discredit all athletes was not a proper report in the beginning and now they try to also force the paralympic committee to accept that the mclaren report is correct icing this is only these only shows that they have not enough proofs and they try to to escape from the real proceedings by establishing rules one percent is enough if we are not certain we exclude them icing this is absolutely wrong and shows that they have not enough proving their hands here things can go wrong in this process as well as tampering with some hope bottles is among the top criteria but recent reports say they could crack during a legitimate examination so what do you think about that particular point. well it's clear they have to prove what really happened if now. all the other possibilities do arise than in my view if you have to to try to convict an athlete and you have to prove with ninety nine point nine percent of certainty that somebody has dubbed then you will never be able to to meet the proofs and that's the reason probably day they try to go in or the route to escape the real proceedings and if you are excluded you
