The Russian Paralympic Committee will have to transfer to the International Paralympic Committee (IGC) an amount of half a million euros for admission of athletes to the Games-2018 in Pyeongchang, while the membership of the PRC in the international organization remains suspended. "So far no specific invoices have been issued. They collect these accounts and will soon present. In general, according to preliminary forecasts, the amount will be about € 500 thousand. ", - told RNS the first vice-president of the PCR, Pavel Rozhkov. Russia's membership in the IPC was suspended in August 2016.
After Richard McClaren's report on doping in Russian sports. Then the team of the Paralympic team was dismissed from the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. To thaw the membership of the RCC, the international organization exposed dozens of conditions, including financial. Russia was ordered to pay € 250 thousand. annually in the period of the removal of the national committee and then another € 125 thousand. within three years after the restoration of the rights. In addition, the PCR was entrusted with the payment of all expenses of the IPC related to this situation, including tickets for travel of the IPC commission, payment of hotels to it, work of lawyers on its part. Additional doping tests that required athletes to pass were also hung on the RCC. I must say that the efforts of the PCR did not take place for nothing. Russian Paralympic athletes allowed to participate in the Games-2018. But the committee itself has not yet been restored.
As the head of the PCR Vladimir Lukin said earlier, the national committee executed 65 of the 67 points of the roadmap for the restoration of membership. The item on the recognition of the accusations of the McLaren Commission that there is a state system of doping in the country, as well as an item concerning the resumption of the full-fledged activity of the Russian Anti-Doping Laboratory (RUSADA), remained unfulfilled,. Until this is done, the IPC will "cut" hundreds of thousands of euros from Russia annually. Do not say anything, it's convenient.
