A punitive action against Russian sports launched by the publication of the second part of the report Richard McLaren,gaining momentum.
Following the deprivation of Sochi, the right of the World Cup Bobsley and Skeleton 2017, it was time for punishments of concrete people in specific species Sports.
The "first swallow" was one of the most popular winter disciplines - biathlon.
The International Union of Biathlonists (IBU) is talking about the most athletes who entered the "1000 athletes of 30 sports", which mentioned McLaren in his report.
The International Union of Biathlonists received its part of the "cake" first and began the procedure for taking measures.
"Some of these athletes have already completed sports careerbut among the violators there are those who are now involved in international Competitions"I noticed chapter Ibu Anders Tesoberg.
Why so many accused?
Consider Maclaren's materials regarding specific athletes should the Special IBU Expert Commission, which proceeds to work immediately. Its primary task is to make a decision on the biathlonists of the Russian national team, which are currently in international competitions. According to Bescherd, the decision on them will be made during the week. Participate in the next stage of the World Cup, which will be held after the new year, recognized by the guilty athletes will not be.
31 biathletes - this number is striking imagination. However, the entire debt emphasized that it is not only about top-level athletes. "In this list, three groups of athletes: existing biathletes, those that have already completed their career, and those that are not listed in our database. At international starts, they never started, "the head of IBU quotes TASS.
That is, with a large share of confidence, we can say that there are biathletes on the list that acted only at domestic competitions, there were persisted in the use of doping and removed by the decision of the sports authorities of Russia.
This, however, the situation improves not too much. Even if such is the majority, the picture still appears inside.
Who got under suspicion?
In the "McLaren report" are not indicated by the names of the athletes, they are indicated by the digital code. In McLaren documents, there is a "Duchess" file - the alleged list of athletes who had to take the so-called "Cocktail Roddenkov" with the dates of their starts at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.
This information allows you to calculate who exactly may be hidden under the digital code in a particular case. Portal Sports.ru in the material "Which of the coincisters of Sochi drank cocktail Rydenkov" among the alleged personors indicates biathletes Olga Zaitsev, Olga Vilukhin and Jan Romanov. They all completed the sports career.
In addition, the comparison of documents allows you to make a list of at least two Russians that are included in the current composition of the Russian national team.
However, once again, it is necessary to emphasize - officially lists of the accused are not disclosed and will not be disclosed. IBU will declare only the names of those who will be removed.
How do Russians punish?
Those who land in the list are a little chance of justifying. In this case, the guilt is determined not by the general law, but in accordance with the Code of the WADA, the provisions of which allow you to punish an athlete not only in the presence of irrefutable evidence, but also with suspicion that experts consider quite weighty.
Anton Shipulinwhich B. last years became the main figure russian biathlonHis business card, nor directly, neither indirectly appears in anyone's suspects. And in general, today, for the information that is, there is a clear breakdown towards women - "suspects". And this is the more strange, given that female results In recent years, they are steadily striving down.
Those who are responsible guilty is waiting for disqualification for a period of several years before life removal from biathlon. Taking into account the current situation, those who now fall under the "ax" of IBU are unlikely to ever return to the sport.
But no matter how cruelly sounds, the punishment of individual athletes is not the worst. If there will be at least 2-3 active athletes in the lists of removed (and everyone shows that the situation is exactly the case), the question of removing the Union of Biathleters in Russia in general may be inevitably.
The precedents are already there - in the full composition "rest" Russian weights, athletes and paralympics. Under these conditions, make a decision on the expulsion of biathletes - a pair of trifles. In the event of such a decision, Russia, of course, will lose the right to host all international competitions.
However, the deprivation of these competitions can occur in the event that the sanctions will not be complete.
