man that is the biggest initiative. suggesting it's used to misspoke when you see visit was to but i usually don't what is do you have but i will in the us to those . several months before the rio olympics yelena isinbayeva still believed in justice got those getting. the most of was it we have it's faith it was let them in there you know what they view those to mean there's a number of i would that but that's not just it was maybe it's just that i was in your do it city yes that they do is a lot but then we go to a dish to teach him the spoken we have stood by us but i discard them into their lives to cheer this didn't happen they banned the entire russian track and field team from the rio olympics. to avoid near north korean here because their guys are just. not going to. the new delhi could was nervous about brevets your butt out there but i want you to
8:31 am
just stick it or. above it is of the past the super bowl is just that they get the shells of the stick by you which in no group that needs to please the line from. one of them that i waiting i see one of the not the bod i think iraq should. feel that they have the support of the scimitar they look at me with what i see. michael rasmussen is a mountain biking champion king of the mountains of the two thousand and five two thousand and six two and a france he builds a meteoric sports korea became of the world's most famous cyclists. saying many people a wants to keep the illusion alive. and. i'm sorry if i have to break the news that. i do not believe in illusions. and. i think that this sport in. journal has lost its virginity long time ago.
8:32 am
barely known at the outset of his career it took eight years to become a cycling icon today rasmussen's over forty years old it's only now after his anchor sports career is over that he's ready to talk openly about the methods he employed to become a champion i was taking former hansing drops over a total period of twelve years in my aim was to be the best athlete i could possibly be in all of to win the toughest sport competition in the world. and for me in order to do that. it was necessary also to. to push the rules and break the rules. they mean to be the best is a praiseworthy ambition although in sports just as in any other battle there's always a temptation to gain victory by any means. at the one thousand nine hundred four
8:33 am
lympics and some lewis an american thomas hicks took a then popular cocktail of brandy laced with strychnine and ran in the marathon. after a while he fainted his coach gave him more dope takes continued eventually coming first although a team of doctors barely managed to revive him at the finishing line but still he got his gold medal. since then the pharmaceutical industry has made giant strides does develop drugs designed for prolonged use the harm to athletes health can't be detected immediately but their performances enhanced straightaway. corticosteroids has a lot of benefits in terms of treating injuries but it also has a very very pleasant side effect if you are an athlete that wants to perform at the highest level because. it causes weight loss. and which is very important when you're a cyclist. the fact that athletes were attaining amazing results is not what
8:34 am
attracted attention to doping. what couldn't be ignored was the death toll of athletes who died in their prime. between one nine hundred seventy five and one nine hundred eighty over two hundred doping linked deaths were registered in various sports around the world. the i.o.c. had to respond although it was rather tardy. it wasn't until nine hundred ninety nine that the world anti-doping agency was created. today wada updates its prohibited substances list annually pharmaceutical companies and then turn promote their products within this list lobbyist's vie to shut out the competition this is a market with a turnover of tens of millions of dollars there's barely a major international competition that passes without a doping scandal at the same time the anti doping system itself is mushrooms and is
8:35 am
constantly in need of financial injections again we need a massive financial infusion into the earth and ever if we really believe that that you know the greatest threat to spite his doping. and of wonders to be strengthened in its rule critters funding is needed in the agency current fifty million budget going to one or two questions. surely. the world anti doping agency rejects any criticism it is focused on promoting its public image trying to convince the world it's indispensable to do provides a foundation for the world of sports. i know that within the team where i was writing it was very common and there were there were many great athletes i was in the team with a nice man show us in the team. and
8:36 am
a lot of all the big names. and for them it was not an off to perform at the highest level without using the off elements and some drops. in cycling it has happened many times that we take one single rider out. instead of looking at the whole the whole structure. it happened when. they went off the lance armstrong it was one rider they went after. to get busting lance armstrong boosted was his authority sloan's was a god of sports in the eyes of many what's more he conquered the sporting world after beating an incurable disease and making a remarkable comeback but adulation sounded in may twenty level when a former teammate of armstrong's testified he'd seen him taking prohibited drugs on many occasions launce was stripped of all his awards. vision's was satisfied.
