According to the expert, he explained the reasons for his departure in a letter to the acting head of the VFLA, Yulia Tarasenko.
“This was due to the continuing non-transparency of the actions of the VFLA leadership and my disagreement with the decisions made and the actions being taken, so from December 6, I will terminate my powers as vice president and member of the presidency of the VFLA,” TASS Borzakovsky quotes.
The Athens 2004 Olympic champion in the 800m race also explained what actions the VFLA does not agree with. As Borzakovsky noted, the roadmap for eliminating anti-doping rule violations submitted by the VFLA to the Russian Ministry of Sports on Thursday, December 5, was not agreed with the organization’s presidium.
“We were confronted with the fact that it was already handed over, but no one had discussed it with us, in such conditions I can no longer work,” concluded Borzakovsky.
Earlier, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) called for the removal of the coaching staff of the Russian national track and field athletics team led by Borzakovsky.
