"Dark" story, which Wolfgang Pichler still does not know about.
3. Velikodny answers: “Yes, we must! She is now in Ruhpolding until January 13th, then she will move to Antholz until January 30th. Then - check-in at the Olympics. I'm waiting for a decision! " ...
4. Less than three hours pass - and Velikodny reports: "Saved".
5. An unknown participant in the correspondence (the name is shaded) adds: "If it appears at the World Cup stages, it will be a very ugly situation for the laboratory, if we 'found nothing' in its analyzes at such a concentration."
6. Rodchenkov ironically remarks: “Yes, how is this possible! Also a girl! ".
7. Velikodny reminds in the course of correspondence: "She is based on the Games".
8. Further, from an unknown participant in the correspondence, a clarification follows: “She is at TCB in Ruhpolding (training camp) until January 13th, then in Antholz until January 30th, then arriving at the Olympics. Protocols and analyzes should not exist. "
Now we go back three years. Just the facts - in as much detail as possible:
1. First, I am interested in Ruhpolding. After three December stages, Wolfgang Pichler's group went there for the New Year's camp.
Here is its line-up from the very beginning of the preseason: Olga Zaitseva, Svetlana Sleptsova, Ekaterina Shumilova, Yana Romanova, Ekaterina Glazyrina.
The then senior coach of the women's national team, Alexander Selifonov, clearly explained: Pichler's group is going to Ruhpolding, Vladimir Korolkevich's group to Pokljuka.
2. All attention to Ruhpolding and the Pichler group. Without additional selection, Zaitseva and Shumilova made their way into the base - again, a clarification from Selifonov.
3. Glazyrina, Romanova and Sleptsova went from Pichler's group to the Izhevsk rifle - to prove their right to be in the national team.
4. Two returned from Russia to the training camp in Ruhpolding: Glazyrina and Romanova. This was announced on December 21 by the vice-president of the RBU for sports, Viktor Maygurov. Valentina Nazarova is also mentioned there, but she was sent to Korolkevich's group.
5. On New Year's Eve - a few days before the start of the stage in Ruhpolding - the same Maygurov announced:
Olga Vilukhina, Irina Starykh, Ekaterina Yurieva, Ekaterina Shumilova, Yana Romanova and Valentina Nazarova will perform at Oberhof. Olga Zaitseva and Ekaterina Glazyrina will skip this stage.
For Zaitseva, the decision was made in accordance with her individual training plan, which was approved in mid-December. Olga will take part in the World Cup stages in Ruhpolding and Antholz. Glazyrina had many starts in December, including the Izhevsk Rifle races, so she will not play in Oberhof. The athlete prepares for the World Cup in Ruhpolding. The possibility of her performance in Antholz is also being considered. "
6. Romanova in January did not miss a single personal race, and in general, of all the races, she did not participate only in the relay. Glazyrina did not come to Oberhof, at the next stage (Ruhpolding) she took part in the relay and individual race. And finally, in Antholz, she ran a sprint, did not start in pursuit and was not announced in the relay.
7. Both Romanova and Glazyrina were taken to the Games in Sochi.
Yana competed in sprint, pursuit and individual race. She could run a mass start - there were no problems with the selection, but the coaches held her back to prepare for the relay. In the relay, Romanova coped well with the first stage and won silver with the team.
Glazyrina was checked only in an individual - 61 places. But despite the unsuccessful hire, the coaches found her a place in the relay: Glazyrina, Zaitseva, Romanova, Vilukhina - initially the composition looked like this.
Six hours later, everything changed: Glazyrina was replaced by Shumilova.
“It was a very difficult decision. Ekaterina Shumilova is in good shape now, so we decided to include her in the relay. It was a common decision of the coaching staff, ”Wolfgang Pichler said.
8. Glazyrina hotly spoke on social networks: “Not a team, but ... Thanks to everyone who has been around these four years. Who shared the joy of victories, supported and encouraged when there were defeats, failures and injuries. Thanks to everyone who believed. Everything will be tomorrow. It's not even my shape. Everything was decided by the weather. "
Soon Glazyrina was expelled from the national team. The question of returning to the squad was decided in the spring at the coaching council.
The Biathlon World Championship, which started from the scandal, on the morning of the second day, received the same scandalous continuation. Alas, it is connected with the topic of doping and with an athlete from Russia. But it is not Alexander Loginov.
The International Biathlon Union (IBU) announced that it has decided to temporarily suspend the Russian athlete Ekaterina Glazyrina based on the report of an independent wADA expert Richard McLaren.
