So benign and athletes are stuck there not allowed to take any medications actual performance enhancers stimulants and accountable of steroids make up just a tiny fraction of this list that there are only a few items that nobody ever uses anymore and i think that a doubling doubling their plate then yes all these doping scandals are actually around regular pharmaceutical drugs and i mean the such as for example. Some we are keeping out of. But i know what im not really an athlete or you know with me but i like jogging in the winter as well and you might i dont understand how a person can work out without taking something to boost their immune system i mean their demands are rather supplements but you are a very experienced terrorists lead for major achievements such and if you think it is possible to train really hard for the olympics weve got be taking any pharmaceutical drugs you take you from. If im fifty three of the deal of those two opinions well the thing is no normal person including me can live without medications but there are some pharmaceutical drugs that i have to be on constantly for various Health Issues its the same for other people i spend in professional sports it is impossible to survive without medications because athletes work extremely hard often overdo it they get injured they also get sick with the flu the common code. In one thousand submit just like everybody else is just in the so quite obviously it is impossible not to take anything. But there are certain examples for the time when the thoughts are noncompeting that even though its in the if a person is tested at home or somewhere else is that you know i think when there is no competition going on they have to write down everything they are taking at the moment and so with the skill to treat a certain sickness or injury or something else. During competitions it is best of the effort doesnt take anything at all should you see sitting in the lights because any painkillers any had a drugs or even a coffee can get them in trouble that will get us blue new be like for example we had a situation when track and field outlets were disqualified after drinking a single cup of strong and tell him coffee that because because of there are no train szell enough catherine is not allowed it is on the list as well so the situation is critical and it is getting im healthy and something needs to be done about it no or that sexual or the most difficult thing to figure out what should be done at the stand out problem faces all countries or any of the facts micha youve shared your opinion in the russian media. Before the International OlympicCommittee Ruling was a public debate in our country about the status russian matthews should take what im about and if they were not allowed to compete on. The russian flag that was additional was to buy in the end they did what you recommended actually and you say no matter what is it he asked leave to go to the. Store and. Many disagreed with you more such as dont know why do you think they held a different tell you what you know truth like our athletes have pressed from all sides not just internationally but also at home. They dont always get support here why you community the growth of a prodigious rides. Well yes after i voiced my opinion that many people expressed their support by specially those who know this issue very well. But there were others whose reaction was extremely negative evil willis told me horrible me and i dont understand why i deserve this i was just trying to explain the situation using my own experience i had been there i competed under the state flag that i listen to my country and i didnt get to go to the one nine hundred eighty four olympics so i know how it feels and i understand the situation very well mr chen saw it through and through because its so thats not all over you were his words russian t. V. Guide so lets watch a clip from ground where you voice your opinion before the International OlympicCommittee Ruling committee that. It is easy to be patriotic someone elses expense sitting on the couch and yelling about the flag we have one big problem in our country we value symbols to much but yes they are important here and i am someone whos been there the state flag was raised the anthem was played in my honor and i had goose bumps but in two years nothing has been done to make sure that the slack can be raised that the olympics so it is complicated thats true were not thinking about the people but we should in our country we dont think about the people and then this particular case the athletes right now on this program we are failing them all together i can only imagine how theyre watching us right now thinking am i a traitor whats going to happen to me now do you understand and i dont think that they are traitors to traders or those who did nothing in the past two years to make sure the team russia goes to the olympics with its flag and sent them you know id like to thank you for that statement and its very encouraging for our athletes and fans to hear the using words norm i think this is more than your point of view as an athlete i think it is also your position as a citizen of russia what you spoke about before was the choice between the flag and the individual which in a tragic choice that is all too familiar to the russian people but these times the choice was made in favor of hour after night sort of negus actually highest level of the russian authorities at decision was taken to support our athletes wish to come indeed under a neutral just laxative when do you consider to be in a sense in mind a victory for a country with a not maybe in terms of overcoming itself and its past the next day i was in fact extremely happy to hear the president say that the government would not be announcing any sort of barriers and what not be impeding the participation of the athletes and that the state would support them as much as possible and that no one would be saying that these athletes are sponsors and all will