The American newspaper claims to have extrapolated four names to one of the annexes of the McLaren relationship. This annex would be available for identifying alphanumeric codes that, crossed with the schedule of races in Sochi of each and with other documents that speak of sample handling, made it possible to trace all''identità the athletes in question.
In the specific case, it would be four women. And that women:
- Olga Olga Zaitseva- Vilukina- Iana Romanova- Iryna Starykh
This quartet would have to compete in the women's relay of Sochi. However positivity all''Epo of Starykh, recorded in December 2013, changed the plans. The substitute was then Ekaterina Shumilova.
The document that contains these alphanumeric codes do not contain any evidence of doping (for the truth at the time of testing there are not right in any area), however, mean that the four may be connected to other documents accusers.
For example, fasterskier it claims that a cross-check would reveal that some urine samples considered manipulated, as too diluted, would belong to Romanova.
Besides all''argento in the relay, it should be remembered as Vilukhina've also got the 'silver in the sprint. Also she and Zaitseva have collected several podiums in the World from 2011 - '' 12 Cup onwards, ie from the moment the McLaren relationship starts the doping accusations of state.
At a time like this it is mandatory to keep our feet on the ground and stick to the facts, which at the moment are these:
1) The Wada all''Ibu has sent a list of 31 names of Russian biathletes doping suspects, accompanied by 300 pages of information; 2) These 300 pages are now in the hands of the international federation, which established a d 'commission' Ad hoc inquiry.
Everything else belongs to the field of speculation, including the presence in the list (which would be 35 and not 31) of the four above-mentioned names. It goes without saying that in this moment there is still no evidence that supports the allegations.
The 'impression, however, is that we're moving into a hitherto uncharted territory, which is not at all clear what will emerge or not.
