Today, Bach sent a clear message that the IOC would not stand in the way of any decision, which would be &#8220;mandatory&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"33\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/wada-russia-review-urges-4-more-years-of-sanctions-for-serious-aggravated-non-compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WADA expert panel concluded Russian authorities manipulated a Moscow laboratory database<\/a> &#8211; removing details of positive tests and planting tampered evidence &#8211; before handing it over to investigators in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"34\">When the WADA panel delivered its report and recommendations last week, the IOC called the &#8221;flagrant manipulation &#8220;an insult to the sporting movement&#8217;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"35\">Asked at a news conference after chairing a three-day board meeting on Thursday, if the IOC must accept the WADA executive committee&#8217;s sanction decisions, Bach replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"35\">&#8220;They are mandatory. The\u00a0IOC has in the Olympic Charter accepted the World Anti-Doping Code and if there is a decision being issued, it is mandatory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"40\">One loophole of the WADA recommended sanctions is exemptions allowing Russia to host when &#8221;it is legally or practically impossible&#8221; to strip hosting rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"41\">On Saturday &#8211; after the WADA recommendations were published, and nine days before the pending sanctions decision &#8211; Lausanne-based SportAccord said the May 2021 edition of its week-long convention would be in Ekaterinburg, Russia. That kind of highly politicised event is beyond the scope of WADA sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"42\">As the Associate Press noted today:<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"42\"><em>The four-man SportAccord executive committee includes a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, businessman Arkady Rotenberg, and Francesco Ricci Bitti, a former IOC member who is an Olympic delegate to the WADA ruling panel which decides Russia&#8217;s fate on Monday.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"43\"><em>Bach said any potential conflict of interest for Ricci Bitti would need to be addressed by WADA rules.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"44\"><em>WADA did not immediately respond to a request to clarify Ricci Bitti&#8217;s position.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"45\"><em>In the latest defense of Russian interests on Thursday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the government ordered its sports officials &#8221;to fight for our interests&#8221; in the WADA process.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"46\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/time-for-wada-to-blow-blanket-ban-whistle-on-game-of-russian-roulette-with-clean-sport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">That official position stands in stark contrast to another, <strong>Yuri Ganus<\/strong>, the head of the <strong>Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA),\u00a0<\/strong>has said the expected sanctions &#8221;were to be expected, and they&#8217;re justified.&#8217;<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"52\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The doping sanctions recommended for Russia in the latest fallout in a deep doping scandal systematic in nature and including cheating at an Olympic Games right under the nose of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7532,"featured_media":154790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,1,10],"tags":[893,119764,147,118656,36537,9828,6273],"class_list":["post-405153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-uncategorized","category-world","tag-ioc","tag-mandatory","tag-russia","tag-sanctions","tag-thomas-bach","tag-wada","tag-world-anti-doping-agency"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
