“He is a very active person and, as far as I can understand from communication with him and those events, he really wanted to correct the situation. But now, when there are a lot of scandals and various news around him, the situation really needs to be reset to zero. Another question is that now there is another concern of WADA and we need to work in close contact. Probably, this decision was brewing. Let's see who will be in his place, ”Sport24 quotes Guberniev.
In his opinion, RUSADA should continue a clear anti-doping campaign and restore its positions at the international level.
“It's hard to say if it will be better. It wouldn't be worse. Once again I want to say: there have been too many contradictions lately, so this dismissal was brewing, "Guberniev added.
RUSADA fired Ganus following the decision of the founders of the organization - the Russian Olympic Committee and the Russian Paralympic Committee.
The Supervisory Board of RUSADA passed a vote of no confidence in the head of the organization, Yuri Ganus, who headed the agency since August 2017, after violations in the financial and economic activities of the organization were identified based on the results of the audit.
Earlier Maria Lasitskene thanked Ganus for his work at RUSADA.