"Get ready for the worst"
Four-time Biathlon Olympic Champion Alexander Tikhonov, He headed the CPU from 1996 to 2008, in an interview with "Match TV" said: "I agree that there is a political component - but the complete lack of control, solid chatter and the verdict of the former Minister of Sports and his team led to such results. We employ people in our system who have already covered with moss, no high-quality sports medicine. Where does this data about 31 biathlete, I can not say. What we have is a complete lack of information, no defending our interests in biathlon. "
Tikhonov is known for their ambiguous statements, but it is necessary to admit that it is difficult to argue with it in terms of the possibility of defending the interests of Russian athletes. Today they, figuratively speaking, have a shot-up wall. No intelligible protection system of their interests can be seen. Actually, this concerns not only biathletes, and all who fall under sanctions due to the "McLaren report". In the best traditions of the 1937 year, international sports functionaries punish and right, and guilty. And athletes can only pray and believe that they will not come "black funnels"."Let's remove pink glasses. You need to prepare for the worst, and a bad result next week we all are provided. What - not to talk. Investiberg very veiled spoke about the possibilities of some decisions of the Special Commission next week on Thursday, but now under a very big question first of all the participation of the national team, holding the Junior World Cup in the Island of the Pskov Region, the World Cup Stage in Tyumen under a big question, "- Altered the match TV "Voice of Russian Biathlon" Dmitry Guberniev.
Last Guastrol?
Opinions of foreign athletes regarding what is happening. Most led by the World Cup Leader Martin Fourcad Requires the disqualification of Russians, threatening otherwise by the boycott of international competitions.
But the legendary Norwegian Ole Einar Bjorndalen, husband of our almost compatriot Daria Domracheva"For me, they are all" clean "until their fault proven. If at least 10 percent of the information from the list is true, then this is a catastrophe. But first I want to see the evidence. While they are involved in competitions, I hope they are innocent. "
Already for this it is worth saying Bjorndalen "Thank you." But to everyone who wants to cheer for Russian biathletes, you should not skip the race of the World Cup in Czech new place in these days. It is possible that this is the last chance to see Russians at international competitions in the coming years.
This list of organizations provided the head of the WADA Independent Commission Richard McLaren After publishing the second part of the Doping Report in russian sport. IBU has created a working group on the McLaren report, the first meeting of which is scheduled for December 22.
In the expanded composition of the Russian national team before this season There were only 42 athletes. In the constant rotation of national teams in the World Cup and Cup IBU. - 25 people.
What is known?
At the moment, it is known that the "McLaren List" includes both the current athletes, as well as biathletes who never speaking for Russia international tournaments.
Already now you can predict part of the names from the list McLaren: In the period from 2011 to 2015, the investigation into the WADA Commission was disqualified for violations. anti-Doping Rules At least ten Russian biathletes.
The following athletes were disqualified: Sergey Morzhanov (in 2012); Denis Widowin, Nikita Marchenkov, Ivan Nyunyev, Irina Old and Ekaterina Yuryev (all - in 2013); Valentin Pekhterev, Andrei Dubasov, Vyacheslav Baranunkin and Alexander Loginov (All - in 2014).
All listed athletes or have already departed, or continue to serve the sentence.
What will happen next?
President of the International Union of Biathlonists (IBU) Anders Tesoberg Reported that the meeting of the expert anti-doping commission of the organization will be held next Thursday, December 22th.
It is not yet clear whether the sanctions of the World Cup of the Biathlon Cup in Tyumen and the February World Championships among young people and juniors, which is planned in the island of the Pskov region.
According to BescherdIBU has no desire to cancel the stage, but the final fate of the tournament will become known on December 22.
President IBU. Anders Tesoberg It did not deny that individual Russian biathletes can be disqualified, but rejected the possibility that the Russian biathlon team can be removed from participating in the World Cup, and the membership of Russia's biathlonists in IBU will be suspended.
The IBU President also refused to answer the question whether in the lists received by his federation, the names of those Russian athletes who arrived in the new place to participate in the next stage of the Biathlon World Cup.
Bescherg. He stressed that the decision on the World Cup 2021 in Tyumen can be accepted at the Congress of the Organization next year.
