'Don't give Russia free pass': whistleblower lawyers

The Hindu  

Lawyers for doping whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov on Tuesday called for the International Olympic Committee to take a hardline stance against Russia after a World Anti-Doping Agency panel recommended a four-year ban. In a statement, attorneys Jim Walden and Avni Patel said Russian efforts to falsify data handed over to WADA investigators were part of a “predictable and deplorable policy of deception.” “The Kremlin must think the people of the world are idiots to believe this shameless and transparent stunt,” the lawyers said. RELATED| Russian athletics officials suspended for obstructing doping investigation “WADA should be applauded for revealing Russia's latest crime, but if the IOC and the international sports regulatory framework gives Russia yet another free pass, other countries will simply follow in their footsteps.” Walden and Patel represent Rodchenkov, the former head of Russia's anti-doping laboratory who is living in hiding in the United States after lifting the lid on the drugs scandal in 2015. RELATED| WADA seeks four-year Russia ban over false doping data “Governments across the world need to enact powerful legislation that squarely criminalizes doping fraud in order to put a stop to this kind of dangerous criminal behavior,” the lawyers said.