The press release says: “After collecting additional information and documentation, the working group decided to temporarily suspend the athlete due to samples that may contain prohibited substances. The result of the doping test carried out by RUSADA may have been tampered with. "
Glazyrina suspended pending final IBU investigation. It is noted that the athlete and the Russian Biathlon Union were informed about the temporary disqualification. The athlete will be given the opportunity to speak at the preliminary hearing.
I must say that the decision was made at the last moment. Until the morning of February 10, Yekaterina Glazyrina was announced to start the sprint race and had to go on the distance under number 10.
About replacing Glazyrina with Irina Usluginu Russian coaches announced at about noon. Head coach of the Russian national team Alexander Kasperovichannounced to reporters: "This is a tactical move." The change took place even before the announcement of the temporary disqualification, but the word “doping” immediately hung in the air.
The "victims" of the McLaren report
The fact that Glazyrina may have problems became known almost immediately after the publication of the second part of Richard McLaren's report, in which 31 Russian biathletes were immediately accused of involvement in the use of doping.
This huge number in many ways became the reason for the signing of mass letters by foreign athletes calling for tougher responsibility for the use of doping. This was not said directly, but it was assumed that first of all it would be about the Russians.
True, with McLaren's accusations, not everything is all right. It turned out that the expert, to put it mildly, worked indiscriminately. To date, all charges have been dropped from 22 biathletes, in three more cases it turned out that the athletes had already been punished earlier.
There are six cases of Russians left, on which there is still no clarity. Their names are unknown, but until today it was assumed that this number was Ekaterina Glazyrina.
“How is this possible! Also a girl! "
The fact is that in the documents of the McLaren investigation there is a correspondence of the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov with a certain Alexei Velikodny... This is the name of the official who held the post of Deputy Director of the Sports Training Center in 2013.
The correspondence is about the concealment of positive doping tests for a certain biathlete. “If she appears at the World Cup stages, it will be a very ugly situation for the laboratory, if we 'found nothing' in her analyzes at such a concentration,” - such a remark sounds in the correspondence. “How is this possible! Also a girl! " Rodchenkov is indignant.
The last name is not mentioned in the correspondence, but the competitions and training camps in which the athlete participated are indicated. It could be assumed that we can talk about Ekaterina Glazyrina.
Who is Ekaterina Glazyrina?
Ekaterina Glazyrina, 29, made her World Cup debut in 2011. She did not become a winner in personal races, once took 2nd and 3rd places, and also several times climbed the podium of the World Cup as part of the relay.
Glazyrina joined the national team at the Sochi Olympics, where she took 61st place in the individual race, but then was included in the relay. However, shortly before the race, the coaching council replaced Glazyrina with Ekaterina Shumilova.
“Not a team, but ... Thanks to everyone who has been around these four years. Who shared the joy of victories, supported and encouraged when there were defeats, failures and injuries. Thanks to everyone who believed. Everything will be tomorrow. It's not even my shape. Everything was decided by the weather, "- wrote then Glazyrina in the social network.
After the Olympics, Glazyrina was first removed from the national team, but then returned. In the 2014/2015 season in the pursuit at the World Cup in Hochfilzen, where, by the way, the current World Championship is also taking place, Glazyrina showed her best result: 2nd place.
The athlete missed the 2015/2016 season due to pregnancy, returned before the start of the current one. Like most Russian women, she did not show anything outstanding. The best results - 6th place in the individual race in Östersund and 5th place in Antholz in the relay.
And in December 2016, the McLaren report was announced, which was mentioned above.
Arguments, facts and ... "concepts"
A logical question: why in such conditions Glazyrina was included in the application for the World Championship?
This appears to be for the same reason why the IBU's language is sounding extremely cautious. It can be assumed that evidence against Glazyrina, apart from the aforementioned correspondence, has not yet been found.
As a result, international officials decided to remove the athlete only at the last moment. Which, of course, doesn't make the situation better.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Vitaly Mutko, quoted by Sport-Express, said: “The Federation needs to be more attentive. The application is sent there for a reason. Plus, you need to establish communication with an international organization. It's strange. There is no decision yet, an investigation is underway. Katya is not suspended. Why then the application was accepted? But maybe that's right. Better to be safe. So as not to take away the medal, if something happened. "
But the words of the four-time Olympic champion, former president of the RBU Alexandra Tikhonova,are also quite logical: “This is a complete disgrace! From McLaren, WADA, IBU. After all, there is not a single legal document that proves something about Glazyrina. And they remove one by one. We need to dispute! Can't be removed. Where is the reason? Prove it! And so - just words. "
Tikhonov is right that in recent years in sports too much has been done “according to concepts”. The same persecution of Alexander Loginov has nothing to do with the law: Martin Fourcade with like-minded people suddenly decided that some "unwritten norms" allow themselves to behave like ... Like an animal with which Fourcade compared
Most of the fans perceived the upcoming action as humiliation of Russia and mockery of the athlete. Some fans, hostile to the new leadership of the RBU, immediately accused the President of the RBU Drachev of compromise, bordering on betrayal and lack of assistance to biathletes suspected of violating anti-doping rules.