After publishing the second part of the report McLarenIBU received a request from WADA demanding to explain the reason for the choice of Tyumen as the receiving region.
Russian reaction
Representatives of the Union of Biathletes of Russia are trying to do a good mine and hope for a successful resolution of the situation.
Some functionaries preferred to act on the principle of "if I climb, everything is bad".
Still, not all against us. The first suspicions were filmed in the summer, when the IOC made the Russian national team at the Olympics in Rio. Not in full, but it is still better than nothing. Now we have friends in International Union Biathlonists (IBU).
On the other hand, they did not have anything left. The report of McLaren appeared 31 Russian biathletes. By 22 of them, the Especially created IBU Commission was suspended. There is no evidence, even though you are crazy. The removal of two winners of Sochi is left in force - Olga Vilukhina and Yana Romanova. The general conclusion of the IBU Executive Committee: The Russian national team can continue to act, where he wants. Although at the World Cup stages, at least at the Olympics. "And even Alexander Loginov can you?" - Asks an incredulous reader. And the President of IBU Anders Debugger will answer him: "All athletes in biathlon, regardless of nationality, have the right to start, if it is allowed by the rules. Loginov left the sentence and, according to our rules, has the same rights as all athletes. He can even participate in the Olympic Games. "
And the Russian team coaches were afraid to connect Loginov to the World Cup stages. Suddenly someone will say something or Cosos will look. Although the law was on our side. Loginov caught on doping. Nobody argues with that. But he left disqualification, which means it has a full right to start, where he wants. More precisely, the coaches will want. And let Marten Fourcade even burst from indignation.
The Frenchman, by the way, the decision of the IBU executive committee is very angry. The main requirements of pure biathletes are ignored. No one is going to reduce the quota for the country for two years for two years, whose biathlonist caught on doping, like Irina Old and Alexander Loginov, remove suspects athletes to a complete investigation (when it is still over) or not to let the biathlonists on the World Championship and Olympiad.
Ole Einar Bjorndalen also did not express delight. "We do not want to wait a year and a half before the next Congress, which can change something. I am disappointed that we are treated with us with boys on parcels, "42-year-old Norwegian with TV2 TV channel shared. IBU leaders seemed to hinted Fourcada and that their business ride on the highway and shoot on black circles, and not to write petitions, whatever smart things are kept there.
Our in the meantime quietly rejoiced victory. The Russian national team continues to perform on major competitions - This is the main thing. IBU was going to change his anti-doping rules only after a year and a half, when the next Congress will take place. Also nice. So, the World Championships exactly come.
However, yesterday it became known that Ibu still went on lovers of the epistolary genre. Extraordinary Congress, where new anti-doping rules will be adopted, will be held on February 9. On the day of the start of the World Cup. Then it will become clear, will take the world championship in Tyumen - 2021 or not. And may be called seven Russian biathletes who continue to be under suspicion. In the meantime, it remains to guess who it is, but hardly the IBU Commission would have spent time on little-known participants of the Izhevsk rifle.

Malyshko will check in the European Championship
Coaching headquarters The Russian national team is in no hurry to call the composition for the World Cup. If women feel a complete hopelessness, then our men can win a few medals in Hochfilzen. Especially high chances of Anton Shipulin and in the relay race. If only the coaches were not mistaken with the final composition, which will be called after the European Championship.
A number of candidates for a trip to Hochfilzenz will go to Zdroyz-Zdroj: Daria Virolainen, Irina Old, Alexander Loginov and Dmitry Malyshko, who at the last moment was replaced by Alexander Povarnitsyna. Once the coaches sent 29-year-old Petersburger to the European Championship, which means that it doubts. So the baby needs to show himself in Dressy-Zdroj, otherwise for the first time since 2011 he will watch the World Championship on TV.

Moscow, 15 Dec - R-Sport, Elena Dyachkova. (IBU) is ready to temporarily remove Russian athletes suspected of violating anti-doping rules whose names of the organization provided (WADA). The list includes 31 Russian biathletes, but some of them have already been disqualified or completed his career.
