to bring the Zaitsev to the competition correctly - she already gave the result, conquered the medals. True, during Sochi-2014 a guide to something missed (the athlete was able to achieve only silver in the relay. - "Gazeta.Ru"), but I was no longer on these games. Everyone then led the German coach Wolfgang Pychler.
In any case, Olga is one hundred percent net athlete. They did not accept anything forbidden.
- What do you think about the disqualification of our athletes because of scratches on test tubes?
- These scratches are some absurd. I believe that it is clean water order with a political background.
If the removal occurs only because of scratches, then you need to appeal to other instances. Only on this basis disqualify athletes - it is unrealistic. It is clear, Wada rests on the fact that in Russia there was supposedly a system of state support for doping, although it is clear that there was nothing.
- Will it affect the reputation of the Zaitsevaya, which has already completed his career?
- I do not think that this will change the attitude towards Olga, even if it is somehow recognized as guilty of doping. After all, it is really impossible, on the basis of what they do. I still do not understand why they pulled out our skiers - especially since life. This means that Wada has some good evidence. Or is it all only on the basis of the testimony of Rodchenkov, who himself had something invested and offered athletes?
Here either something silent, or we just want to remove the 2018 from the Olympics. Perhaps when the games are already held, the IOC will say: "Oh, we understood what was mistaken."
With other news and materials, you can find on the chronicles, as well as in the Sports Sports Department
And VG got access to the testimony of Gregory Rodchenkov. Some of them are just shocked.
Business Zaitseva
If you believe Rodchenkov, Zaitseva was closely familiar with the former Minister of Sports Russia Yuri Nagornny, who received the task to ensure success in Sochi at any cost.
Also, the biathlete was a special task for a woman who was responsible for the distribution of doping drugs, the heads of the medical and research programs of the NOC of Russia Irina Rodionova.
"We met several times and discussed individual athletes. In particular, the name of the Zaitseva was often mentioned, "stands in the document.
Zaitseva allegedly attended the meeting, when the abnormal indicators of her blood passport was discussed.
"The reason for this was the constant use of doping. She understood that this could threaten its participation in the games in Sochi, "- written in the document.
Zaitseva is described as an athlete from the "Diushes" list. It is indicated in detail how her pure urine was going to months before the games in Sochi so that it could be used later for the substitution.
Zaitsev was tested so often that at some point the stock of urine is almost dried.
Rodchenkov argues that Zaitseva used the cocktail "Diushes" and EPO.
Pichler
Wolfgang Pichler came to Russia so that the national line was a clean line. Therefore, most of the preparation took place in his native rupolding.
"I did everything that I could," says Pirler by Norwegian journalists, showing a laptop, in which all the data of athletes are preserved.
Each collection, every training, each race.
"Here she was in shape," he says, showing the peak on the curve.
In the sprint at the World Cup, Zaitsev showed good physical condition.
"But this is not an abnormal good form," he says splashing his hands. - I'll call her. I want to know the truth.
- What are you going to say?
- If she did it consciously, I will tell her what it means to do the right thing. If she did not know this and everything was done for her back, what to say then? Then I sorry her.
Back in mid-November, the Pichler was clean by the Zaitseva.
"Stasik"
"At that time, Russian athletes used the EPO form, which was difficult to detect. One of the main suppliers of the secret type of EPO for Olympians was Stanislav "Stasik" Dmitriev - Doping distributor, "says Rodchenkov in an email.
His version of the EPO was modified by removing the sialic acid, which made the detection of EPO almost impossible to relatively strict WADA criteria. But the number of athletes who received EPO from him quickly grew, which was reflected on the quality of the product. This led to serious consequences.
The news about Akhatov, Yurieva and Yaroshenko appeared in February 2009.
"The FSB tried to discredit the results, but unsuccessfully," says Rodchenkov.
In July 2009, skiers, Olympic champions Julia Chepalov and Yevgeny Dementiev were disqualified. Many others were able to avoid this fate due to the strict WADA requirements for EPO identification.

The Championship continues to consistently push a stone to the mountain - to translate for its readers the most iconic documents in the scandal with Russian Doping, which has been for three years. There were translations of the independent commission of WADA, two parts of the report of McLaren, testimony Grigory Roddenkov. For the final time, we did it with the solution of the IOC on the skier Alexander Lunga, replacing: this paper - tracing, following her, disqualify all suspected members of Sochi-2014. The logic of the IOC is clear, the outcome is inevitable.