I confess, and at first I was overwhelmed by a dark wave of anger, however, on reflection, I came to the conclusion that neither side was interested in summoning Glazyrina directly to the ceremony. And that's why:
Having called Catherine to the ceremony, the organizers will simply have to give her the floor for confession, repentance, asking for forgiveness and the like. But it is impossible to predict what a person who, in fact, was deprived of the dream, to achieve which he spent the best years of his life, will actually say in front of the whole world. And after all, what has been said may turn out to be a very hard-hitting truth, and it will also be impossible to stop it in front of everyone present at the stadium without losing the image.
For example, if I were Catherine, if there really was a single violation of the anti-doping rules, I would say the following (omit the header of the appeal):
“... I admit my guilt in violating the anti-doping rules, and I regret what I have done, but in order to warn against such mistakes of current and novice athletes, I want to say a few words about the reasons that prompted me to commit the offense.
In the spring of 2011, the Russian women's national team, with an eye on the 2014 Olympic Games, was headed by Wolfgang Pichler, who twice, in 2006 and 2009, became the winner of the Biathlon-Award in the Coach of the Year nomination. Naturally, all of us, the biathletes of the national team, enthusiastically embraced this appointment, hoping that with such a specialist many of us would win the Olympic Games. Therefore, all instructions and requirements of Wolfgang were carried out accurately, unquestioningly and with great desire.
But the loads proposed by Pichler turned out to be unbearable for most of the biathletes, among whom there were even the world and Olympic champions Sleptsova and Bogaliy, as well as Yurlova, who later, in 2015, under the guidance of another coach, became the world champion. One after another, they left the national team, and some of them were soon forced to end the careers of professional athletes.
And I stood it and, it seemed, dreams come true - in the pre-Olympic season, here in Östersund, I won my first personal medal at the WC, taking 3rd place in the individual race, which helped me to securely gain a foothold in the main team.
But the beginning of the Olympic season was deafening for me - here, in Ostersund, in the same individual race, I took 87th place. None of the measures taken helped me to get out of the functional pit and the time has come when I could stay in the national team only by winning the domestic Russian competition - "Izhevsk rifle". And how to win if the body is emasculated. On the other hand, soon 27 years old and the chances of getting to the next Olympic Games are minimal. And I decided to go for a one-time anti-doping rule violation.
I got out of the functional pit. But not for long. Even before the start of the Olympic Games, I again found myself in a hole from which I could not get out until the end of the season.
Now for me it's all over with sports - for a number of reasons, the real term of my disqualification is almost 7 years. And this is for a one-time violation of the rules by an athlete who was actually driven into a dead end. Truly, a sports court is the most inhuman and biased court in the world!
I appeal to you, active and novice athletes. Let what happened to me be a good lesson for you. Do not blindly believe in the merits, experience and promises of trainers and doctors. As you embark on a professional journey, become your own trainer and doctor. Do not rely on chance and justice of the courts. "
In my opinion, this is the kind of speech that Glazyrina could have made at the medal return ceremony. Provided, of course, that Ekaterina actually violated the anti-doping rules once.
I don't think she would have been booed; on the contrary, such an appeal would have opened the eyes of many people in the West. But the refusal of the ceremony will certainly serve as a confirmation of the opinion prevailing in the West about the massive and malicious violation of anti-doping rules by Russian athletes.
And what do you think, dear fans, is it worth Glazyrina to agree to the ceremony with an invitation?
soyuz-Apollo, for our athletes it is doping, and for the Norwegians it is medicine. That's all the logic
How many "sick" there was before Yos flew at such speeds?
If you have not taken doping, you have to go and say about it, as well as about the disproportionate punishment (first a temporary suspension, then disqualification without counting the suspension).
If she was guilty, she knew what she was accepting, she had to go and apologize and hand over the medal. If not, I don't even know ... Anyway, go try to explain
I think this speech is quite appropriate but incomplete - I should add about therapeutic exceptions. which, like doping, often give an advantage. and which should be excluded from fair competition.
Dimych, I did not understand the logic. Doping-containing drugs were found in one of the hospitals in Norway, and on this basis you accuse the Norwegian national team of using doping? Are you sure that there are no such drugs in all of Russia? And if there is, is this an excuse to accuse the Russian team of doping?
Apparently this is some kind of stuffing, and you are led to it. If the drugs were found, then where would they be if not in the hospital? For some, they are doping, but for others, they are medicine.
