Today, FINA has announced that is awarded Russian President Vladimir Putin with the FINA Order. \u00a0This took place at the international conference &#8220;Russia &#8211; A Sport Power&#8221; in Cheboksary, Russia.<\/p>\n<p>This is the highest recognition that FINA can present, and FINA president Dr. Julio Maglione was on hand to present it. \u00a0The Order is presented to &#8220;individuals of high dignitiy, who have achieved remarkable merit in the world of Aquatics.&#8221; \u00a0FINA listed just how many major Aquatics events Russia has hosted in recent years, and that Russia continues to put the time and money into hosting events such as the 2015 World Championships in Kazan next summer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRussia is undoubtedly one of the most important and major powers in world sport. These achievements are only possible thanks to the active support from the Russian authorities to Aquatics. The personal involvement of President Putin in this area greatly contributes to strengthen the fraternity between nations, improve the lifestyle and education of the youth in Russia and promote a healthier society, in a spirit of peace and friendship,&#8221; Maglione said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The award does not come without controversy, considering Russia has been reported to be at risk of being suspended from international competitions due to the large influx of positive doping tests from its swimmers, <a title=\"Yuliya Efimova Banned for 16 Months; Stripped of World Records\" href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/yuliya-efimova-banned-for-16-months-stripped-of-world-records\/\" target=\"_blank\">including former world-record holder Yuliya Efimova<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Russia&#8217;s sports minister Vitaly Mutko told the Russian media that the country was in jeopardy of being punished.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The number of breaches of anti-doping rules in the international arena is on the brink,&#8221; Mutko told Russian media in June. &#8220;One or two more breaches and the federation could be suspended altogether.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>FINA Executive Director Cornel Marculesu, however, deflected the issue when asked about it as he went with a no comment before transitioning over to talking about Russia&#8217;s strong hosting ability.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The facilities are amazing and FINA is receiving a great support from the authorities of the Russian Federation and of the Republic of Tatarstan,&#8221; Marculescu said in June. &#8220;The personal commitment of Mr. Mutko, Russian Minister of Sport, and of Mr. (Rustam) Minnikhanov, President of Tatarstan, are strong guarantees that FINA&#8217;s major event will be a success.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAUSANNE, Switzerland, October 10.