Final paper. Actual! Armor!!! Complete solution of mok on the passenger
After reading it, you will understand that there is no hopes - the medals are taken away from all Russian heroes Sochi-2014. More precisely, everyone whom will want.
That is why we did not make any attempts to translate the remaining documents on Russian athletes - why? Everyone who wanted to read and draw conclusions based on the first decision.
But the verdict is Olga Zaitseva Surprised even us. Former head of the Russian anti-doping laboratory, for two years already located in the West, continued to dig in his memory and extract all new and new information from there. Trust her or not - the personal cause of every reasonable person with access to open sources. However, let's not deprive you pleasure ,. For seed - a few quotes, and then yourself.
But in the main thing he is right!
"Professor McLaren and his team conducted considerable work in very difficult conditions with a limited number of time. At the meeting of athletes tried to undermine this work on the grounds that it contained a certain number of errors and on the basis that some numbers or references were reported incorrectly and / or changed. However, thoroughly considered this issue, the disciplinary commission found that these data did not affect the overall value and accuracy of the evidence submitted by Professor McLaren in the reports and in EDP. "
Honest witness whom no one saw
"Professor McLaren held three long interviews with Dr. Rodchenkov, and he managed to cross the various statements by the former director of the Moscow Laboratory and the Sochi Laboratory with other elements he received. Thus, Professor McLaren is the best person to assess the reliability of what Dr. Rodchenkov influenced ... Disciplinary Commission would prefer to personally listen to Dr. Rodchenkov. However, this does not change the conviction that Dr. Rodchenkov is an honest witness and that his statements reflect reality and can be used as reliable evidence. "
What really spoke Rodchenkov Commission IOC. If he, of course, is still alive
The complete transcript of how Gregory Rodchenkov killed Russian sport. Black on white.
All biathletes used the cocktail "Diushesis"
"Rodchenkov further declares that the Russian biathlon team, including the Zaitsev athlete, used the Duchess cocktail in front of the Olympic Winter Games" Sochi 2014 ". He also provided an email sent in April 2013, which expressed concern about the high level of hemoglobin for the biathlon team, which was discovered by its laboratory ... In the fall of 2013, he took part in the discussion with the athlete Zaitseva at the Ministry of Sports in Moscow. During this meeting, abnormal blood pressure data related to its constant use of steroids was discussed.
Urine is no longer
"Rodchenkov especially recalls the destruction of numerous athlete's samples. Due to the intensity of the testing of Rodchenkov emphasizes that they almost exhausted the clean urine athlete. He remembers that the athlete Zaitseva provided three plastic bottles of clean urine for freezing and storage in the FSB and that additional urine has been added. "
Experiment of limited fitness
"With regard to the number of clicks made to close the bottles studied, Professor Shampo explained during the hearing, that with more clicks (more than 11) the opening of the bottle is more difficult, and this means that it will leave more T-tags and their identification is less complex. They should not be different. "
Reliable witness with contempt
"Considering Dr. Rodchenkov's reliable witness, the disciplinary commission wants to be extremely clear, confirming that in no way takes into account its past actions and its moral nature ... (At the same time), his actions as director of the Moscow laboratory are despicable and unforgivable."
Only facts. And there are a lot of them.
Zaitseva and Doping - two universes. In our national team could "fly" anyone, but not Olga. Erythropoietin found almost the whole team, but not her. Suspected a whole generation, but not her.
Zaitseva has always been against prohibited drugs. Even foreigners, nodding on Zaitsev, said: "Olga - the conscience of Russian biathlon."
And suddenly - it was Zaitseva in the black list of Roddenkov and McLaren. In their cocktails, salts and even scratches.
How could this happen? We understand.
Detect the Zaitsev in the code is easy: in the documents of McLaren opposite each athlete, a list of disciplines in which he participated in the 2014 Games is indicated.
Zaitseva is the only one in the women's biathlon team - all the races ran: four personal and both relay.
Zaitsevaya code - A 0983.
2. Maclaren concluded: Before the games in Sochi, the Most Sport was a list of athletes who, during the preparation, it was prescribed to use Cocktail Roddenkov (a mixture of anabolic steroids and alcohol, for men - whiskey, for women - Martini).
