“To allow Russia to avoid a complete ban on participating in competitions is another crushing blow to“ pure ”athletes, the“ integrity ”of sports and the rule of law. And, in turn, the reaction of all those who value sport should be nothing more than an uprising against this broken system in order to force reform, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, the WADA executive committee decided to remove Russia from participating in major international competitions for fraud with data from the Moscow laboratory.
Later it became known that Russia will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne to appeal the decision of WADA on suspension.