8:37 am
that doping contradicts the principle of fair play says waters code however there's a paradox the anti doping rules allow doping in certain cases. but only by athletes to whom water has given permission this information is top secret to use waters' words it's confidential. the fancy banners hackers website extended its greetings to the world it announced that it stands for fan play and clean sport one of his motto incidentally is the same. said they attacked the water site and was shocked by what it had seen it started with american in pick champions because some of their victories appeared dubious. hiking is illegal but should. reveal. sensible people about medical records i don't have to do any sympathy
8:38 am
for that i don't think it's a good thing fancy bears published five lists of past leads with positive doping tests over two hundred u.s. spokesman and women had obtained permission to use banned drugs for therapeutic purposes all data collected on athletes is stored in the adams electronic system this system had been wada's impregnable fortress this dr was illegally obtained from a real twenty sixteen olympic games the current. time was the broader system compromised above all want to remain confident in its systems and can change or shitty the security of us treat dr extremely she actually some of my house with this stuff is a jets of stuff they spin that into the cost of what in the in the senate probably used to post that said bill and this is that they don't need to communicate that i
8:39 am
do w. you must not just continue to i mean the reality is not so i just mean that you can say certain you profit if you can get on with the friendship of the ring if it is done with it to buy you know my opinion my bud the business and done with the polls . and there it is there is now you. just this definition there because now you. are used to work twelve years. twelve years i was in charge of. developing the cold the team we developed are called the national standards she really is an international star that has been through consultation around the world and everybody agrees this is we should be. when people are sick they have. to be cation that needs to be a system where they can be given this provocation but there has to be strict russia
8:40 am
months. yeah you can easily test the substance but you have a permit to use it and basically it's just a matter of inventing an injury. so you know your team doctor would write that you having tendonitis in your left knee and then. basically giving you a wild card a free pass to use the reuters during a tour de france for example the queen of artistic gymnastics four time olympic champion nineteen year old simone biles one five medals four of which would gold in the rio olympics. taken just before the games showed for instances of banned substances but she was not suspended from the competition after the fancy bears hackers exposed the queen she took to twitter to defend herself i have aged and i have taken medicine for it since i was a kid please no i believe in clean sport i have always followed the rules and will
8:41 am
continue to do so a.d.h. d. is one of the most widespread disorders children of diagnosed with what is it really an illness a child on able to keep still and always being reprimanded for it at school is a familiar story the amphetamine from one twenty milligram. pill is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and has a favorable influence on the nervous system it calms you down many gymnasts look very nervous before the start by contrast simone biles is a model of focus and concentration. therapist pewter exemptions i think has to be allowed because there are medical conditions but it needs to be transparent it can't be hidden that somebody is taking these medications which actually can calm the nerves which is the real issue in competitions so it needs to be transparent right now it's not transparent. tennis has always been considered
8:42 am
the cleanest sport one case of doping detected in a thousand tests this is the official data according to anonymous pose sixty five percent of tennis players take banned drugs among them the williams sisters serena and venus they have muscular and powerful bodies seemingly created by nature itself but during the last five years they have had sixteen t u e's long with victories with millions in prize money something worth fighting for it's their first time someone right now it's the u.s. anti-doping agency that approves the t.u.e. is and and it's not disclosed it's not transparent so in a way fancy bears the hacking group. they did a service by trying a light on this it's a little bit like wiki leaks. it was only things to the hackers that the world learned of the extensive use of t u e's if sports fans around the world could look
8:43 am
on the internet to see who had been tested by wada offices who had fallen foul and who had been authorised by wada to use t u e's there would be no need for hakas. so there's no those all important as a person but he is important as far as his leaving would cause a risk in the regime falling apart so indeed the americans are americans so much less to have him leave told all from time to time they keep saying it again so in the end i think most countries are accepting that he will stay.
8:44 am
the french like when you all know it's coming through and spoke to me if somebody would have been told me that i'm going to spend my life to plan committees are a little too strict oversight of salt it was clear to see. every night we were attacked by the arabs we will attacking them and we will extremely shocked and saying that's not possible i'll meet those moved to such scenes and then the soldiers and myself from the. host with the prison or we're going to go over they all. believe much sick and close citizens in the. most like and i think in my head that there is no way to be able to be together without. the straw poll.
8:45 am
transformed itself from a humble and be sent into one of the. able to call the shots and impose conditions not only on astley's but also on the i.o.c. which actually created the agency that said water has lost the war against doping more than once but it did myths that reluctantly and with reservations. against doping and we need i am optimistic for two reasons basically the first one is that if you look at it carefully we can find some satisfactions we can find some victories in the fight against doping so yes there are the second point is it cannot get worst. the agency always needs to
8:46 am
prove it's capable of beating the monster the question is who will be the monster the decision is always made behind the scenes. that's just. you. know i think they should. be. we. want them to get back. not going to be a little bit down. year after year the winners podiums in major competitions are graced by norwegian representatives as the publication discovered seventy percent of norwegian olympic medals since one thousand nine hundred ninety two have been won by asked magic's. not to get upset about us was not old enough to get our. supposedly. reduced the
8:47 am
percentage. and what would be discussed much. but they said it might mean nothing not just for. the obvious reasons competing athletes don't want to talk about it fast enough to carry on. you can do it to morrow in the mix or maybe there's a lot of good it is not possible. or if you're told the truth of our media aperture. of. the famous no we march in sunday is also one who enjoys therapeutic exemption the king of the mountain is a two time winner of the world cup in the overall standing a world champion in the team relay on two occasions and twice on the limping medalist while achieving all this he was taking a prescription medicine fast. what is with. the best male skier in the world that he was diagnosed with the child he has he has found
8:48 am
