9:27 pm
blue to get a fresh start or season for me and track and split. the massive doping has worked to try to take away ya invective eason's and most these are the results of blood tests for five thousand athletes taken between two thousand and one and two thousand and twelve amongst them eight hundred a suspected of doping for example this value of this blood sample should not exceed one hundred forty three sometimes we find samples valuing one hundred forty five one hundred fifty five or even one hundred fifty six. norton but actions of a get off talking kind of person i know a lot interesting a bit of the talking to a yet to happen too often a tradition was a consultant runs into an unknown annoyances. dropping the norman without hoping it wouldn't be noticed the federation thus knew that many of their athletes with doping notably the long distance and medium distance runners but they allowed this to happen even worse the directors of the i.w.a. f allowed athletes who tested positive to compete in exchange for money according
9:28 pm
to the newspapers le monde. mean diac the president of the i.w.a. up until two thousand and fifteen admitted to french prosecutors to having him pencilled one point five million euros the money would have been used to fund the election of the senegalese president in two thousand and twelve his son diac former marketing consultant supposedly targeted athletes such as the russian marathon runner. from whom he allegedly demanded four hundred fifty thousand euros so that she can still compete racketeering money was moved to a company in singapore black tydings when investigated by interpol he denied all involvement gabriel delay the head doctor of the federation is suspected of having received nearly two hundred thousand euros for having concealed the doping but see this is obviously just. much stopped at a bow to push the united top of a cult clothes and get it for blunt and i stuck to it as i said comforting talking
9:29 pm

to the world how russia creates its champions for five years yulia rubbed shoulders with the world's best athletes the tally is an advisor to the director of the russian anti-doping agency this is him at the side of the sports minister in two thousand and nine. in two thousand and fourteen the couple decided to reveal the systematic doping of russian athletes doping organized by the country's medical and sporting bodies and covered up by the state there revelations caused a scandal. it's tearing apart i'm diving in atlantic city sides russia faces standing caribbean also there at the start of the civil liberties it will take i'm going to need to do better to cope says learn from that what i think is below the c.s.s. to each other listening levels for the able to do push the ball shook the city gets your. it was. forced to react to the i.w.a. after suspended four thousand russian athletes it was the biggest collective
9:31 pm
punishment in the history of sport. vladimir putin was forced to reassure the world. your program will produce just what your folks do in there but nobody knows us here and you. have a species somewhere a hundred a pitcher and we're prepared but him only start doing each mission not only me and you don't. stop. two months later two directors of the anti-doping agency died under suspicious circumstances vyacheslav seem to have a new key to come on have their deaths took place just as they were preparing to make public disclosures according to the sunday times considered traitors of their homeland the whistleblower couple exiled themselves to berlin. resist. the best right now so mr b. that's gotten. this thing is now in this cloak of say this year's.
9:32 pm
the story began the day that usually a med surg a reporter got off the head of the athletics federations medical department who prescribed a doping program. to go after given claridge. but isn't that the dog that wasn't that's because it's got that i got to have spots me and i've got to get there it's morning. to find out um you've all booked to murder me a lot of us that. despite an absence i mean that you just. need to stitch a whole new. class that's just what them the covert. how do. you not go there bill stuart you know. that the storm the government your own go ideas don't save in the word of what it's must see that don't go just ones they will bore you little. to have the gold medal winners of the london olympic games if
9:33 pm
you athletes tested positive it was because the anti doping agency in moscow were themselves corrupt. and. good about us as a slower so moved it is checked against them but don't embarrass us year after machine you must give them no good help the goal of only because. it's about look with a mobile distiller on your door when you go in you boys at the u. prost as they are sure which. still don't know but them to be over the blanket was of an accord on the piece a moment problem it didn't you so must get that number probably but so once you're a duchess be stuck on that what it has a place with you yeah i'm disallowing number probably it ends up with i guess most probably no names could hit it or when you. did you did while competing union mate retire early her future husband on
9:34 pm

9:35 pm
but what were the russian athletes doing to escape checks abroad. that we said come on the signal imam. is not genuine design use could need their wisdom was damned. but i said to get a sentiment as plentiful as kind is that no one you know the detection methods is always changing and the dates how long. some substances can be detected always getting shorter but again usually the directors of the labs are the first ones to receive this information so that in a country like pressure the they have to share this information because the main goal is not to catch their peers the main goal is to help people in gold medals.
9:36 pm
the russian anti-doping agency disputes the accusations. vitali he has refused to cooperate with us on this matter. and for us it's a pity if you want to fight against doping in sport you should not only give these bold statements publicly it's not enough just to you know appear in the screen and say everyone is corrupted facts and presumptions that what we need to have in order to establish an underdog in the world is. the evidence was collected by high level . as if you have a as a tradition i like yesterday in your for me to. and you just have an off duty guy aminal. and video and audio form. you going to not need to have one in. my toes and sort of. you know in.
9:37 pm

