From President to President Thomas Bach (left) and Vladimir Putin in Sochi
How far is Monte Carlo by Russia away? Hard to say yes, because several oligarchs Prince Albert’s love Glitter Ufo – and one of the richest among them, Dmitri Rybolowlew, has brought his millions AS Monaco back in the first French football league. However, the Russian sport passion not only brings luster to the Principality – it casts a cold shadow on the Extraordinary General Assembly of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which begins on Monday in Monte Carlo and actually one of the highlights of Olympic history to be

The reform complex of the new president Thomas Bach, called “Agenda 2020″, is on the agenda, the session will vote on 40 recommendations, the IOC, the to make them fit for the future. It is, inter alia, good governance, transparency and the “clean athletes.” To be celebrated the values of sport to help after the claim of the IOC, to create a better world.
More about
Since disturb the reports of the German and the French sports newspaper “L’Equipe” which is a frightening crosslinked Russian doping system and corruption to the highest level in the World Athletics Federation (IAAF) suggests enormous. If only a portion of the charges, which are partially open voiced by athletes is true, contact the machinations of Putin’s empire which invoked by the IOC Embassy of the sport with feet. Finally, Russia is one of the most important sports powers in the world, as host and donors and as a production facility of winners. Russian athletes just won their home Winter Games in Sochi the first rank of the national rankings. Where they compete, they always do, to win.
But where is the cry of pain? Thomas Bach gave herself very good mood on the way to the first day of the preparatory meeting of the Executive despite the news situation. Steeled in crisis communication as all sports leader, he retired to the legal terrain. “It’s too early to tell,” he replied to the question whether the Russia-scandal could sully the Olympic movement.
“So we wait for the result”
“There are serious allegations. But anyone who is concerned, has the right to a complete process. So we wait for the result. “The ethics committee of the athletes will investigate and work with the Ethics Commission of the IOC. His reforms, said Bach, are quite different from allegations that relate to the past. It would brook class representative to pass on details.
About Andre Zhukov, Russian thoroughbred politician, President of the National Olympic Committee and since last year, IOC member. Or Lamine Diack, president of the International Association of Athletics Federations based in Monte Carlo, whose organization is accused of massive corruption in the media reports. Diack is IOC member since 1999.
68 Russian athletes banned
Craig Reedie, head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and Vice President of the IOC, Bach met on Thursday, and it is likely that there clearer text was spoken as in public. The Wada is responsible for the regulation and coordination of the global anti-doping campaign and may feel embarrassed and betrayed by the Russian network. After the meeting, told the British that the Wada have already passed “some time ago” information about doping in Russia to the ethics committee of the World Athletics Association and Bach informed of this step.
So really surprising the allegations of Russian athletes in ARD and “L’Equipe” can not therefore have come. Even the statistics of caught suggests that. Currently 68 Russian athletes are banned for doping. At the same time, Russia was with 17 medals strongest nation in the 2013 World Championships in Athletics in Moscow. In other sports, including weightlifting, the Russian offensive use of doping substances is an open secret for a long time. But not only the Russian.
The air to be let out of the scandal
Also, the World Football Federation (FIFA), the awarded its 2018 World Cup to Russia and with Russia’s sports minister Vitaly Mutko has a real insider in their executive, wants the examine allegations first. For safety’s sake is the world governing body of the ball but equal to Reedie on. “Fifa is in close contact with the Wada. So far there is no evidence that football could be affected, “it said in Zurich. For the analysis of doping samples at the World Cup in Russia approved by the Wada laboratory is competent.
“It is the responsibility of Wada to ensure that the laboratory meets the required independence and quality standards to be approved in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code.” So the attempt looks like the air of a scandal to leave. The highly decorated Russian pole vaulter Svetlana Feofanowa is apparently not so cool. “The German film about our sport is worse than pornography,” she is quoted by the “Komsomolskaya Pravda”. “This is shit. The Germans are to’d better take care of their own athletes. “The IOC, however, is responsible for all athletes.
