DOPING I RUSLAND

I denne uge udelukkede IOC Rusland fra at stille op til vinter-OL i Pyeongchang i februar. Det skyldes Ruslands omfattende og statsstøttede dopingprogram, men FIFA har ikke reageret på udelukkelsen eller på dopingprogrammets tidligere chef Grigorij Rodtsjenkovs afsløring af, at fodboldspillere hos den kommende VM-vaert også har vaeret en del af affaeren.

The idea that Russia’s (or anybody’s) soccer team couldn’t have doped because they haven’t been successful is one of the dumber things I’ve heard in a long time. 5. december 2017 klokkken 20.26

IOC’s decision to ban #Russia from Winter @Olympics is a welcome step in serving justice to #Putin’s gov’t for its elaborate doping scheme. @FIFA should add this to the list of reasons why @FIFAWorldCup should not be held in Russia.

Which is more corrupt: the IOC or FIFA?

Lawyer for Russian doping whistleblower Rodchenkov replied: “Which family is more deadly, the Gambinos or the Bonannos?”