The second part of the report of the WADA Independent Commission Richard McLaren was published on December 9, in it, among other things, it was said that more than a thousand Russian athletes were involved in manipulation with doping tests at the Olympic Games in Sochi or benefited from this. No weeks, as on the basis of the investigation of the Canadian lawyer, Russia International Federation Bobsley and Skeleton (IBSF) lost the right to host the 2017 World Championships, and on Thursday in the Norwegian press there were reports that IBU received from the WADA list of those whom McLaren considered suspects in violation of anti-doping rules.
"Some of these 31 athletes have already disqualified or completed their career, but there are people who are currently participating in international competitions. We will give recommendations during the week, the IBU Committee can cut out those athletes who must be temporarily disqualified," said the head of IBU Anders Tesoberg. Later, in an interview with the German TV channel, Ard also noted that a part of athletes included in this number never performed at international tournaments, taking part in competitions only in Russia.
Experts will draw conclusions in a week
The Special IBU Committee, which includes representatives of the five countries, on Thursday, had already held the first meeting on the list of Russians. The Committee included lawyers and experts to combat doping, but their names are not disclosed. "We expect that in a week, on Thursday, when the meeting of the IBU Executive Committee passes, the group will already lead the first recommendations," said Bescherd. According to VG.No, the Russian biathletes mentioned in the list can be removed from the competition before the start of the fourth stage of the World Cup, which will be held in early January in German Oberhof.
In the evening, on Thursday, IBU issued an official statement in connection with the latest events. "IBU is truly shocked and deeply saddened by conclusions from the McLaren report. IBU has always stressed that among its main priorities" clean "sports, fighting doping and protection of" clean "athletes," the statement says.
The decision to hold in Tyumen the World Biathlon Cup 2021 can be accepted at the IBU Congress next year. "There is nothing urgent in this matter (according to the World Cup 2021). This issue may be considered at the IBU Congress next year," said Bescherd. According to him, do not hurry with transfer from Russia of the Tyumen stage of the World Cup scheduled for March 9-12, 2017. "No one is in a hurry to make such decisions. Technically, it is not a problem to transfer the World Cup stage in the shortest possible time. We can do it within seven days," said the head of IBU.
SBR is ready to respond
The President of the Union of Biathlonists of Russia (SBR) told the R-Sport agency that if IBU informs the Russian side about his claims.
"In a statement of Inter-Bergue, it was said that they (IBU) received this information from the McLaren report. We are talking about a period from 2011 to 2014 inclusive. What can be commenting here? Spent to us in the Federation, if they have formal charges against someone We will consider personally. There are no of these surnames. IBU, as the official beneficiary of information from Wada, makes his work step by step, "says Kravtsov.
He also stated that he did not see the threat to the transfer of the World Championships from Russia. "Here you do not need to make any announcements that we are not threatened with us, for example. We are in working with IBU. Today, according to a formal basis, what can IBU present, using the McLaren report? Or that IBU himself presented the authors of this report? What was carried out Some manipulation with the samples. Athletes in any case did not participate in this, they did not stood and did not overflow from one test tube to another, the SBR did not participate in such a manipulation, if she had a place, "the head of the CRP.
Two-time Olympic champion, member of the SBR Council believes that russian athletes It is worth expecting other unpleasant consequences McLaren report. "Now you will open the samples, and something else will be. Especially for Russia, such an attitude, now they will look for any reason, and there for sure something was. I think something will find something. And here not only about biathletes need to talk. Unfortunately, the smoke without fire does not happen. Now we just need to wait, but you can not detect that everything is good. You need to wait for the trick, and it will certainly be "," Alyabyev believes.
"I don't think that some measures can enter into force today. They may put the taku to the World Cup or Olympics (2018). Everyone will squeeze out of your finger. Do not forget that sport is part of the policy," he stressed.