9:38 pm
look past me get with the ones that don't get to me that. following vitaly unions revelations what i began investigating in russia. meanwhile julia hopes to rediscover her best film. because i didn't want to get i guess that voice nor so get the most you got though this is me of a child that. i suggest she is nice to you on each of. these three you have a new wife still. states yet you still don't know if that's what sports. do you think that they take yet. within a three hundred fifty foot if. you want. to
9:39 pm
take part in international competition she first needs to find a host country to accept into their team. but go to closing it was dubai is a quick and fixed it and then you just get that from my store opening up to the caucuses that are stepping up to the head you have to get your question. which country would be dead if i russia and adopt yulia. russia however does not have the monopoly on doping every year worldwide three thousand athletes test positive for doping among the sports in which cheating has been found to be the most prevalent in recent years our bodybuilding athletics baseball american football weightlifting boxing wrestling cycling ice hockey rugby swimming and basketball power and insurance boards are not the only concerns. and we could use book only on novel
9:40 pm
is a specific nick book if you didn't. saw that it. would board put it in his pool and it is all of it is. more all now but the move is rather to nice and sure that he needs me all could do sure that the. natural skittishness of all don't do it thank him said look they stood it to me not in this book it's promoted. as a sport that relies on technique football would seem to be above doping scandals and yet it has been tainted by match rigging and corruption. is very true and over the during the two thousand and fourteen world cup in brazil seven hundred thirty six players were tested as shown in this fifo promotional video. once again the tests are financed and carried out by the federation that organizes the event do
9:41 pm
you think that those of the like in other sports or what is your opinion is one difficult informal modest move to run. our you know brand in ireland and you've also a little luck this quarter was. no footballer tested positive in rio a satisfactory result of a free for. all. the last. case we had was during the one nine hundred ninety four when the united states. there is a very clear commitment to make the fifa competitions free. despite this show of toughness to the leaders of world football really provide the necessary means to catch cheats in one thousand nine hundred fifty four had all the samples destroyed after the world cup thus avoiding any subsequent unmasking of
9:42 pm
drug cheats in two thousand and six no blood samples were taken in two thousand and fourteen the laboratory that tested the samples was in those over twelve hours away from rio after twelve hours tiny doses of a no longer detectable in urine samples so is the myth of clean football to be believed retired player right world champion in one thousand nine hundred four is skeptical. so. not. only my origins vital to those. sports which is your core truly strange. but here's a. look at as a future boy as he would inject when things are bad and. bad moves with my i was there with my shorty there was that they may perceive him as mass of muscle muscle . being. ripped out of some fused. if we witnessed
9:43 pm
in this aspect. of the. world what other witnesses peter was when was the v. . chip with an army. abuse issue which was going to be no. it was only a move toward the minimum is more. yeah we've history got it or or since you're closer to. it watch the video of it you know what in my arm i see my eyes fickling to my eyes my eyes up without the ha ha ha ha ha oh. i mean because it was part of what i think an issue part. i pop your finger on. i.
9:44 pm
was i to finish a book which by god had not by the twelfth of all spoken not dothraki. by which these parts and sweet. little budget i'd stick in exhort for but call early had led to the explaining why they keep a sound so maybe you'll. see still could nationalise mortality do but do you plan to do that they must shut you feel cool because it will be able to teach you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance yes he just wouldn't you guys look at this good scene today by the beagle with the info on the human what's on your ball kinetic and even when you want to see it all out it's about to start trucking what i used. to aid you need to be accountable let's use more sophisticated values in the official welcome to geneva for the special one the independent commission press conference that we have found to cover up speed film destruction of samples in the fortress payments of money in order to conceal the
9:45 pm
doping test so it's worse than we thought. early it's a food fight that we're football fans who don't think about doping really had that lead explaining when rael madrid a club worth five hundred million euros expresses a position of something like the world anti-doping agency has to take notice you know. in part two of this series al-jazeera continues to explore the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs sports doping the endless chain on al-jazeera.

hello again and welcome back to international weather forecast well it is that time of year where we start to see a lot of this tropical moisture make its way towards north particular down here across south america last week we're talking about some very heavy rain here across parts of southern brazil and as you can see on our forecast map here on saturday a lot of that rain is beginning to ease its way towards the north leaving much of that area to the south in southern brazil argentina over here towards your great paraguay as well a lot drier than what we did see earlier so we're going to be seeing those temperatures staying into the high twenty's low thirty's for many locations one is that is it is going to be a partly cloudy day twenty five degrees on saturday going down to about twenty three degrees as we go towards sunday well across the caribbean plenty of rain in the region and that's all due to a funnel boundary and you can see the clouds right there passing across parts of the bahamas turks and caicos as well heavy rain is going to be
9:47 pm
a problem here on saturday for many locations as we go towards sunday the rain is going to continue here across some of those islands we're talking about the dominican republic haiti as well as cuba could be seeing some rain as well the turks and caicos will also be scenes of very heavy rain in the forecast and then here across parts in eight states it is going to be rainy across much of the central plains we do expect to see the rain up here across denver but up towards chicago it's cooler with a temperature of nine. the weather sponsored by catalona. isn't a problem for your candidate that you may not have a health question mark over him but he does have a corruption question mark over it doesn't look good for the village i think you know. ok we're going to do it we will probably not knowing what is going to decide and we really do get why there's a lot of disillusionment with the u.s. across the globe to spoil that is called for a bridge doesn't build confidence it breaks looking to join me near the hot sun on our front of my guests from around the world take the hot seat and we debate the

9:50 pm
fighting the syrian democratic forces have raised their flag in baghdad the last i saw time in a northeast syria in the tweets french president emanuel back home has praised the operation success but has warned that nations must continue to be vigilant in the fights against terrorist groups our correspondents jim is in beirut and joins us now jamal is this a has eisel been definitively defeated. most experts would say how that is very premature to. announce the defeats of ice was an entity surely there is going to be a lot of relief that will be expressed in an already has been expressed by many people with regards to their loss of territory in terms of land in terms of towns cities and villages across not only obviously iraq but also now more importantly
9:51 pm
