Famous foreign athletes on suspension of Russia from the 2016 Olympics

Знаменитые зарубежные спортсмены о дисквалификации России с ОИ-2016

If you believe the previous posts, most of the foreign bloggers support Russia on the issue of disqualification of the Russian athletes for doping at the Olympics 2016 in Brazil.

Moreover, the Russian fans, both ordinary citizens and those in power (this is where we implement the slogan “the People and the party United”) is entirely on the side of his.

The conclusions of the Russians are almost unanimous:

(1) All countries have a secret programme of doping among athletes.

2) Doping scandal – a political action aimed at discrediting the homeland, revenge from the US for an independent policy of President Putin.

3) the Russian athletes use banned for much less funds than most athletes from other countries.

4) the individual reported the use of doping sportsmenam Russia traitors, Judas, and malchish-bad guys.

But what I think this is the athletes themselves, both active and famous veterans, and their foreign? After all, we’ve seen Olympic solidarity and the desire to help each other, despite the intensity of the struggle. And how will fall the value of the coin, if by artificial means will be suspended from competition the strongest?!

As stated on the eve of the court of arbitration for sport in Lausanne, Secretary General of the all-Russian athletics Federation Mikhail Butov: “the support of foreign athletes are important for the Russian athletes”. So was support for his opinion?

I decided to look for what is said by foreign stars about the scandal on the Internet.

Usain Bolt (Usain Bolt). Jamaica. Multiple Olympic champion in sprint running. The main contender for gold in Rio. Opponents among Russians has not. “If you cheat, break the rules, so should be sanctioned. Ban Russia will serve as a good example for other countries”. Proof in the video.

Robert Harting (Robert Harting). Germany. Olympic champion in discus throwing 2012. Criticized the action of the President of the IOC Thomas Bach for refusing to completely ban Olympic collection Russia.

Jarred Tallent (Jarred Tallent). Australia. Multiple Olympic champion in race walking: “Disappointed that Russia goes to Rio. Moke no eggs””.

A group of canadian Champions expressed their attitude to the doping scandal.

Catriona Le May Doan (Catriona Le May Don). Canada. Veteran. Two-time Olympic champion in speed skating: “Disappointed with the decision of the IOC not to ban the entire team of Russia”.

Adam van Koeverden. Olympic champion in 2004-th year in a canoe, a silver medalist of the 2012-th year: “Bach took responsibility for making the decision? Of course, there are no shortcuts, but still no way out.”

In addition, Adam gave an interview with Metro Morning, where he criticized the refusal of the IOC from a complete ban of the Russian team.

Perdita Felicien. Veteran. Multiple World champion on the run with problems: “the Reason why I poddezhivaete complete ban is Russia, because even clean athletes can get benefits from the Russian system. That’s not good.”

Mark Tewksbury. Veteran. Olympic swimming champion 1992 year: “Now we know that there is a big problem with doping, but there is no solution to the problem. Disqualifica caught provoking a reaction. Maybe the ban is going to change?”

Hayley Wickenheiser. 4 times Olympic champion and 7-time world champion on hockey wrote a short essay in his Twitter account condemned the doping Russian athletes, in her opinion controlled by the state and political structures.

Greg Rutherford (Greg Rutherfod). UK. Olympic champion long jump 2012-th year. Called the decision of the IOC’s refusal to ban all Olympic collection Russia spineless and encouraged to retest all of the athletes participating in the London Olympics.

Sir Chris Hoy. (Sir Chris Hoy). UK. 6-time Olympic champion in Cycling. Extremely dissatisfied with the decision of the IOC ban. “They (IOC) wanted to show everyone? The work of the IOC to make decisions for themselves, and not to shift responsibility to others.”

Jo Pavey. (Yo, Travellers). UK. Cypionka 2014 World in the long runs were very clear. “This ratchatewee the decision of the IOC. Not sending a clear signal that tolerance for doping will not.”

James Cracknell (James Cracknell). UK. Veteran. 2-time Olympic champion in rowing. (There are true patriots of Russia can Express their righteous feelings because James is going to join the Tory party) “the Decisive day if you can trust the IOC. Banned Russia? McLaren said that the IOC is fully ready, but do they have enough resolve?”

Katharine Merry (Katherine Murray). UK. Veteran. The bronze medalist of the Olympic games of 2004 in run on 400 m. “MOK is useless. Well, what else the country has to make to get a full ban?”

Andrew Hodge, Andrew Hodge). UK. Olympic champion 2008 and 2012 in rowing. Easy to see that the Federation enforces the rules of rowing Moka 100% against Russia. I hope that the other Federation is also committed to anti-doping”

Emma Pooley (Emma, Bullets). The British cyclist, 2 bronze in London. Believes that her opponent, Russian athlete Zabelin won because he took doping. Outraged that Zabelinskiy made for the Olympics in Rio, although in 2013, the year she was diagnosed with doping in the urine. Put it most sharply, but direct proof I have. The only reference to the British press. Said that he had lost the confidence of the Russian athletes and encouraged Cycling Federation to ban Russian cyclists to participate in any competitions. Also she said she will not shake hands with any Russian athlete if you win a medal in Rio.

Even a few lines from an interview with renowned British athletes without translation.

Dina Asher-Smith: It is likely to lead for greater calls for Russia to be banned from Rio and, while Asher-Smith could not comment on the report, she admitted everything, however big or small, must be blocked out if Team GB’s athletes are to succeed.

Lindsey sharp: Sharp also urged the IAAF to “follow through” on its decision to suspend Russian athletes by banning them from the Olympics in Rio in five months’ time. “I just hope they follow through on it and the Russians aren’t allowed back until they can be trusted to have a system in place,” she said. “It’s so deep rooted.

But is it really all that bad and there is no athlete who would come to the defense of Russia? No, there was one.

American (!!!) athlete, bronze medalist of the world Cup 2007, running for 10 thousand meters Kara Goucher (Kara Goucher) tweeted the following –

So if you’re Russian and served a drug ban you aren’t allowed, but the US can send previously banned athletes. What? (So, if you’re Russian and had a suspend for the doping, then you will not allow (to the competition, approx. mine), and the United States can send the previously banned athletes. How so?

Well as for the Russian athletes.

Something they keep quiet about the fact that doping scandal it is the enemies and all countries do it, according to almost all Russian bloggers. Unfounded, really. As the current Russian athletes and veterans keep quiet. Why? Someone scared

And again. If someone thinks that the selection is biased, then ask the Studio tweets and videos from those foreign athletes who for Russia, who will confirm that it’s all the machinations of the US and the fact that all countries “feed their athletes doping.
