The head of the Olympic Department of Russia (OKR) Stanislav Pozdnyakov said that the advice of the Department for compliance (CRC) world anti-doping Agency (WADA) on the issue of capital data lab is a direct interference in the autonomy of the Olympic movement.

CRC WADA 25 Nov recommended to impose a ban on Russia to hold international competitions for 4 years to prevent a major international competition only "pure" Russian athletes in the neutral status And to deprive the Russian national team play for 4 years under its flag in major tournaments. It was also proposed to introduce a ban on the top leadership of the ROC, including all members of the Executive Committee of the organization to attend And participate in major tournaments for the past 4 years. Meeting of the Executive Committee of WADA will be held on 9 December.

"in the current circumstances, Sophia was forced to give the message on resignation of the member of the Executive Committee OKR. So, there is a direct interference in the autonomy of the Olympic movement. In the current situation of the ROC is to uphold And protect the rights of sportsmen And their members, participants of the Olympic movement by legal means, " - said the head of the ROC.

"Let me remind you that the Executive Committee OKR is composed of distinguished And competent Experts in the field of sport, the heads of national sports federations on the Olympic sports. And the fact that they will not be able to be accredited for the Games in 2020 as opposed to, say, from their partners, which is not represented in the Executive Committee, in our opinion, is extremely illogical measure of retribution from WADA, " - said the head of the ROC.
