The 'broadcaster NRK has reached Besseberg, informing him of the statements made by the Czech twenty-seven, who have been snubbed by the number 1 of the international federation.
"Koukalová simply do not know how we are moving. We have taken the World Cup of 2021 to Russia, set up special committees to investigate the situation related to doping, suspended three Russian biathletes.
The problem of the McLaren relationship is that the evidence is too weak. Clearly, for those who read the sintentica version of the report it is easy to demand the removal of all Russian biathletes. But it is not so simple for those who need hard facts.
The situation has not touched me, is the daughter of the fact that athletes have incorrect information. Above all, it is not to the president to decide about these things. We have a special commission.
I think behind these attacks c''è just a revenge policy. The Czech federation has not digested the fact that the World Cup of 2021 are assigned This dissatisfaction is not a secret. "
Idnes.cz has Koukalová then asked about the latest statements of Besseberg. The Czech then did not move a millimeter, claiming to "think that in the story of Besseberg doping scandal behaved inadequately, indeed false.
It is not true that it was not scratched by my behavior, or rather just the magazine I stopped me and we started to discuss at length. I told him I did not think enough what has been done against doping. I asked him why in Tyumen was also taken off the stage of the World Cup 2018 and because he personally has taken no position with regard to Russia. I also said that if the 'next year there should be a stop in Tyumen, I will not go there.
I pointed out that the IOC has recommended to the international federations not to assign events to Russia. He replied that he does not care and that the 'Ibu want to solve the doping scandals, but does not support the tough stance of the athletes' position.
But he also told me that the stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be revoked and promised tougher suspensions for violations of anti-doping regulation. I wonder what will be done in practice and whether it will be able to keep all these promises.
His conversation amused me, because it is one of the best actors I've ever seen. Believe me, if his performance had to be seen by Hollywood, then they probably would be scared by having to compete with an actor like him. "
In short, "㤠㥠ã".
Or "continue".
