“Until now, only one such lawsuit was filed against WADA and McLaren - from three cyclists, which is still pending. The wave will not go, because litigation in Canada, as in other countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal system, is very expensive and protracted. Athletes will turn gray until it comes to hearings, not to mention the debriefing, ”said Pacev in an interview with RT.
According to him, only the initial investment in the trial is about $ 300 thousand. Therefore, WADA, while in Canada, feels quite calm.
"The agency constantly urged Russian athletes to go to court, but they were well aware that Russian athletes simply did not have such an opportunity," he added.
Earlier, the author of the lawsuit to McLaren told why he decided to go to court with a group of domestic athletes.