a fanatic condition and therefore in order to be able to compete he needs asthma medicine what happened with. the norwegian doctor charles to administer administer. last moments and i am very unusual way where he used a machine i was almost ten times limit he was suspended from competitions for two months but in the summer months not winter ones although he could have been suspended for four years according to the wada rule book martin sunday officially i'm with waters authorization took a drug called for which gives an adrenaline rush so in this case isn't the only one kind of the evacuees so here is my magic. siri hale is a two times junior ski racing grown champion she was on the norwegian national team
8:49 am
. i felt it was something wrong even here in my throw so i went to the doctor and i blew out in the machine you know and he saw that there was irritation and then he said there is irritation here so i think you should use mentally and and i just tried that. training and i felt this was awkward to use it because i didn't have a smile stopped it and i think i didn't really think more about this i am not very fond of. drugs i'm not fond of the norwegians who are used to made the comments that even though it's legal it is given to people i believe shouldn't get it because we are in the gray area and that's the life that we are in i want it to be fair play. soon after syria stop taking me as my drug she had to leave the team. everybody should be tested and. there should be
8:50 am
if there are going to be investigations so i think the mandate for that should be enough to work one particular country itself. and leaving there and nations outside who even have. a history of a lot of cases by now but you were just just multiplied the story of the story that i see you know my problem adoption go down this was. what i see in the search tool now missing you just missed don't know me probably i'm meticulousness name still is the word you start on the thank you i mean. get a minute kenya your movement by generic and you quoted but you just giftedness but it's me and i spoke with a vocal that's used to release any particular shattering it'll work double digits because it's a slow an evolution it's not a really good start at the bottom to start a me but i see is the best and then you got the new proceeding is the belongs to the school can you tell she's too much school for to be looked into that i just
8:51 am
want to uplift. if you don't see just because it really is a suicide say now at the when you lose this list of us problem it is safe to say i'm innocent little bits of the history of anti doping campaigns falls into two periods before twenty fourteen and a few months after russia's triumphs of the sochi olympics zeroed in on a monster and declared war on it and it wasn't just one athlete like lance armstrong but an entire country russia. first thing i should say is because you are actually is and the country is a big pile of food every night every successful country so you would be mad if i exactly successful you add dozens of very good that so that is why the shop if i see the waves are bigger but you have no choice swallow the people it is this bit they are the head of the most anti doping aboard trade
8:52 am
grigori roche inc of was the first one in the firing line. of destroying over fourteen hundred. a few days prior to testing. moved to the usa where he admitted abusing his position the main suspect to become what is number one in forma water was the one that demanded his dismissal from the moscow laboratory. that was water that said he couldn't be believed in the first commission report apparent way the evidence says that there were there was some extortion or bribery going on he was being paid to change the test results a lot of people say well he's not trustworthy he's a criminal. he's not in certain respects why did we believe him well there's really two fundamental reasons first. he was at risk if he didn't tell the truth to my myself and members of my team but
8:53 am
he loses visa and he be deported. and that's the view to draw the conclusions from what would happen there. i think if those reports are related to some other country they would have been that country but they did so i don't think russia is being picked on and i didn't personally pick on russia i was given a mandate and i followed the mandate sorry mr affair has to get it right thank you the lawyer declared that his principal goal was fighting the system fighting the monster who had been exposed by a hole in the wall of the sochi testing lab which had mclaren has been painting a vivid picture of this for the past two years that's the edge of the building and the next building in the layout would be the command center for the f.s.b. and they were in the storage locker there and they were seen by dr raj a shake up according to rajan coast testimony during the sanchia lympics the home was used to swap year in samples with the aid of the mighty f.s.b. intelligence service. was the only one who saw the secret device used to open up
8:54 am
athletes dope britain some tools and swap them for clean ones. the form of british cyclist dan stevens has publicly tossed down the gauntlet and accused of thinking in cold war. i think the real reason. it's these fall from protected after it's. unfair i think. and the industry. is by stalled politics and. opinion it's. for political reasons stevens has been attempting. exposed british don't. one hundred fifty british athletes have received banned drugs that is private clinics
8:55 am
but where are these one hundred fifty athletes now and why didn't want to hold an investigation so how could industry is in charge is absurd it's full of contradictions for there to focus a it's not trying to scare and lie with lies one of money comes from work i used. for it's been spent all wild and it's got. a. very full stop why that was you were going to put me in a rock room. and michelle thought again it was me who is that succeeds thing is that the money. you have even if we put you bite someone all the anti doping organizations of course receiving. many lots of foundings from their countries as always what we hear is that now we're getting very close to finding the perfect solution for this but we're not quite there yet. we need more money right.
8:56 am
and i think at the end of the day. it will never be solved. just disperses just threw it just suspects may have got there at the but there is doubt that think that those up a genius like you tell it it's a bank must admit that much too little frost was just.
8:57 am
it's all see we have a great scheme that we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed enough but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guard see that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call on that story as well as three. thousand zero zero zero
8:58 am
zero you didn't hear i called russia. fly strike strike left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. no russian flag will fly at the twenty year john winter olympics but there will be russian athletes. no russian national anthem will play out during official ceremonies but founds will probably jump in acapella rendition you can take the athletes out of the country but can you take the country out of the athletes. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry south in taking your last bang turn. right up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last rites in hopes to put to rest piece things that i never got
8:59 am
off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each parent. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like. it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave the funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one had to. speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. the. whenever you believe russian proto. your not just get a good quality. or little bit of those who. love
9:00 am
