surrounding the latest Russian doping scandal that has seriously if not irreparably undermined the credibility of the Olympic Games, according to Olympians, past and present, international sports officials and athletes rights advocates.
The Olympic landscape was marked by fences, barbed wire and workers in hazmat suits. China’s decision to shut off athletes, officials and the media from the rest of country in a so-called closed Olympic loop resulted in a 0.01 percent positive test rate. But China’s measures also drew criticism from athletes and officials.
But by the time Bach finally addressed the issue the IOC, WADA and CAS were already facing mounting charges of revictimizing Valieva and enabling child abuse. It was also pointed out that Bach and other IOC top officials had failed to condemn similar abusive behavior by U.S.
A three-member CAS panel denied a request by the IOC, WADA and the International Skating Union, the sport’s worldwide governing body, to reinstate the suspension following a nearly six hour hearing Monday. The panel cited Valieva’s age, the potential for irreperable harm and the delay in the notification process in making its decision.
The circus, Olympians said, is largely the result of the IOC failing to ban Russian athletes from competing in Olympic Games ever after