live as they trained at the expense of other. Rely on other support to go to the olympics when you first and foremost they will represent not only themselves and i will be making a strong case for that and there are a lot of people who should also be given credit is that if i received a great many comments in social media regarding the money that should have been given to doctors and teachers and all these athletes and heres what i want to say what is it really the case that a coach is not a different kind of she turns even the already and say yes godless a folk you patient will course always know our own ass knew exactly so many people work with every athlete in this situation doesnt mean that now we should throw them all in the trash the output is just a front because in any case this is not how you treat your team members so was glad to know that were going to the olympics after all and that our athletes will receive the necessary support and you know why one reason is that some people say they want to put us down and this is why we should not be going there as a matter of principle not that i agree that we should be acting out of principle but in a different the opposite way really to say want to humiliate us so that we wont go to and i as in that with a true fighting spirit you think we must go in spite of it out of principle paints a new one thousand just to annoy them. Yell and theyve given it to me i mean it is still brings me a question i wanted to ask you about as i see that and i want a way or another russia will have to work with the World Antidoping Agency one of them so the russians leadership including the president says that we intend to go to games being keep the republic we acknowledge we have some issues even though its not always entirely clear when we should be shooting we have indeed to acknowledge that but with this is something the government could be more transparent about if i didnt if going of the stumbling blocks right you know whether russia except defining. Joking Agency Reports and their league ation that russia had a state sponsored doping assisted architect cut we should those who through the russian situation weve been told the potential ramifications for russia swards if then the countries refutation then did. Still standing what stands should we take care of that i see is that a visual. Coverdell somebody buys you. From a National Youth our position is clear there has never been and there can never be any state sponsored doping system and russia as for the specific cases of b. D. S. They are no different from regular criminal activities like corruption that you encounter in every other area of human life and there have always been people who break the law and we have to oppose them rush acknowledges this and we have done a lot over the last two years that unlike the i. O. C. And others the walling wont get done and not a single if you show has lost his office seen it true but if you look at the attitudes towards doping among the athletes themselves that they have changed dramatically and a lot has been done us by the way this is something that the has of other National Teams ought to do this well because they themselves have had a huge number of doping scandals and antidoping rule violations but ill say it again there has never been and never will be any state sponsored doping system in russia and our government is right in denying the satch ization this is exactly why we have to go to the olympics because we have been falsely accused if our paralympic athletes remain banned from the early weeks this year and next year but i just because russia refuses to accept the findings of the report do you think that would be unfair to them deal of the thing is as of now and ill speak about the Paralympic Team in a moment refused to accept the findings of the report and the part that pertains to High Performance sports and becoming a limpid games but if we look at the i. O. C. Report and all of the accusations and demands within it and we have to stick with it they would say that it says that once russia meets all the requirements of its our athletes will be able to stand on that the russian flag at the closing ceremony and we will be able to completely restore status and iraq should be it if there is yes but thats the International Olympic committee yes they i. O. C. Its different when it comes to paralympic. So to conclude my point about the i. See we have to win back our right to bear the flag since the government has been unable to do anything over the last two years it is up to the athletes rushy and once we restore our rights we will be able to participate in the twenty twenty Tokyo Olympics under our own flag starting from the Opening Ceremony but now as for the paralympic athletes but i think this is another challenge to overcome to be frank i have a problem with the way our government has been dealing with the issue of the maybe some of the officials in the in the president are not receiving complete and honest reports on the matter the truth is theres a lot we can do by invoking villain pick charter and all other sports related documents in order to resolve the problem through legal means but two years have passed and nothing has been done nothing is being done still that there are so many ways to go forward and restore the status quo we can go so far as to sue all those organizations but i didnt ask for the paralympic athletes we must fight for their rights in fact it was two years ago that we should have started doing something putting aside the problems facing the current Paralympic Team that i hope they wont be too angry with me now it was good as it was then that we had to stand our ground but nothing was done to let our athletes were forgotten and dismissed and everybody expected the problem to medically vanish the show and now were back at the start with no guarantee that our efforts will be able to compete we need to have the highest authority in our country to stand up for a fellow athletes to pick a person wasnt. Well we have to take a very short break now but well be back in just a few moments statement. Oh does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world its as close to being a king is any job there is Good Business model helps to run a prison now we do it over. Nobody you know visitation i dont no one comes anymore we dont have to serve them anymore its Cost Effective thats what they want to do that low and they dont give a damn if you do the chores and that theyre actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the usa in breach what she could is behind such success. