Of course, in Russia, after the national team is ousted from the Olympics, the WADA informer, the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, has a special "gratitude" to one of the main heroes of the doping scandal..

It is so great that, according to the media, the manager of the Russian national skiing team Yuri Charkovsky, said in an interview with TV2 that he regrets that this man managed to carry out his plans when he tried several years ago to settle his life. "This person, Rodchenkov, wanted to commit suicide in 2011 - sad that he did not succeed in this. As a result, he is alive, his name is now well known, although I have never heard of him before the Olympics in Sochi, "said the 76-year-old sports official. Note that this is said by a man who has been working as a manager of the national team for almost 30 years, and before that he coached. No less warm feelings are felt for the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory and the president of the Russian Biathlon Union (UBR), Alexander Kravtsov, whom Rodchenkov slandered, stating his involvement in the falsification of doping tests of Russian athletes at the Sochi Olympics. The head of the RRF said that he could not communicate with the role of the WADA informer playing the fatal for the team, if only because he could not get behind the fence behind which the laboratory was located, at that time Rodchenkov was there - none of the sports specialists were simply not allowed there. Ex-head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, whom he compared with the octopus Paul, according to Kravtsov moved greed for profit. "Remember, was there such an octopus Paul? Rodchenkov reminded me very much now.

For lack of opportunity to get a specific payment, he comes up with more and more new characters. What was he silent for two years? ", - said the president of the Russian Biathlon Union to the publication" Sport-Express ".

And this characteristic of Rodchenkov is still very mild considering the damage he inflicted on the reputation of the national sport. Honorary President of the Russian Olympic Committee Leonid Tyagachyov and does believe that a man who is now called otherwise, as a snitch WADA, deserves more. "We have one enemy of the people - Rodchenkov. He was so entrusted with the Ministry of Sport, and neither the ROC nor the federation knew about it.

But all this we will discuss at the meeting of the committee on December 12. Probably, there is no need to blame the Olympic Committee and federations for anything. All the evil was connected with our anti-doping laboratory, which was headed by Rodchenkov. Who believed him, and who gave him everything? Now the analysis of this is at the highest level, "- quotes Tyagachev HCH.

Through the efforts of Grigory Rodchenkov and other ill-wishers of Russia, the IOC deprived the Russian national team of the right to compete at the Olympics on December 5 as a national team - with its flag and anthem. "Clean athletes," not involved in the doping scandal, still be able to go to Pyeongchang, but they will perform under a neutral flag in the team of "Olympic athletes from Russia".