Glazyrina should never go to Sweden. And in no case should anything be returned. Lost it all! And the RBU will pay for its consent to participate in this heinous performance. They continue to put pressure on us from all sides, and because of their compliance, this pressure will now intensify.
Glazyrina's participation in the rewarding ceremony at the upcoming World Championships in Ostersund is out of the question. Let the presidents of Sbrovsky and vice-presidents make a speech in the style of idealist crucians. And it is best not to restore the SBR at all on such shameful conditions.
Katya does not need to go anywhere, I agree with many it is already meanness to force them to participate in all sorts of ceremonies, I have not seen a single person caught on doping who would return the medal with solemnity, there is nothing to start, forever Russians are extreme everywhere.
Leonid Aleksandrovich, did anyone here confess to the use of doping? In memory, only Yaroshenko.
I still do not understand why this material and such a heated discussion, or I missed something. Glazyrina confessed to doping somewhere? I don’t remember something.
Well, well ... ((And the 5th column, and delirium, and repentance on my knees, ...
In a hurray-patriotic frenzy, no one wished to notice that in the proposed speech, Katya did not ask anyone for forgiveness, because there was nothing for that: she won the returned medal honestly, being clean from doping, and a single dose of doping allowed her only to perform well on domestic starts without affecting in any way its international starts. At the same time, she tells the people gathered at the stadium (in the opinion of the jingoistic patriots, this is not the public, the public is somewhere there ...) that a biased sports court disqualified her for 7 years for a small offense, which she went to being driven into an almost hopeless situation by a trainer, repeatedly recognized in the West as the best trainer of the year (for comparison, the same court disqualified Sundby for only six months for 10 times! exceeding the dose of prohibited anti-asthma drugs allowed for him by TI.)
And in general, hurray-patriots, having taken the position of an ostrich, do you think that you have “saved your face”? By no means, the West will quite rightly evaluate you by the exposed part of the body.)))
Boeing-777-300,
Nothing will change if we repent. When they could not squeeze us on EPO and on scratched test tubes, they invented meldonium. We are not using meldonium now, which means they will ban ascorbic acid. :))
They do not need our repentance, they need to squeeze us and keep us in a guilty state all the time. It does not seem strange to you that they are poking around in the affairs of bygone years. Three years have passed since the Olympics-14 - and suddenly scratched test tubes surfaced. From the moment of the World Cup-17 - almost 2 years - and suddenly the police in Austria. Why not immediately check the test tubes, flasks, beer mugs, if you don't trust so much? Why is this constant whipping up of intrigue, as in a bad series. Because they don't need the truth. They need to create visibility, stir up the show and fish in this troubled water. :))
Boeing-777-300, "about WADA" means there is not "everything is clearly stated", since you are embarrassed to write here about how you understand the meaning of this organization's existence. And about the recent incident in the Norwegian locker room, I will gladly give you a link again, for it is very indicative: championat.com
Dimych, so what about the Norwegian locker room?
Boeing-777-300, you may "need to recover in the world biathlon", but I do not. Therefore, be careful with generalizations, because your "us" is not "all"
I am aware of how “our country worries” you. You cannot live a day without self-healing self-conviction that everything is very bad with us, and we urgently need to run to repent before the West.
Do not worry so much, even if for our country, because such strong experiences are harmful to health
Do Western champions eat dope? EAT! And this is NOT DISPUTED (if I forgot, the Western bureaucrats themselves admitted it)! Do not forget about it
Dimych, I have little interest in what they have. So far, no one has provided official evidence.
I live in Russia, so our country worries me. And the facts show that we really wanted to win the 2014 Olympic Games at home. And I had to behave well and correctly. Well, it didn't work, it happens. The Chinese also do not know how to do everything.
Did you take Glazyrina? Yes, and this is not disputed. Do we need to recover in the world biathlon? It is necessary. And for this you need to return the medal and repent.
Dimych, about WADA you can find it yourself, everything is clearly stated there.
What happened in the Norwegian locker room?
Boeing-777-300, he also "clearly said" that this doping is "used all over the world"
Or do you have double standards here too (here - I see, here - I don't see)?
Therefore, the cases are not “too many”, but “not enough”. And they are very selective - these "cases".
And in order for those in the tank to also understand the real picture of what is happening in “big sport”, it is necessary at least to begin and bring to a logical conclusion the investigation of such cases, which recently happened in the Norwegian locker room. Better yet, test everyone in the same way at the same time, with the same “acceptance criteria” (without any “special blood passports” there). But you perfectly understand that the West will not go to this, because all their champions on the most powerful doping sat, sit and will continue to sit. And the meaning of WADA's existence is immediately lost
By the way, can you tell me the meaning and objectives of WADA? (smirk to)
Dimych, on the next branch, Putin clearly said that doping was, albeit not at the state level.
