St. Petersburg, February 16, Taras Barabash. Two-time Olympic champion in biathlon Dmitry Vasilyev said he considers the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) a degrading organization that is responsible for doping scandals. . The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), despite the appeals of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Skating Union (ISU) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), allowed Valieva to the personal tournament of the Games in Beijing. However, the IOC stated that if Valieva gets on the podium, the awards ceremony will not be held, and the results of the tournament themselves will be preliminary. «The structure has long exhausted itself as a body that controls. They have been given so much power. What they want, they do. Our representatives are needed in WADA to hear our point of view. This is a degrading organization,» Vasilyev told reporters.
