Unlike at the World Cup the doping procedure wasn't anonymous there. They saw her name and they had a full access to her test. Like it wasn't enough Olga Vilukhina stole her silver in Sochi. It's almost midnight in Ostersund but some people in our federation are already shocked & speechless. Absolutely despicable. Knowing this, it’s far more likely they’ll be banned, I think.

But I know the Russians were quite desperate to win in that season. So I wouldn’t necessarily put it past them. Surely some of the proof can be established 100%?

The previous words of Rodchenkov have been already proven by Oswald & Schmid commissions so these words sound persuasive enough. If I understood right he's got hand-written notes from the officials which he handed to journalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander 53 Posted December 3, 2017 Author #157 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) The president of Ukrainian biathlon federation said that it was a true shock for them. He understands the reason behind all of that. A LOT of money were spent on the Olympics, they craved for medals no matter what. He said that he doesn't believe that the president of Russian biathlon federation was involved or their exec director but he believes that it could be done by Russian officials from the ministry & infamous Moscow laboratory. He also hinted that our biathletes will not visit any competitions in Russia. Edited December 3, 2017 by Xander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote For me this season, in all probability, will be the last. I will finish after the Olympic Games, or maybe some time in the relay I will help the girls.
