Witold Bañka thunders about Walijewa. “The guilty should sit in prison”

This is one of the worst stories on. 15-year-old Kamia Walijewa became the first competitor in the history of the Olympic Games to make a successful double jump. Thanks to her phenomenal performance, Russian athletes won gold. Or rather: they had to win, because the medal ceremony was not achieved. . The sample was taken on December 25, but the result will not appear until February 8. However, the Russian woman was already at the Olympics then.

Valiyeva was immediately suspended. However, the temporary suspension was lifted by RUSADA, the Russian Anti-Doping Federation. This decision was appealed by the IOC (International Olympic Committee), WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) and ISU (International Olympic Committee).

The final decision was made by CAS. 1st Arbitration Tribunal for Sport. Thus, Walijewa was allowed to take part in the soloists competition. CAS argued its decision by the fact that the matter would not have been the case if the doping-testing procedures had been completed within a week or 10 days, as is the case with testing, for example, at the Olympic Games.

Witold Baka thunders on Walijewa. “The guilty should be put in prison”

The boss of WADA will take the voice over Walijewa. – Child cheering is wicked and unforgivable. Doctors, trainers, and other support staff who provided minors with performance-enhancing drugs should be suspended for life. Personally, I also think they should be put in prison, he wrote on Twitter.

In turn, in an interview with the Reuters agency, Baka appealed to RUSADA to make an unambiguous decision and end the investigation of Walijewa. This would allow WADA to appeal against the Russian verdict, and the case would be dealt with by the Arbitration Tribunal for Sport. – They still have an old generation of trainers and doctors who work with minors. It is our task for the Russian Ministry of Sport to change this, emphasized Baka.
