UNDER Routine coach Knut Tore Berland, who previously helped Russian skiers, was informed of the first major fraud disclosure in Russian sport. He explained how his team was informed during a training session that there had to be a check:
– To prepare a ski session, I asked what was planned the next day. The answer made me stumble. It was said that tomorrow we would have an anti-doping testso Berland told VG:
-. From time to time, I thought, "How in the south could he know exactly?" As far as I'm concerned, it's unclear when anti-doping controllers will arrive – at least not the day before.
Berland reported the duty-liability incident to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and, a few years later, in shocking reports from McLaren, confirmed that what he had experienced was almost every day a part of Russian high level sport.
What happens when AMA's top doping hunters are taken to an anti-doping laboratory in Moscow to carry out the check they've warned themselves for months?
This control is not exactly a raid.
PRELIMINARY all the attention has been paid to enter this laboratory. When the Russian authorities opened their own investigation into the revelations contained in the McLaren reports, they at the same time closed access to the home of international doping hunters.
It had become a Russian police case. Or more precisely; Doping, which has been secreted by the Russian Security Police (FSB), has become a regular investigation. Since then, WADA has been asked to stay away as the scene was secure. Then we can tell others why he was secure.
REPLY On this issue, at best, the group of experts from WADA, arrived yesterday, arrived in Moscow:
– We are very happy to be here in Russia for such an important meeting. This is a sign that he is going ahead with contact with the Russian authorities"said Olivier Rabin before the start of negotiations on effective access.
For the moment, WADA management is so advanced in this matter that it needs all the signs of progress. Hopefully these conversations will be followed by a full inspection in the middle of next month.
JUST Free access to the Moscow laboratory is a prerequisite for Russia to fully recover in international sport. In addition to checking a sample sample, WADA requires data on frauds committed in this laboratory before and after the Sochi Olympics. the so-called LIMS printing of all Russian control.
Last fall, WADA received a copy of this information. He was handed over by US intelligence after questioning Grigory Rodchenkov, former head of the Moscow Laboratories, or another Russian anti-doping officer. This material is used as evidence in the collapsed case against Russian skater Ekaterina Glazyrina, but we do not know if the copy is complete.
THE WADA investigators have great uncertainties and have full access to an announced raid on a document controlled by the Russians for several years.
This is where the submitted LIMS copy should be useful. WADA experts will have to use this copy to check the quality of material that the Russians must deliver after a few months.
In order to allow Russian sports to compete in the usual way, WADA has set two deadlines. The first is about the general willingness to cooperate and lasts all year. The next is the positive tests that WADA experts could find. Russians must provide all information by June 30, 2019.
HOWEVER AMA has very much doubted the need to help Russia get into the thick of things. By opening Russian participation without maintaining the initial requirements for full admission of public debt and unlimited control, WADA has lost the necessary leadership with the current leadership. That's why Vice President Linda Hofstad Helleland has been fighting hard to let the Russians act under these conditions.
Now, doping hunters adapt to the culture of Russian baptism, instead of being consistent in demanding that Russia can not return without changing the culture of the cheek.
For the moment, it is unfortunately the international doping control itself that has been the subject of a raid.