But since 2006, are there not too many cases of our use of doping? Don’t you?
And what Glazyrina accepted is not disputed. She withdrew her appeal.
Alexander II, you have speculation, and nothing more. Only Sachenbacher was caught from German women, Gregorin from Slovenians, and I don’t remember anymore.
Remind our cases?
Boeing-777-300, Duc, to your guide to action, there is another, no less relevant, remember?
"The loudest shouts of all - HOLD THE THIEF - the thief himself"
Boeing-777-300, in addition to the saying, you also need to be guided by logic. And she says that it is usually not profitable for a thief to catch himself. Therefore, you can wait for this unique moment for a very long time - you may not survive
And besides, you even apply this saying selectively. Or do you think that "scratches on the container" is tantamount to being "caught" or what?
Boeing-777-300,
so many of the foreigners were caught, only the punishment was either out-of-competition, or very short, or doping was recognized as a medicine, and when they returned to the sport, no one pointed a finger at them and did not shy away like lepers, as it was, yes and there is, with Loginov, Starykh and even our swimmer Efimova. Are these double standards not obvious to you? It is not obvious to you that we became "malicious dopingists" exactly during the period of sanctions (coincidence?), And before that everything was developing more or less "cleanly and successfully."
"Not caught - not a thief" - I also really like this saying. But only she acts in ideal and honest circumstances. It is also important here, but who will catch something? "Who are the judges?" :))
Katya .. you understand me))
Anton Pavlovich Chaika, I am guided by the saying "not caught, not a thief."
Boeing-777-300,
do you really think that in sports there is a struggle between crystal clear foreigners and Russians who are mired in doping? In fact, in sports, there is a struggle between strong countries and weak ones, which is now Russia. They also have doping, and it is even more effective and frank, only about their doping they agree and turn a blind eye to it. :))
If there are even drug addicts among their athletes, and they are treated much more loyally than with ours, who took the restoring drug meldonium. :))
Therefore, the humiliations that are invented for us in sports are by no means intended to make sports clean and transparent, but to understand to what extent we will bend and whether our officials can be manipulated in the future. :))
If you do speak, then the speech should not be plaintive and exculpatory, but offensive
It is necessary to raise the question again and again - for the same drugs, DOCOLE will raise some to the rank of "great champions", and others to the rank of "great violators"? It is especially good to pose such questions at the international level.
But in this case, I am a realist, and I understand perfectly well that no one will let Katya push a fiery speech on this topic. Therefore, I think that Katya does not need to go there and humiliate herself.
DimaN195, do not flatter yourself, the Western public is not present at such events and, moreover, will not hear the speech of some Russian athlete
Rosa RD, they are not sick.
Boeing-777-300, but I think this, even you will not be pleased (about death)
And you misunderstood me. I'm just for not competing with disease.
Boeing, little depends on my choice. Alas.
I expressed my opinion. Katya won't go.
There will be no clear glade ... new businessmen will come ...
Naivety at this age .. probably good
Anyuta, otherwise Russia in the world biathlon will have a bird's rights. Take your pick.
Boeing, how naive you are ...
Katya doesn't need to go anywhere. Send by all.
Rosa RD, you see, you yourself are happy about the possible disqualification.
And if it is for many years, then the SBR will die on its own, and at the end of this period we will have a pristine clearing, and we will start from scratch.
Boeing-777-300, and all the athletes. where did you see this phrase? You gave a link, I looked and saw that the Finns were caught there, and they found doping right away, and not after 3,4,5, etc. years they sprinkled something (like excess salt, some scratches, it is not clear who abandoned, etc.) and punished them, giving basically 2 years. And here you are constantly shouting about the fact that there is a guard, we surrender, disqualify the whole country ...
Although, to be honest, I would even be glad if we were really taken, disqualified, and our athletes, breathing freely, began to calmly compete, knowing that they would not endlessly try to somehow discredit them (for some reason, Butina all the time pops up as an example).
In general, this is a useless conversation. So ... just sometimes you want to speak.
Rosa RD, do you have evidence that all athletes are doping, but they are not caught due to corruption, but only us, because we did not please someone? I do not have.
Finland is a small country, it's easier for her. Nobody is thinking of removing Russia, although I called for this, I do not deny it. Why this should be done, I have already explained many times.
Lilia, I think an exception will be made for such a case.
Most likely, nothing even stipulates that a disqualified athlete must be present at the re-rotation. The medal will be taken by our officials from the sport, transferred to the IBU, which in turn will send the corresponding medals to other athletes. The same Bescon will return the bronze, receive the silver. What fanfare, and even more so speech.
