It was yesterday that Wada announced that they want to hit hard on Russian sports after it emerged that test data had been manipulated by the Russian anti-doping authority Rusada.
The Wada Committee wants no high-ranking Russian politicians to attend next year's Tokyo Olympics.
The ban will apply over the next four years.
The anti-doping organization also wants Russia to be banned from organizing global championships during the time period.
The country should also not be allowed to seek any championship in the meantime and the Olympic Games 2032 may not seek Russia under any circumstances.

Supports the sanctions

In a statement, IOK writes that they thank Wada and the independent forensic experts for their detailed and professional work.
They also react strongly to the manipulation.

"This manipulation is an attack on the credibility of the sport and is an insult to the sports movement worldwide," says ", IOK writes on its website.

"The IOC will support the toughest sanctions against those responsible for this manipulation."

At the same time, the IOK once again requests that the Russian authorities provide the test data on which this case is based. According to the International Olympic Committee, this is still an important issue to ensure that full justice can be shipped in the end. In this way, the suspicion of the new generation of pure Russian athletes can be removed.

The Foreign Minister answers

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov responded Tuesday to Wada's sanctions.

"There are those who want to put Russia in a defensive position and accuse us of virtually everything in international life - such as conflicts, economy, energy, gas pipelines and arms sales," he said at a press conference according to AP.

Wada's proposal will be discussed by the Executive Committee at a meeting in Paris on December 9. Wada's conflict with Russian sport extends since the McLaren Report 2015.