Steroids (Metenolon, Trenbolone and Oxandrolone) fell into the mouth mucous membrane after rinsing. So doping was absorbed into the blood faster, and the window of its detection decreased.
"Reports of McLaren contain enough evidence that there was a bank with the tests of clean urine of Russian Olympians, including the lighter. Although he (lightly) had to understand, in what purpose it could be used, because the bank was created unconventional. "
Maclaren described how Moscow's anti-doping laboratory collected urine into "non-medical containers" - for example, a bottle of cola.
In addition, the accusation believes that the athlete reported the sample code (in fact, the bottle number) for the substitution.
If everything was so, then the athlete in the eyes of the accusation becomes a full-fledged member of the CORP and receives a sentence.
Two Biathlon Olympic Champion Olga Zaitseva He received accusations from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in manipulations with doping tests during the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.
If they check all doping samples of Russian athletes, then let them check all athletes. Let them check the winners from all countries and from each Olympics. So it will be honest. And what is done now is dishonest, "said Zaitsevaimmediately after accusations to your address.
What happened?
Initially Zaitseva did not appear in the lists Grigory Roddenkov And she never received public accusations from him. However, in the process of total rechecking of all samples surrendered in Sochi by Russian athletes, the IOC experts were discovered on samples. Zaitseva scratch. According to the IOC, it may indicate that the samples opened and with them were manipulated to replace the "dirty" urine to "clean".
I read about myself such details from which the hair end up. They write, for example, that I was unavailable for comments, although nobody turned to me at all for any comments - there was not a single call. Such a feeling that I am intentionally trying to draw me in the information field with the publications on the scandalous topic, want me to start to resent and justify. And I have nothing to justify: for the entire professional career I had no dubious sample. Everyone always knew that I was fundamentally against any pharmacology. This, if you want, my life credo, - spoke Olga Zaitseva.
At the Olympic Games in Sochi Olga Won a silver reward in the relay. Her partner on the team, Yana Romanova and Olga VilukhinaAlso received accusations of manipulations with samples and were listened by the Commission Oswald the 13th of November. Athletes themselves since the presentation of charges and temporary removal from official comments refrain, and Olga Zaitseva He stated that he would fight for her innocence to the end.
Opinions:
Regarding the situation with Olga Zaitseva Preceded her former coaches Rostovtsev, Pichler, SelifonovIn support of Russian biathletes, the Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation on Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy Vitaly Mutko. Even the Mentor of the Norway national shooting Siegfried Maza Suddenly did not remain aside, deciding to support all Russian athletes.
We will also explain in Olga Zaitseva. Olga - a man with a colossal career, conducted 80% of the time at the World Cup stages. In Sochi, she did not win the medal, and before that became the Olympic champion. And then why should she take something? And in Sochi, some teams had 220-240 therapeutic permissions. We are talking about these problems, and they will lead away from them. They are all patients, they have a certificate for each substance, - said Vitaly Mutko.
I do not understand how this is possible that the charges are sent to the address of only one country, and more than the claims are presented to all athletes. We must support athletes who did not take doping, but are subject to charges. After all, even those who have taken prohibited drugs have the right to a second chance. Everyone is mistaken. It is impossible to brand people who suffered punishment. But I do not believe that, for example, Anton Shipulin took doping. It is not true. I hope the world sports community will respond and support Russian athletes, - told Siegfried Maza.
Olga Zaitseva is involved in the submenu of samples in Sochi ??? What are you bastards and cattle, gentlemen who have written so !!! Bunny, we are with you !!! Native ours !!! " - Posted by the famous commentator Dmitry Guberniev On your page in "Instagram".
Supported an athlete and ex-mentor of the Russian national biathlon team Wolfgang Pichlernow working in Sweden team. "Olga has always been a pure athlete and has always opposed the use of doping, like Yana Romanova. We worked with them for a long time, and I know them perfectly. I can only talk about what I know, but for me I never had a question about their honesty. As for Zaitseva and Romanova, I am confident by 200 percent, "said Pychler.
Now what?
Zaitsev Temporarily disqualified according to Article 7.11 of the IBU Anti-Doping Rules before establishing facts from the IOC, whether it violated anti-doping rules. Removal means the impossibility of participating athletes in any IBU competition in any position. So far, the case Zaitseva At the Commission B. Lausanne Not heard. The Russian biathlonist will appear before the IOC Commission at the end of November.