Boeing-777-300, so there was a great answer to yours, about the suspension of the whole country for a certain number of years: “Your statement should be slightly modernized - all national teams should be disqualified for several years, and the“ sick ”ones sent for compulsory treatment, together with officials and by the doctors who issued the TUE. "
“Then at once six members of one of the strongest ski teams on the planet, the Finnish national team, were convicted of using illegal drugs: Virpi Kuitunen, Milla Yaho, Harry Kirvesniemi, Jari Isomesä, Janne Immonen and Mika Myllylä.
As a result of the proceedings, most of the Finnish national team was disqualified for two years. " The national team ... that got caught! For two years, and not for 4, 5, 7, etc. ... but about the national team, or God forbid the country ... The country, in a strange way, somehow did not even think about removing it. Perhaps only athletes and then for 2 years ..
Yuri. M, site
As an example.
Boeing-777-300, just a mile away, carries the nickname AWA-AMA from you. For what, in general, should Glazyrina be held responsible, for Duchesse Rodchenkov? Anyone could have added it, these are not injections. Again, Diman1951 writes about the IW race, where two samples were taken, but in the IG it didn’t flash - it won in the sprint, but the drugs were already minimal. Accepted for the experiment? But its further results are about nothing, and Rodchenkov convinced everyone of the advantage of Duchesse (moreover, they ate everything according to him), if they were forced to speak to Glazyrina, then it should be brought to the fact that Rodchenkov forced to use Duchesse for the threat of sample substitution as he had access to them, plus attempted harassment. Meanness for meanness. Krushelnitsky has already made a deal with the IOC, pleaded guilty - soldered for 4 years. The young American USADA catches the discal for half a year without losing titles and in the absence of competitions.
Katya was not officially (publicly) notified in time by the WADA-accredited Moscow laboratory about the presence of a positive sample. This is a major anti-doping violation. Further correspondence between Nagornykh and Rodchenkov, these are only their problems and nothing more. Further, it seems, as it were, it was proved that Berlinger containers are not reliable and can be opened and sample changes are possible, especially since it is unlikely that those samples are in nature, so it can, and most likely, should send everyone, even our current officials from sports.
The Western public has nothing to do with our doping at all. They put on yellow vests and solve their problems.
But the special services of the NATO bloc benefit from fanning the fire, which seems to have already gone out.
All means are used for this. Including the groans of the 5th column, to which the author belongs.
Alexander II, When our country becomes strong and economically equal - to you and me, and to many of our others - all these attacks and international "public" opinion will be imposed. So I propose to start laying right now, without waiting for economic growth.
DimaN1951, the opinion of the Western public about us can change in two cases.
1. This will happen by itself when the country becomes strong and economically equal to all the screaming Russophobes. This is a long process, but expected.
2. In the event that any of these screaming hard gets in the teeth, in the literal sense of this expression. And judging by the way some people beg, it can happen much faster ...
Forgive me, gentlemen, but why is this frightened, Glazyrina should give something to someone? Did she win the Olympics or the World Championship with the help of doping? Have you crossed the thorny path for the prima of biathlon? Moreover, how, according to Ilf and Petrov, should I “repent publicly”? In what? What about a seven-year suspension? Is this not a punishment for a good, promising athlete? Our discussions would not take place at all if we knew for certain all the circumstances of those covered with darkness stories. But today it is obvious: the details, including the truth, are of no interest to anyone. The precedents are important and again we are the pioneers. Or maybe these are the scraps of the roadmap for the return of competitive status to our biathlon? But is that a price to pay for it? I am sure that such a proposal by the IBU was discussed with our management, he is well aware and the consent has already been given. It remains to trample the athlete Ekaterina Glazyrina. What? What did she bring to Russian biathlon, besides problems? So it seems like it will not be lost. Comrades! In my opinion this is bestiality. Even to offer her such an action is bestiality. This has never been offered to anyone in the world and will never be offered. And excuses like: "I had oral sex with a mink partner, so that something remained on the lips and showed a positive test" - this will work. And what, they will not go into their personal lives. Ours already have to pay separately for harm. We pass tests more than anyone else in the world and the WADA officer, in relations with ours, does not observe politeses - the Russians are rotten by the whole world. So let's also begin to spread rot ourselves, here the "community" will have fun, rejoice. It's boring for them to live. Let's start with Johaug, Sundby, Hermann and the rest. We will arrange a public gathering of those who repented, exchange medals, pay compensation to the innocent victims (the IBU will cease to exist immediately)) and listen to the confessions of those who have won a lot, and continue with great success. This will be a clean slate. And on other conditions - if you please, we will not tolerate double standards. And the president of the SBR should not bend, but show his adherence to principles. After all, obviously, the next Loginov from the Olds will be, and there we have a very large list. So understand, there are rules or not, are there laws or not? Until there is "surrender" we will be picked and lowered. For people - you need to stand uphill, what they are not - ours. And as long as it is, there will be no arbitrariness. And our people are grateful, they are grateful for the difficulties, and they will give their lives for protection and justice.
