IOC-chef har fuld tillid til Wada i kinesisk svømmesag

ioc-chef har fuld tillid til wada i kinesisk svømmesag

IOC-præsident blev fredag interviewet af AFP i Lausanne.

Præsidenten for Den Internationale Olympiske Komité (IOC), Thomas Bach, har “fuld tillid” til Det Internationale Antidopingagenturs (Wada) håndtering af en verserende svømmesag, hvor 23 kinesiske svømmere er testet positive for doping.

De 23 svømmere afleverede positive dopingprøver kort før OL i Tokyo for tre år siden, men atleterne blev ikke sanktioneret, og sagerne kom først frem i offentligheden, da flere medier afslørede dem i den forgangne uge.

Thomas Bach har dog tiltro til, at sagen kører efter bogen.

– Vi har fuld tillid til Wada og reglerne, og at Wada følger sine regler, siger Thomas Bach i et interview med AFP i IOC’s hovedkvarter i schweiziske Lausanne.

De kinesiske antidopingmyndigheder forklarer, at de 23 atleter uden deres vidende fik dopingstoffet ind i kroppen på grund af forurenet mad fra et hotelkøkken.

Kinesisk sikkerhedspoliti fandt i køkkenets udsugningssystem og i afløbet i køkkenvasken spor af hjertemedicinen trimetazidin – et præstationsfremmende stof.

Wada har afvist, at der blev gjort noget forkert i processen og køber kinesernes forklaring.

Dermed er intet til hinder for, at svømmerne kan stille op ved sommerens OL i Paris, lyder det fra Thomas Bach.

– Hvis procedurerne er fulgt, er der ingen grund til, at de ikke skal være med. Man kan ikke holde dem ude, bare fordi nogen er utilfredse, siger Bach med henvisning til, at der er utilfredshed hos flere nationale antidopingmyndigheder og svømmeforbund.

I samme interview siger IOC-præsidenten, at han forventer seks til otte palæstinensiske atleter ved legene i Paris.

Nogle palæstinensere vil blive inviteret med til OL, selv om det ikke skulle lykkes dem at kvalificere sig, siger Bach.

OL afvikles fra 26. juli til 11. august.
