"We can divide the 'list into three groups," said the number one dell''organo of biathlon government "The first group includes those who are in business, the second who has retired and the third who is not in our database . quest''ultimo it regards biathletes who have never been presented in international competitions.
Some of the biathletes in the first group have already been found positive and therefore disqualified. But now we have to deal with suspicions about who is currently involved in international competitions. How many exactly I can not say it, we have created a working group that will evaluate what to do and probably will temporarily suspend the suspects.
Should any suspension, then come into force before the fourth stage of the World Cup, scheduled in Oberhof since January 5. We received 300 pages of information, I'm sure it will be possible to take any decision in accordance with the WADA code. "
The tabloid asked Besseberg if the 'Ibu is considering the' hypotheses to revoke Russia the 'organization of some events. For example quest''inverno the junior World Cup is expected to Ostrov 21 to 28 February. In addition, the penultimate round of the World Cup is scheduled in Tyumen, a place that also has also got the 'organization of the World Cup in 2021.
The president of the International Federation responded diplomatically that "There c''è hurry in taking such decisions. We already have alternative locations as candidates to host the World Junior 2017 in case of need, and there are no problems in shifting stages of the World Cup even with a notice of only seven days. about the World Cup of 2021, any decision will be taken in the next Congress. "
So we have to wait for further developments. It will be a storm in a glass of 'water, or promises to be a hot Christmas?