DimaN1951, you will excuse me, of course, I have always considered you a wise user and your comments differ with the appropriate content, but now you, like “a local urban crazy airplane (I'm talking about Boeing),” suggest repenting chtolla? Maybe on your knees right away?
DimaN1951, and the Western public will forgive the poor natives. He will understand and forgive.
Katya, spit in their faces and enjoy life!
It is strange that most of the commentators do not want to understand that, in the conditions prevailing for Russia, it is necessary to use any platform to express their opinion. I am sure that after a speech similar to the one above, the opinion of the Western public about us will change for the better.
zakol,)) as a confessional speech ...
No, no and NO!
Kate! Let everyone go through the forest! No speeches or confessions!
Little do they rot our country, it is still publicly humiliated in front of them ((
The situation in Russian biathlon is already tense to the limit. There is a redistribution of property, a division of spheres of influence and other delights of the off-season after a failed cycle. And now a new scandal. The Anti-Doping Commission of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) has ruled against the Russian biathlete Ekaterina Glazyrina. She was found guilty of using illegal drugs and was disqualified for two years. No additional information on the motivational part has yet been reported. It is only known that the disqualification is counted from April 24, 2018. All results of the athlete from late 2013 to early 2017 have been canceled.
Now let's deal with the evidence. And they simply do not exist! That is, everything is again based solely on the testimony of the informant Grigory Rodchenkov. And that's it, no more evidence at all. Given that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) recently officially invalidated his testimony, it is completely unclear how the final decision on Glazyrina was made. Firstly, Catherine was first suspended from sports for two years, and now she was also disqualified. During this time, no new information on her case has appeared, and the one that was originally declared unlawful in the highest court.
IBU disqualifies Glazyrina for two years for anti-doping rule violation
SBR and Glazyrina intend to fight
And this is the only correct decision in this situation. The athlete has already announced that she will appeal to the CAS against the IBU's decision. Glazyrina has 21 days to do this, and according to Ekaterina, the appeal will be filed immediately after the holidays. Literally minute by minute, an official statement from the SBR appeared, where the Russian Biathlon Union said it did not agree with the decision of the commission and intends to defend the rights and reputation of the athlete in the Sports Arbitration Court. It is a pity that such a prompt reaction from our officials did not come several years ago, when all this was just beginning. But there is no point in regretting the past, so it is necessary to seek an acquittal here and now. Logically speaking, the chances are quite good.
The voice of the Russian biathlon Dmitry Guberniev has already suggested that Glazyrina is only the first swallow in a new series of attacks on Russian biathlon and sports in general. For all the ambiguity of the commentator's figure, such a scenario is really easy to read. And the CAS decision on Glazyrina could become a turning point in this whole story.
"Everything is saturated with hypocrisy." Why the hope of Russian biathlon is so suddenly gone
One of the most talented Russian biathletes criticized the coaches ... and unexpectedly ended her career at 25. Coincidence?
"I was offered to admit doping in exchange for a position in the IAAF"
Do you remember what kind of evidence the IBU used against Glazyrina? Now let's take a look at the situation with a positive doping test in the Olympic champion from Kenya Absel Kiprop, which became public at the same time. One of his tests tested positive for erythpropoietin. Yes, yes, that one. Kiprop was supposed to go to the start of the stage of the "Diamond League" in Doha on May 4, but, of course, is no longer listed among the participants. Here's how the Kenyan himself explained the situation.
Ekaterina Glazyrina is a Russian biathlete who has achieved the title of Master of Sports of Russia. For many years she has been considered an important link in the Russian national biathlon team. Among her achievements, it is worth noting a four-time championship in domestic competitions and a silver in the pursuit at the World Cup in Hochfilzen.
The biography of Ekaterina Glazyrina since childhood is associated not just with sports, but with skiing. The future biathlete was born and raised in the Perm Territory, in the town of Tchaikovsky. The family brought up two children - Ekaterina and her twin sister Maria, who later became an accountant. When the girls were in school, Katya, along with other classmates, was invited to the local ski section, because for Perm people, the ability to ski well is considered almost a natural skill.
