The issue of imposing personal restrictive measures against anti-doping officials will be considered on December 12 at a special meeting of the Federation Council. In addition to senators will be attended by Russian athletes, deputies and diplomats. The upper house was informed that the decision on sanctions was not spontaneous - such an idea arose even before the announcement of the verdict of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) about the Russian team's non-admission to the Winter Olympics-2018. The development of a response against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) against our Olympians has been on the agenda for a long time, the head of the Federation Council Commission for the Protection of State Sovereignty and Prevention of Interference in Internal Affairs Andrei Klimov said in an interview with Izvestia.. "As professional people work against Russia, we need to think carefully about the steps to be taken. We know that representatives of the United States have talked with foreign diplomats and public figures, literally nasmkivaya that they used sports subjects against us.

People who pushed for this decision have nothing to do with sports. We must bring them to God's light and show clearly that this decision is not about sport. They need to be taken to clean water and deal with them, "- said the senator. Klimov saw a geopolitical plot that most WADA member states are members of NATO, although the alliance represents only one-tenth of the world's population. Management posts in the organization are also given entirely to representatives of the bloc countries: WADA president is the British Craig Reedy, the vice-president is Norwegian Linda Helleland. Among 38 members of the supreme body of WADA, which takes all major decisions, there is not a single representative of Russia. "Agree, a very strange proportion. I do not claim that each of them works as a secret agent of the North Atlantic Alliance, but in practice, it turns out that way. Yesterday, our diplomats and media-"foreign agents" suffered from their actions, and today - the Olympians.

All these are different platforms that are used by NATO countries in order to push Russia back, "the politician is convinced. Klimov's colleagues in the ward share his anger. According to Vladimir Jabarov, deputy chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federation Council, the WADA leadership showed its true identity. "This organization and some of its leaders play by double or even triple rules, encouraging some and discrediting others. There were scandals with athletes from the United States and Great Britain, but WADA all brought to nothing, "he said.. According to the publication, in addition to the issue of personal sanctions against the leaders of WADA at the meeting of the Federation Council, the issue of termination of financing of the organization. Thus, it remains unclear whether our country is going to comply with the IOC orders to pay $ 15 million to develop an independent system of doping control, as well as to compensate WADA expenses for an anti-doping investigation against the Russian Federation.

IOC declared disqualification of the Russian Olympic Committee on December 5 because of anti-doping rule violations. Because of this, the team of our country will not be able to participate in the Winter Olympics in South Korean Pyeongchang.

Russian Olympians who did not use illegal drugs were allowed to perform at the Olympics under a neutral flag.
