The second thing – I always stressed that armwrestling must adapt to all the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Agency, as most sports organizations. In particular, the requirements of SportAccord. Igor Mazurenko clearly written about this in several articles.
Professional and amateur armwrestling should recognize anti-doping rules, because otherwise there is no chance that we will have to take so seriously, as indeed it is necessary.
It is obvious!
However, dear reader, you should remember that you must take into consideration the procedure of tests passing. In fact, a process before, during and after the doping test procedure, how athlete see it.
At international competitions, such as the European Championship in 2013 in Lithuania, in Druskininkai, it was painful to look at this situation. Saw you or not – you need to know.
Awarding of the winners in the category. Flags, medals, the anthem, congratulations ... Players coming off the pedestal but they do not fall into the hugs of fans – some of them are "selected" for doping control.
They sit in a separate sector, next to the stage, pull the card and wait for their turn to the controller to go to the toilet... I know what it should look like, but the procedure seemed unworthy to me.
I felt uncomfortable that the same man, who had just listened to his national anthem, is escorted to the toilet as a smuggler at the border.
Again, I know that such a procedure, but it is very unpleasant to look!
But as I always tried – for other media or in conversation – say to all: WADA is neither the Vatican nor the UN, nor even the Supreme Court. WADA structure is full of defects!
As in most cases, we focused on the technology of anti-doping rather than its effectiveness! Officials take money for "waste" time rather than for effective work.
Therefore, I believe that it’s impossible to believe verdicts WADA blindly.