And it was skiing, first as a hobby, and then as an occupation, without which Glazyrina could not imagine life, that introduced her into the world of big sports. Later, Catherine took up a gun and became a biathlete. At the age of 17, the girl moved to Yekaterinburg, since there the athlete could develop more seriously under the supervision of high-class coaches. The first trainings of the athlete took place under the supervision of Alexander Nepryakhin, then Valentina Mikhailovna Stremousova became Ekaterina's personal trainer.
By the way, in the capital of the Urals, Glazyrina received a higher education, graduating from the Faculty of Tourism and Sports of the Ural State University of Physical Culture.
Biathlon
Initially, in professional sports, biathlete Ekaterina Glazyrina prevailed due to her excellent speed, but later the athlete focused on shooting accuracy, so she developed this skill to the proper level.
Ekaterina entered the international arena in 2007. The girl became a participant in the European Championship, which took place in Bansko. At first, the athlete showed herself only on the individual track. A year later, Glazyrina arrived at the Czech track in Nove Mesto na Morave, where the next European Championship was held. At this competition, the biathlete has already shown herself in three types of competitions. In addition to the individual race, the girl participated in the pursuit and sprint.
The athlete got into the Russian national team in 2010, after she won a bronze medal at the Russian championship in Uvat. In the same year, at the European Championships in Otepe, the girl also climbed to third place on the podium, winning a medal in the relay race. A year later, Ekaterina was awarded a bronze medal at a similar competition on the Italian Val Ridanna circuit in the “individual race” category.
The best personal achievements of Glazyrina in big sports are considered silver in the pursuit at the World Cup in Hochfilzen and bronze in Swedish Östersund, when the girl did not make a single mistake.
In 2014, at the home Winter Olympics in Sochi, Yekaterina was one of the country's hopes. But due to incorrect statements about the coaches of the national team, the athlete was expelled from the team and did not take part in the Olympic Games. The conflict occurred after Glazyrina was replaced with during the participation of the women's team in the pursuit races. The athlete expressed disagreement with the decision of the coaching staff with an angry remark from the page in “ In contact with ". By the Russian Biathlon Union, this post was perceived as an insult, and the biathlete was disqualified until the end of the season.
Due to her pregnancy, Catherine missed the next season. But in the races of the 2016/2017 season, Glazyrina again got into the team of the best Russian biathletes. And at the very first stage in Beitostolen, Norway, she managed to win bronze in the women's 7.5 km sprint race. The victory gave the athlete the right to participate in the World Cup stage in Ostersund, where Ekaterina came sixth in the individual race. In further competitions, the biathlete did not manage to get into the top ten.
Personal life
The young biathlete is doing well on all fronts. Catherine not only builds a respectable sports career, but also does not forget about her personal life. In 2015, the biathlete officially married her beloved Anton Shchurbinov, whom she had met for many years before. The husband of Ekaterina Glazyrina is also directly related to biathlon: he is the coach of the national team of the Sverdlovsk region.
And at the end of 2015, Catherine became a mother. They had a son with her husband, whom it was decided to name in honor of his father Anton, since a strong external similarity is visible between the boy and her husband Glazyrina. Interestingly, shortly after giving birth, Catherine began training and returned to the highest sports level the next season. And the boy, during the gathering of his mother, is either with his father or with his grandparents.
Like any professional athlete, Glazyrina has her favorite activities that help her psychologically liberate herself and relieve the stress of exhausting training. For Ekaterina, these were knitting, music, shopping and surfing on the Internet. Ekaterina does not have an Instagram account, but the athlete posts personal photos on the VKontakte social network. The girl also loves to visit restaurants of Italian cuisine, but due to her sports regime, she can afford such a vacation much less often than she would like.
Ekaterina Glazyrina now
In February 2017, the International Biathlon Union temporarily suspended the Russian woman from participating in international competitions. The reason was the report of Richard McLaren, which allegedly contained evidence of the athlete's involvement in the use of doping. The sports organization suspended the activities of Glazyrina pending a final verdict. This event took place on the eve of the Women's Sprint World Championship, which was held in Hochfilzen.
Nevertheless, the biathlete did not give up, but continued to prepare for participation in further competitions, which included the 2018 Olympics. In November, the International Biathlon Union still did not express its decision on the disqualification of Catherine. As a result of the actions of the sports organization, Glazyrina was forced to miss participation in the Olympic Games.
In early May 2018, Yekaterina Glazyrina was charged with an anti-doping rule violation, followed by a two-year suspension. The results of the competitions in which the athlete participated since the end of 2013 were also canceled.
Ekaterina Glazyrina expressed disagreement with the actions of the anti-doping commission and is now preparing an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). According to the biathlete, there is no evidence of her involvement in doping, other than the infamous report. The athlete does not lose hope of regaining her honest name, so she continues to train on the tracks of Altai and Siberia.
