What we do depends on the final goal. If you first of all try not to anger your opponent, then you can relax and try to have fun. There is also another way. It is similar to that of China with an attempt to take the top managers of its leading companies hostage.

The fire of the doping scandal with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which seemed to be finally extinguished, flared up not only with renewed vigor, but also at the most inopportune moment.

According to The New York Times, WADA not only launched the procedure for revoking the accreditation of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), but also recommended the Executive Committee of the Olympic Committee to suspend Russia from participating in international competitions under its auspices for the next four years.

Behind the dry clauses of formal restrictions, there is actually a ban on the participation of the Russian team in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo (in 2020) and the Paralympic Games in Japan (2020).

No, if the athletes themselves, individually, want to, then under a neutral white Olympic flag, they can try, as it was in Korea in 2018. No anthem. Without country affiliation. Even without entering the results into the official Olympic archive. They were reflected exclusively in the athlete's personal file and were not mentioned in the public rating.

Never mind that the drug tests the charges were based on crashed. Other evidence is missing. The informant, who allegedly gave the indictment, is unknown where. And, in his subsequent words, he did not reveal anything of the kind at all. His statements were interpreted in an extremely biased manner. None of this matters. No one has carried out any serious investigation of all the listed inconsistencies and was not going to carry it out. Russia is to blame, period. This is what WADA said.

Now it also announced that the information with the personal files of Russian athletes stored in the central database of the Agency had not been rechecked. More precisely, a discrepancy between the data between the WADA database and the database of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, from where they originally came, was revealed. Signs of information falsification (file content, their parameters and operation logs) for 2015 and 2017 were allegedly found.

In a word, there is no such honest country - Russia. All Russians are drug addicts by default, who succeed solely through doping and reporting fraud. Whoever doesn't like it, let them try to refute the final WADA report on that story. Dot.

Ancient Olympia, Greece

In my opinion, this whole story is frankly sewn with white thread. From start to finish. It has nothing to do with the bright ideals of the Olympic movement. If only because the whole sport of high achievements is supported by doping more than completely. It is enough to read the history of expanding the list of restricted and prohibited drugs.

At first, something is considered just a vitamin, a means to accelerate recovery, a stimulant of one or another activity, and is used everywhere. Because otherwise it is possible to withstand titanic loads, but at the same time it is absolutely impossible to get a record result.

And the Olympic Games are, first of all, solely the results. How many places are occupied, how many medals have been collected. Athletes from more than a hundred countries take part in the race. 88 teams took part in Sochi-2014. In Pyeongchang-2018 - 92. And there are only three prizes in each discipline. Nobody remembers the rest as soon as the fanfare stops. This means that “ours” must be on the pedestal.

All pharmaceutical corporations are working for this. And as their assortment is updated, WADA suddenly recognizes outdated formulations as doping. And screams like a victim for trampling on the saint.

But it's not that. The problem is our weak-willed attitude towards Western fetishes and even less decisiveness in defending our own interests, as well as the honor and dignity of Russia.

Even now, when these figures came to our country openly biased (the quality of their investigations can be inferred from the results of past investigations with the missing samples), the new leadership of RUSADA, in the person of, first of all, Genus who came from nowhere is openly engaged in sabotage. I have not yet met the reaction of the All-Russian federations of sports, but if it is similar to the position of the former head of the athletics federation, then this is pure defeatism and opportunism.

Ah, WADA only recommended, the decision will be made by the Olympic Committee on December 9, 2019, and we hope for their impartiality and professionalism. Yeah. Last time, we also hoped for sincere observance of the great principles of Pierre de Coubertin.

Now we are reaping the benefits. In the eyes of the bourgeois public, we, in the eyes of the bourgeois public, admitted our guilt in doping fraud with our sluggish behavior. Now this theme can be pedaled at any time convenient for them. We don’t look at Sirena Williams, we don’t look at the Scandinavian ski and biathlon team consisting of chronic asthmatics, they are all white and fluffy anyway, only Russian athletes are to blame for everything. Precisely because Russian. But you can refuse the flag - they trained, and this will give them a personal chance.

What we do depends on the final goal. If you first of all try not to anger your opponent, then you can relax and try to have fun. Russian athletes have been denied access to the Games for four years. And close our eyes to the fact that a fair share of them, despite loud statements about love for the Motherland and efforts for Russia, will eventually betray their country.

After all, they tried. We trained. Their whole life is contained in the Games. Therefore, to betray a little - it’s not so scary. The rest (intelligence officers, military men, scientists, and so on) should certainly not betray the Motherland, but specifically to Olympic athletes it is possible. Everyone else should shut up their objections and turn their backs altogether. Because it’s not a time, not a place, and indeed "what can we do?"

There is also another way. It is similar to that of China with an attempt to take the top managers of its leading companies hostage. WADA - forest. Arrange a full-fledged public investigation ourselves. Who corrupted the data, where, when, why did no one notice this before? The head of RUSADA is on trial. Should his organization be in charge of control? This means that it was she who overlooked the database.

Run

The country has suffered significant material and moral damage. So, first, if you please, compensate at the cashier, and then here is a saw and here is a plot for philosophical reflections. The results are for the press. First of all, foreign. And poke every Olympic official's nose into every one, even the smallest, of their joint.

So that they began to hiccup on the third day, and a month later they flinched only one combination of colors, similar to the Russian state flag. To understand: it is NOT POSSIBLE with us anymore. Under no circumstances.

And the games in these four years to arrange their own. Let them be small in number of participants. But you need to be able to organize and show them in such a way that even Hollywood gets jealous. How they did it in Sochi. We did great with tank biathlon as well. So we already know who to contact for advice on organizing the process.

It will be difficult, but only in this way the desire to treat us in this way can be reliably discouraged. Otherwise, in four years they will again find something, how to put it mildly, to get to the bottom.

In general, the matter is small: first, to firmly decide on the choice of the path, and then follow it to the end, despite the difficulties. For at the end of this path, victory awaits us. And the point is not that "the path of a thousand li begins with the first step," but that "courage is patience in danger."
