Additionally, the IPC promised to look into the issue further, and revealed that it had already asked for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the IPC announced that it has begun suspension proceedings against Russia&#8217;s Paralympic Committee. The organization expects to announce if Russia will be banned by the end of the week of August 1st.<\/p>\n<h3>Read the full IPC Press Release below:<\/h3>\n<p>The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has opened suspension proceedings against the National Paralympic Committee of Russia (NPC Russia) following the publication of the McLaren Report on Monday (18 July) and additional information it has since received from the report\u2019s author.<\/p>\n<p>After fully evaluating <strong>Richard McLaren<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cIndependent Person Report\u201d, together with additional data provided to the IPC by the report\u2019s author, the IPC Governing Board on Friday (22 July) ratified a decision to open suspension proceedings against NPC Russia in light of its apparent inability to fulfil its IPC membership responsibilities and obligations.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, in light of the prevailing doping culture endemic within Russian sport, at the very highest levels, NPC Russia appears unable or unwilling to ensure compliance with and the enforcement of the IPC\u2019s Anti-Doping Code within its own national jurisdiction. The IPC considers this vital to ensuring athletes are able to compete on a level playing field.<\/p>\n<p>The suspension of NPC Russia will now be considered in accordance with the IPC Suspension Policy. That process will include, amongst other things, appropriate dialogue with NPC Russia in order to afford them due process and to allow them to present their case.<\/p>\n<p>Following a request to Richard McLaren on Monday (18 July), the IPC has been provided with the names of the Para athletes associated with the 35 \u201cdisappearing positive samples\u201d from the Moscow laboratory highlighted in the report. The IPC is also sending 19 samples from the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games for immediate further analysis, after they were identified by Richard McLaren\u2019s investigation team as having been potentially doctored as part of the sample swapping regime during the Games.<\/p>\n<p>The IPC expects to announce its decision on whether or not it will suspend NPC Russia the week commencing 1 August. Should the NPC be suspended they will have 21 days to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sir Philip Craven<\/strong>, IPC President, said: \u201cThe IPC would like to sincerely thank Richard McLaren for his report which was delivered against an incredibly tight timeline and for the swift turnaround of the additional information we requested from him on Monday. We fully support his request to continue and finalise his work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe report revealed an unimaginable scale of institutionalised doping in Russian sport that was orchestrated at the highest level. McLaren\u2019s findings are of serious concern for everyone committed to clean and honest sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe additional information we have been provided with by Richard McLaren includes the names of the Para athletes associated with the 35 \u201cdisappearing positive samples\u201d from the Moscow laboratory highlighted in the report. We are also urgently following up on Mr. McLaren\u2019s recommendation for 19 samples from the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games to be sent for further analysis, having been identified as part of the sample swapping regime in place during the Games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith regard to NPC Russia, we have started proceedings to consider the suspension of their membership of the IPC. This decision was not taken lightly, but after fully evaluating the \u201cIndependent Person Report\u201d and the additional information we have received, the IPC believes that the current environment in Russian sport &#8211; which stems from the highest levels \u2013 is such that NPC Russia appears unable to fulfil its IPC membership obligations in full.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore making a decision, NPC Russia will have an opportunity to present its case to the IPC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, the IPC is continuing to explore a host of other measures and actions in order to take the strongest possible steps to protect the integrity of Paralympic sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The IPC contributed this report.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the release of the McLaren Report on Monday, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) released a statement\u00a0in which is expressed shock and sadness.
