"Yes. We clearly followed the roadmap developed by the WADA Executive Committee. They passed the LIMS database, raw files, biological samples that they pointed to. We offered to participate in the investigation, at each meeting we reported that we were ready for cooperation, but this was rejected. At each meeting, we said that we were ready for cooperation. As a result, having fulfilled all our obligations, we got such a result, ”Blazheev said in an interview with RT.
He also expressed hope that at the WADA executive committee at a meeting on December 9 he would hear the position of the Russian side and be able to make an objective decision, weighing all the evidence.
“If it is not in our favor, I think RUSADA will not agree, then WADA will be forced to go to the Sports Arbitration Court. I hope that he will figure it out, give us the opportunity to get acquainted with all the materials and make reasoned conclusions. Therefore, there is hope that Russia will win this case in court. We are all very worried, because history repeats itself before the Olympics, which in itself is very strange. Athletes may be without a flag. For children, this is a very strong emotional blow that can affect the results, ”Blazheev added.
Earlier, Blazheev expressed the opinion that WADA experts did not see or did not understand something, having examined the data from the Moscow laboratory.
