T&Fwatch 6 Posted July 30, 2016 #836 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Seppelt just mentioned in Sportschau that Putin said on Wednesday in Kreml that all athletes (even if they have been banned) are seen as Olympic champions. This means they get 4M Rubel (about 50k $) and Seppelt implies that this is the reason why only Morozov went to CAS by now. So he thinks IOC pays cash to avoid the appeals!

De_Gambassi 896 Posted July 30, 2016 #838 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) il y a 25 minutes, T&Fwatch a déclaré: Seppelt just mentioned in Sportschau that Putin said on Wednesday in Kreml that all athletes (even if they have been banned) are seen as Olympic champions. This means they get 4M Rubel (about 50k $) and Seppelt implies that this is the reason why only Morozov went to CAS by now. So he thinks IOC pays cash to avoid the appeals! Makes sense really. It was reported earlier this week by the Times that the Russians came up with idea, sacrificing allready convicted dopers in the hope to avoid a blanket ban. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/russias-dirty-swap-deal-for-place-in-rio-bxz0mf8z3 Russia was also probably reassuring that no Russians will wome to CAS (hence the 4M rubel). But, I don't see why the IOC would have pay for it, most likely it's russian taxpayer's money. Edit: did they mentioned during the show the supposed appeal by the russian weightlifting federation ?

JoshMartini007 2,229 Posted July 30, 2016 #839 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Banning ex-dopers now makes a bit of sense if this is true. It would have been the easiest reverse decision the CAS would have ever made, of course they can't make that decision unless someone appeals.

And we here in Russia, I want to assure you that we are here, in Russia, will be on our athletes leading watch as the winners of the Olympic Games with all the consequences of the administrative and material nature" words of support that have been part of his speech.