Will IBU go on IBSF?
Two-time Olympic champion Dmitry Vasilyev believes that the Bescherg will not allow madness towards Russia. "IBU will follow common sense, because there are reasonable people there. For example, which is not a supporter of radical measures. I hope that he will not allow the madness that happened now in Bobsley and Skeleton. I think IBU will not be on the silent arguments so radically React, "said Vasilyev" R-Sport ".
BUT ex-president SBR, four-time Olympic champion Alexander Tikhonov believes that the current events led to the complete lack of monitoring the situation in Biathlon from the former leadership of the SBR and President Mikhail Prokhorov, as well as the Ministry of Sports. "We have already ceased to be surprised. I think this responses, probably, another previous team is most likely. I always had full information And he tried to convey to the leadership of the federation, the ex-head of the SBR (Mikhail) Prokhorov, then, however, it was not. And it was useless, "Tikhonov said.
"I agree that there is a political component, but the complete lack of control, solid chatter and the verdict of the former Minister of Sports and his team led to such results," the Olympic champion added.
All data were sent to the appropriate international organizations, Which time for some time will publish names and take adequate measures.
But so far the federation is not treated to inform the public, we can figure out the names of athletes who, according to Maclaren, participated in doping schemes.
So, on the website of Vada there is a document called "Diushes.XLSX". The table shows the codes of athletes who allegedly took the "Cocktail Roddenkov" - a mixture of alcohol with steroids. This scheme was disclosed by Rodchenkov himself and painted in detail in the first report of McLaren. Let me remind you that according to the version of McLaren and Roddenkov, the athletes pre-prepared in advance to the underformation of samples and donated the clean urine in front of the Olympiad.
Here is the list of ski racing:
IN Olympic Games In Sochi-2014 20 participated russian skiers: 12 men and 8 women.
- Belov Evgeny
- Immortal Alexander
- Volzhentsev Stanislav
- Maxim empty
- Gafarov Anton.
- Chapter Konstantin
- Hooks Nikita
- Lightweight Alexander
- Petukhov Aleksey
- Ustyugov Sergey
- Chernusov Ilya
- Yaparov Dmitry
- Dotsenko Anastasia
- Zhukova Natalia.
- Ivanova Julia
- Kuzyukova Olga
- Matveeva Natalia.
- Khazova Irina
- Chekaleva Julia
- Shapovalova Evgenia
The list features 14 skiers.
According to my calculations, the codes correspond to the following names (the decoding is presumptive and will be adjusted in the course of the new information):
A0999 Julia Chekaleva
A0291 Julia Ivanova
A0132 Olga Kuzyukova
A1285 Natalia Zhukova
A1281 Evgenia Shapovalov
A1282 Natalya Matveyeva
A0525 Anastasia Dotsenko
A0858 Maxim Smelzhanin (this issue is most likely eligible belongs to the number A0958)
A0467 Alexander Lung
A0086 Dmitry Yaparov
A0081 Alexander Immortal
A0431 Nikita Kryukov
A0772, a0654 - Men sprinters, 2 people from the list: Anton Gafarov, Alexey Petukhov and Sergey Ustyugov
Apparently, in the program on a cocktail, Rodchenkov did not participate:
Bronze medalist of Sochi-2014 Olympics by 50 km Ilya Chernousov, Evgeny Belov, Stanislav Volzhentsev, Konstantin Glavovsky and some of the sprinters - Anton Gafarov, Alexey Petukhov or Sergey Ustyugov. From women - Irina Khazova.
Disclamemer: In this article, I do not blame any of the athletes in the use of doping, it is only an attempt to establish conformity between codes in the McLaren report and the names of athletes on the basis of those data that the report offers and the documents associated with it.
Maya Huseynova
PS: If the information is confirmed that it is easy and the emission participated in the doping scheme, and the blacks - no, then Ilya will become Olympic champion 50 km.
UPD: In biathletes on the list, most likely, fell a female relay.
