All the jokes were over. We seem to be ostracized from decent society. Drive vzashey and kicks. All. Right or wrong. Great and unknown. Tainted and spotlessly clean. Russian sports as from the beginning of the disclosure, the doping of the system predicted by the “Novaya Gazeta”, is actually outlawed. It is necessary to understand three things — who is going to perform at the Olympics in Rio, from Russia, left us a clean segments and what will happen to the world football championship-2018.

Sochi snow-white uniform had morphed into something composed of spots. The pillar has not yet collapsed completely, but the roll is not corrected. It was a shock, compared to which the removal of the athletes from the Olympic Rio — so, a trifle, pustakawan.

The head of the Commission for the investigation of allegations of the ex-head of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory of Gregory Rodchenkov Richard McLaren at a press conference in Toronto was hitting a backhand and at the most painful places. We are still in may, at the first sign of thunder suggested that to undermine the entire system of Russian sport enough and tenth of, as reported by the fugitive Professor.

And the Commission McLaren actually confirmed all the charges, making the conclusion that foul play Russian sports officials were for a long time, and on behalf of the state. More — the state people, of course, knew. And not just knew. Doping, since it does not, called to serve, forgive, the Fatherland. Such cynicism in the history of world sport is not reached and nobody has.

You know? No one ever. They’re not the world’s sporting community has been deceived. They stole from us, using athletes as a tool of influence. In their naturally order. Under the PR about the greatness of Russia.

It is a crime, the true scale of which we don’t even realize. “The court can not prove at this time will not be enough.

…Holy Inquisition, too, didn’t bother with evidence. And the actions of the world anti-doping Agency (WADA) is very reminiscent of the memorable times. All the way. And Grigory Rodchenkov, no matter how it is praised McLaren as a witness, definitely trustworthy, I have sympathy for, frankly, not causes. Well, and I was awarded the Professor with the order, I didn’t call him a genius of sports medicine and sang praises to him. Not I finally contributed to the escape of a disgraced dangerous witness in the US — but was obviously someone to assist.

Rodchenkova except that the wings are not colored — but Grigory Mikhailovich was the axis of the system fiddling with the samples and other outrages. According to the findings of the Commission of the McLaren, she reacted favorably to the explanation of the person involved: they, that is all the Russian anti-doping services were forced to cheat. They say, were not free, under the hood of the intelligence services. And were forced to withdraw into the Champions specially appointed people, positive samples which is specifically substituted. Night, secretly, with the help of special technology and with the assistance of the FSB and under the control of officials of the Ministry of sports.

The evidence base for such monstrous conclusions, I confess, is rather weak. Documenting the fact of participation of special services and government officials in the organization of the system of fraud is unlikely. It is ridiculous to think that Lubyanka will kindly open the door and talk about how glorious representatives successfully duped people. What the Ministry admits that almost all of our Sochi (not just Sochi) victory is the fruit of successful operation under the code name “Wall of holes”.

I believe that Grigory M. Rodchenkov was very convincing as a whistleblower of their own outrages. I believe that he was able to somehow justify his testimony concerning the activities of Russian high-ranking schemers. Think a lot of these charges is easy enough to dismiss — whether a little that can tell a story “the defector”.

But the fact that the vials were opened and replaced, found confirmation. And this is not fiction, but fact. And it happened in Sochi lab, whose work during the Games-2014 was recognized as a model, and accordingly was marked. What was done before, when there was close monitoring? Can you imagine what Russia “did” their Champions…

Following this logic, the Commission and untangled the knots. And higher authorities only developed and strengthened the conclusions according to which the suspect was the entire Russian elite sport. According to this logic,

in Russia the “pure” can remain only by chance — unlike the rest of the world, where random just violations of anti-doping legislation.

Because only in Russia is the state system, and everyone, wittingly or unwittingly — part of it.

Cruel? Yes, of course. Totally — Yes, of course. Unfair to all the crowd — no doubt. Not without a political component — that’s probably right.

But, by and large, the reasons Russia gave too much. And not by chance the International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach called the incident shocking and unprecedented attack “on the purity of the sport and the Olympic games.” Assuring that “the IOC will not hesitate to take the most severe sanctions in respect of individuals and entire organizations.” Friendship is friendship, assurances assurances and will have to answer.

Not the FSB, of course. There’s also some knights without fear and reproach, the defenders of the Motherland. What urine, what tubes, what “Champions do”? Are you talking about?

But the Deputy Minister of sports Yuri Nagornykh, just in case dismissed — until the investigation is completed. I wonder just what of the investigation? That which recognizes that Russia is led and leads a merciless fight against doping? And only?

Meanwhile the Russian team, now at full strength, flies by Rio. And all we’re passing. Not yet realizing that this is only the first, albeit unprecedented, blow.

The country is deprived of the last illusions. Sport is not only in the service of power he’s carries a huge charge of purity, childlike emotions. Or have carried in the past tense? Not wadowska Inquisition deprive us of childhood, although it is my hand.

Our distinguished, our family brought the Russian team to handle. But don’t expect confessions and remorse. They will not.

Not on those attacked. Indeed — not at those.
