The Russian is assumed full responsibility of what happened, but declared not to have knowingly taken the substance. The explanation is provided by Starykh that'' Epo is entered his body through a series of injections of a cosmetic called Laennec, consigliatole by some friends. L'' now twenty-seven stated that began treatment with the Laennec, used to bring benefits to the skin, in order to improve their aesthetic appearance in relation to its visibility media greater than in the past. In conclusion Starykh explained the whole thing as a light weight, stating that you have not consulted any doctor. Also, unless you change your mind, there should be no appeal against the decision of'' Ibu. Those exposed so far are the facts. Below'' s opinion on the matter of the writer. There are a couple of interesting passages in the letter from Ibu Starykh all'', that "my results'' s era were very good and I did not need to get better with Epo''" and "I acted without consulting or my primary care physician or physicians of the Russian team. " As they say, excusat petita accusatio manifested, especially in the passage in which you pick up in advance any doctor from liability '' s happened. History already view in Russia in 2009, at the time of the triple case Yaroshenko, Akhatova, Iourieva. Yaroshenko was the'' only'' to admit the use of doping, claiming to have done it all alone. '' He was also the only one to be rehabilitated by the federation and be included in the technical cadres after the withdrawal. It makes you think that the system has said "Dear athlete, declaring that he had done something stupid all by yourself, cover those who helped you and in return we'll cover your shoulders in your future." Let me be clear, this is only an interpretation based on'' personal experience of the recent past, so debatable and not necessarily realistic. The bare facts simply say that Starykh - It is assumed responsibility '' s assumption of Epo-not been followed by any physician-is was disqualified for two years-will not appeal