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets to trillion United States dollars passed through most. In the amount of time that weve been in Panama Papers exposure thats what it shows a lot of money it really is. Journalism its an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. Millions of most fonseca dont humans were examined. Me all the people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this thought it was just paper. And probably other politician which was stuff other politicians the media were quick to find their targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. And russian president Vladimir Putin of course. Oh my god ive had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things dont just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more americans to go specially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china their special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. Of the panama chronicles. Welcome back to worlds apart with the chance russias triple jump Gold Medalist at the ninety ninety five world indoor championships open no doubt the. National teams only i also have to put some effort into cleaning up the sport so to speak because its no secret that some National Teams have a fairly large number of athletes with chronic conditions sent to describe each scheme is a believer and while preparing for the scene to view i looked at some days hurriedly with the cant according to the university of kent Professor John dickinson seventy percent of british swimmers and sixty percent of skiers of have asked but i knew that because if we take britain as a whole only twelve per cent of the population have asthma. Of either asthma patients have an amazing aptitude for olympic sports or olympic sports course that which i think we can agree isnt great but which to sink is more likely it was just sitting on lies of course still officially get the green light to use the banned substances that are on the list because its just a sham and its unfair to those people who are not allowed to take them. Just so we all understand even you both who dont do star sports is swimming and skiing a little doing sports you cant cause as rents no of course not tons of people in other National Teams including the russian team dont have as much they are doing just fine they win medals they ski and shoot and theres nothing wrong with their health by the way they were cases when cold air did lead to several of our athletes experiencing asthma like symptoms in National Call i did to fix that usually but back then it was back in the soviet days or rather the transitional period from the u. S. S. R. To russia or skiing and biathlon officials try to. To the International Federation for therapeutic use exemptions that athletes from norway and finland had for example because if someone uses drugs that open up their ways on the lungs why cant other teams do it to a brackets and is not a i mean if they can use this drug so why cant we do it what do you know what the answer was if they have a condition they shouldnt do sports its a sport heres what id like to know why didnt they refuse new region and finish athletes so they can continue to do sport and the rest should just quit or join the current that movement that simply astonishing im not even talking about american gymnast and swimmers we know all about that. Because i was just going to ask you about another condition thats why its thread among western massachusetts of at this in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or a dea agent i started in the United States and from my own experience i know that its easy to do get diagnosed with it before exams many students just fake the symptoms and it is drug addicted significantly improves your concentration and your experience here at the spa so theres nobody up im sure that its all legal because the diagnostic of true shes very different seemed to be so what can you do about it because the vision is because if you can just contact the u. S. Department of health and tell them theyre not being very responsible about how they diagnose these conditions little got most excuse there anything you can do to experience them or not if you need to the problem in the woods is a paycheck well thats another interesting is surely a lot more so with that we could probably apply for a therapeutic use exemption for those assets who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder you know well we all sort of have at certain times but if anyone from other National Teams including russia actually tries to do that theyll be shut down immediately in the wooded thats why no one asks the all no they wont be allowed out of the i cant understand why its allowed there if a person suffers from such a serious condition then they. Considered a serious one of they prescribe such strong drugs but i remember the american gymnast yes simone biles yes im on dial she said i have a serious condition so i have to take it well if its so serious which to paralympics or its there are no restrictions there there are a per libyans with prophetic body parts to run and jump and so one of her till i was just going to say marcus ram by the german athlete who like you competes in the long jump events discovered but it was denied permission to participate in the real lympics. And rules that hes pro ceases shit that regarded him with
