Passion about the American RAID against the Russian sports gradually subsided, and now you can more or less safely talk about how the Russian authorities will take revenge for our overseas opponents, especially since the first steps have already been taken. First, I would like once again to draw your attention to the fact that we and our values are different from Western ones, so if I need to revenge, you need to hit where it hurts them according to their value system. That’s why I considered and continue to consider proposals on the boycott of the Olympics nonsense. Our opponents are not hurt by this, and even pleasant, because their goal is to throw from the Olympics all the Russians and boycotting them will only help. No, dear friends, our overseas opponents you have to beat that object, which replaces the honor, conscience, heart and soul. They should beat on the wallet.
They are afraid of it. British “guardian” writes that most American sports, the officials are afraid of claims from Russian athletes filed in the court of arbitration for sport in Lausanne, and in the courts of General jurisdiction. Claims on protection of honor, dignity, business reputation, and demands to compensate moral and material damages for missing the Olympics promise to be a real hell for us officials. After all, in the ordinary courts, on them lies the responsibility to prove their accusations, and any reference to “secret witnesses” and the machinations of the FSB will not help. And claims it is possible to present not only the WADA as an organization, but also certain of its employees, experts and attorneys, who in interviews has said enough to them dragged through the courts to get compensation for the rest of my life. And compensation can be very different, for example, for the loss of Russian athletes benefit from advertising contracts.
To some it may seem silly or even ridiculous, the idea of upholding justice in the European or American courts, but I would ask you to remember that the idea is to appeal against the decision of the Dutch court to pay shareholders of Yukos $ 50 billion, too, seemed ridiculous. Funny it was exactly to the moment when the appeal of Russia has approved. Now lawyers for the Yukos shareholders withdrew their lawsuits in Germany and the UK, as has already realized the futility of further confrontation. Can recall the recent decision of the Stockholm arbitration, which in the conflict between Gazprom and Lithuania sided with Russian companies despite the fact that European policy is supported by Lithuania, and the case against “Gazprom” was clearly political. And, you can recall the case of “Rosatom” V. Bulgaria, in which Russian state-owned company has won compensation for the canceled contract for the construction of a nuclear power plant, which was forbidden to build the European Union. So successful experience of using foreign ships we have, and now most importantly how to use it, giving our athletes and sports federations with services of the best lawyers and start legal hunting for the specific officials of WADA. They are afraid of, so, this is what you need to do. After the Olympics and the final decision of sports arbitration in Lausanne to expect filing a series of claims from Russian athletes. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on this topic.
The second important element of revenge must be the deprivation of a monopoly on the WADA doping control and determining what is and what is not doping. And it turns out that Americans use an analog Meldonium can be, and our is not. And here we have a situational, but very useful allies in the face of the officials of the IOC and the leaders of many sports federations. If you look at the situation from their point of view, it turns out that they’ve wasted climbing up that ladder, nothing was given bribes to obtain positions, and in General they were now pawns in the game of some American lawyers, who arrogated to themselves the right to decide who will and who will not participate in the Olympic games. The officials of the IOC are selected, and brazenly, their main business. They will not forgive. Now , Thomas Bach and his friends make statements that the entire system of doping control it is time to reform, and in this sense, he almost repeats the words of Vladimir Putin, which also requires similar reforms. It may well be that it will support China and other countries that have seen how easy it is to become victims of WADA. Recall that the attempt of the Americans to dismiss the entire Russian team was supported by only 14 countries, and this means that the members of the Olympic movement there is a sufficient number of supporters of the WADA deprivation of its current status. It will hit just the wallet of the American shops, which have been used to receiving money for specific drugs were recognized as “white and fluffy”.
American sports officials already knew what was coming, and trying to reverse. From the latest version of the report, WADA suddenly disappeared letter Rodchenkova, and the head of WADA Craig reedy suddenly said that there is no evidence that the government interfered in the activities of the all-Russian athletics Federation, forgetting their former charges. It’s all good, but later. And let what happens with WADA officials, will serve as a lesson for others. Russian always knew how to settle scores, not only weapons. Americans need to see this again.
