Russia Moves Closer to Sacking Anti-doping Chief Over Alleged Financial Violations

News 18  

The board of Russia's anti-doping agency called on the country's sports authorities on Wednesday to consider firing its director over allegations he presided over serious financial irregularities. Yuri Ganus, who was named director of RUSADA in August 2017, denied the allegations made by Russia's Olympic Committee last month and has portrayed them as a political attack on his agency and its efforts to clear up Russia's sporting image. Alexander Ivlev, the board's chairman, said it considered the allegations to be true and recommended that the agency's founders, Russia's Olympic and Paralympic committees, consider firing Ganus, the Interfax news agency reported. "The supervisory board's decision today about distrust in RUSADA director general Yuri Ganus and the inexpediency of him remaining in this post, which was adopted almost unanimously, looks unambiguous," Stanislav Pozdnyakov, president of the Olympic Committee, said in a statement.
