The International Olympic Committee waited a long time and finally published a list of criteria according to which before the Games many Russian athletes were not allowed. It's amazing that this document was published by the organization after a series of scandalous exclusions, although it would be logical to do this in advance to facilitate the life of athletes and federations. The head of the special commission Valerie Fournonon stressed that there are a lot of criteria, but even this list is incomplete. "The list on the basis of which the commission made decisions covers a wide range of data. It is extensive, but not exhaustive, "she added.. At the same sports functionary said that every case of possible doping was considered separately and completely anonymously. In total in the published document of 17 criteria. The athlete will not be admitted exactly if his name appears on the list of the special commission of Oswald and McLaren, and also if he was caught for using doping earlier. Also, athletes can not count on a trip if there are scratches or various machinations with urine and blood tests in their test tubes. A special point concerns the list of Gregory Rodchenkov. If the informer WADA at least somehow, even indirectly hinted at a certain person, then he immediately gets on the pencil of the IOC and already, most likely, will watch the Olympics on TV at home. Other criteria look pretty convincing: a list of steroids and other serious drugs. The international organization also clarified the situation with the Russian flag. On the eve of the media reported that all the attributes of our country in the stands will be banned during the Games, but this information was not confirmed, according to "Sport Express". "The demonstration of the flag of the country, in which there is a recognized national Olympic committee, on the part of individual fans and sports fans can not be banned, even if this national Olympic Committee is suspended," the message says.. Also, the commission stressed that they will not allow any provocations against Russia and will strictly monitor this and severely punish violators. For the athletes, however, the unhappy news came. A source in the Russian Olympic Committee said that all athletes who participated in the Games in Sochi will be removed from the competition.

"The worst variant is if from the list of Russian Olympians all the athletes who took part in the 2014 Games in Sochi are struck out, and this is quite an impressive list. This is the athletes, and coaches, "- quotes his newspaper" Izvestia ". At the same time, under the "reduction" will fall and those who have never been noticed in the admission of banned drugs. Thus, Russia can lose more than half of its leaders in different sports. Before the start of the Olympic Games there are about two weeks, but there is no clarity in many issues.
