December 22, 2016 – IOC president Thomas Bach has apparently ruffled the feathers of 24 Anti-Doping Organizations who sought to meet with him for an urgent face-to-face meeting to discuss the problems in the global anti-doping system reports The Guardian. Bach is reported to have sidestepped their request and instead IOC director-general, Christophe De Kepper, responded after a two-week delay to suggest a meeting in January. The urgent meeting was in reaction to the second part of the McLaren report that identified that more than 1,000 Russians athletes across more than 30 sports were involved in, or benefited from, state-sponsored doping between 2011 and 2015. Bach’s sincerity to take action is being called into question – read more here.

Bach has also stated publicly this week he felt “horror” and an “inner rage” when he read the McLaren report before asking: “So in a position of responsibility, you have to immediately ask yourself, how do you deal with this? What can be done so this will hopefully never happen again?”
The answer as to what to do is simple—ban all systemic dopers—the Russians—-for life and any other Russians that were implicated in this travesty, the same, a life time ban—-from top to bottom—as soon as possible.
Next thing we will be hearing is that will all be pardoned and we will start with a clean record for all—-BULL SHIT—-get rid of them.
No wavering—-let the people who are responsible for carrying out the sanctions get on with their business ASAP!
