National anti-doping center of Ukraine will support the likely disqualification of the national team of Russia with the upcoming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“NADZ wants to join the anti-doping agencies in the countries, which advocated the removal of the Russian Federation from participation in the XXXI Olympic games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
An independent investigation by the world anti-doping Agency proved that the Ministry of sports of Russia with the assistance of the Russian secret services deliberately violated the fundamental principles of the Olympic movement, the Olympic Charter and the code of ethics for WADA. The Russian government due to the state doping program helped their athletes achieve top results for many years,” reads the letter
The national anti-doping center of Ukraine, signed by the Director of the organization Ivan Carlemalm.
Previously, the removal of Russia from the Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro supported the anti-doping committees of the United States, Austria, Canada, Spain, Germany, Denmark, New Zealand, Egypt, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Japan, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
