IAAF execs
explored
hush up
of Russia
doping bans
By JOHN LEICESTER
AP Sports Columnist
PARIS — Six years before the IAAF
banned Russia, traFN and ¿eOd¶s goYerning
body NneZ of doSing so out of FontroO
it feared Russian athOetes FouOd die froP
abusing bOoodboosting drugs and transfu
sions, and of¿FiaOs Fonsidered FoOOaborating
with Russians to hide the extent of cheating
before the 2012 /ondon OOyPSics, according
to internaO docuPents obtained by 7he Asso
ciated Press.
When the PassiYe scandaO of statesSon
sored doSing and coYeruSs in Russia
¿naOOy eruSted in 201, IAAF Oeaders acted
as though bOindsided. ³7his has been a
shaPefuO waNeuS caOO,´ said Sebastian &oe,
the %ritish OOyPSian and new Sresident of
the InternationaO Association of AthOetics
Federations.
%ut as a soShisticated new bOoodtesting
SrograP was Oaunched in 200, IAAF tests
were aOready SroYiding shocNing insight
into the scaOe and graYity of Russian doSing,
according to six years of ePaiOs, Oetters and
reSorts the AP receiYed froP a Serson inti
PateOy inYoOYed in the IAAF¶s antidoSing
SrograP. 7he Serson reTuested anonyPity
because he wasn¶t aOOowed to reOease the
docuPents.
At that stage, the test resuOts weren¶t
enough on their own to sanction athOetes,
but they raise Tuestions about why the orga
nization waited six years before suspending
Russia, which couOd see its athOetes Piss the
Rio de Janeiro OOyPpics in August.
³1ot onOy are these athOetes cheating
their feOOow coPpetitors but at these OeYeOs
are putting their heaOth and eYen their own
OiYes in Yery serious danger,´ Pierre Weiss,
the IAAF generaO secretary froP 200611,
wrote in an Oct. 1, 200, Oetter to 9aOentin
%aOaNhnicheY, the Russian athOetics president
banned for Oife froP the sport Oast weeN.
Russians ³recorded soPe of the highest
YaOues eYer seen since the IAAF started
testing.´
7ests at the 200 worOd chaPpionships,
where Russia won 13 PedaOs, ³strongOy
suggest a systePatic abuse of bOood doping
or EPOreOated products,´ Weiss added.
AthOetes are banned froP using transfu
sions and the horPone EPO, which boosts
OeYeOs of oxygencarrying red bOood ceOOs,
arti¿ciaOOy iPproYing perforPance. 7hey can
increase the risN of cOots, stroNes and heart
attacks.
7he docuPents reYeaO how the IAAF
caMoOed Russian of¿ciaOs to act, but aOso used
adYances in bOood testing against offenders.
7hey shed Oight on key Munctures in the crisis,
which has been Puddied by aOOegations that
IAAF and Russian of¿ciaOs took bribes froP
athOetes to hide doping.
Other ¿ndings
— InternaO IAAF papers before the
/ondon OOyPpics proposed hiding doping
sanctions for Oesserknown Russians. An
ApriO 2012 note said this approach couOdn¶t
be used for Russia¶s best athOetes because
that wouOd aOOow theP to keep ³11 worOd
titOes and nuPerous European titOes acTuired
under the inÀuence of doping.´ 7he eOite
athOetes couOd not be discreetOy rePoYed
froP PaMor coPpetitions.
— A Sept. 2, 2012, internaO brief for then
IAAF President /aPine 'iack estiPated 2
percent of tested Russian eOite athOetes doped.
— After the 200 worOds, Weiss toOd
%aOakhnicheY that seYen Russians —
incOuding two goOd PedaOists — wouOd haYe
been forced to sit out the coPpetition if the
IAAF had had the saPe ruOes as soPe other
sports.
%y 2011, the IAAF¶s new testing regiPe
was Àagging so Pany suspected Russian
dopers that of¿ciaOs expOored breaking their
own ruOes and those of the WorOd Anti
'oping Agency by deaOing with soPe cases
priYateOy, two notes show.
7he notes proposed bythebook sanctions
for eOite Russians OikeOy to win in /ondon,
but ³rapid and discreet´ handOing for Oess
erknown athOetes whose disappearance froP
coPpetition wouOd probabOy go unnoticed.
For athOetes who agreed, the IAAF wouOd
³undertake not to pubOish the sanction,´
which wouOd be shortened to two years froP
four, according to a 'ec. , 2011, brief that
spokesPan &hris 7urner said was sent by
IAAF antidoping director *abrieO 'oOOe to
'iack¶s OegaO counseO, +abib &isse.
7he IAAF¶s ethics coPPission has
banned 'oOOe for ¿Ye years for what it
caOOed an ³inexcusabOe Oack of due care and
diOigence´ inYoOYing /iOiya ShobukhoYa, a
Parathoner who bOew the whistOe on bOack
PaiO, bribery and doping coYerups inYoOYing
%aOakhnicheY and others.
A second round of ¿ndings are due
7hursday froP a WA'A probe Oed by
InternationaO OOyPpic &oPPittee Yeteran
'ick Pound, who toOd AP that docuPents
indicating IAAF of¿ciaOs contePpOated not
discOosing doping bans were surprising and
³not exactOy in Oine with our ruOes.´
StiOO, the docuPents show the IAAF Oong
worked behind the scenes with Russia before
its 1oY. 13 aboutface, when IAAF &ounciO
PePbers Yoted 221 to suspend aOO Russian
athOetes. Russia Pust conYince the IAAF it is
changing to be reinstated.
