commented on the doping-scandal. She noted that “the CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), Travis Tygart, advocated the complete ban of Russian athletes from participation in the Olympic Games. The sanctions proposed by the WADA Compliance Committee are not enough for him, he needs to destroy the Russian sport, as a whole. This is the case when private interests are mixed with big politics: to fish in troubled waters. After all, we all remember how our ice hockey team won the last Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang even under a neutral flag. Of course, having such a strong competitor, it is difficult for Americans to expect victory.”
She believes that this is not just a problem with sport. “If we assess the situation with the doping scandal surrounding Russia that has lasted for many years, then we see that this is a big game of global politics,” she emphasized.Elena Panina informed that “doping scandals occur in all major sports countries of the world. But the individual athletes and coaches are responsible, very rarely sanctions are imposed on sports federations. It has never happened before that the whole country was isolated for many years from world sports, it has never happened to anyone. The situation with pressure on Russia in the sports sphere is unprecedented. There are no such analogs.”
“To seek an explanation of what is happening in just the sports sphere is naive. Globalist forces have long exerted pressure on Russia from outside, trying to turn it into a rogue country. It does not work. Despite everything, Russia is reckoned with, it has a lot of pf partners, and global political issues cannot be resolved without it,” continues member of the Committee on International Affairs.
Elena Panina reminded that as Churchill once said, ”Russia cannot be defeated by force, but it can be destroyed from within.“ Such pressure from within has been attempted for many years, and the doping scandal is one of them.”She is convinced that such external forces have a plan: “sport is the greater half of our country, we all cheer for our athletes. But sports life is not only athletes who, thanks to WADA sanctions, lose their skills, knowledge, and mastery. These are millions of fans.
In fact, there is no only the desire to humiliate our country, to strike at national symbols, national prestige. This is also a clear intention to destructively set up a huge army of fans, who, by the way, have been repeatedly involved in various kinds of color revolutions. They are told: problems in the sports sphere occur because your country and your leader pursue a “wrong” policy. Reunited with Crimea, resolved the conflict in Syria, prevented a coup in Venezuela, build a multipolar world, cooperate with China, India, the Islamic world. However, if you follow, as in the 90s, a pro-Western way, then everything will be OK with you.”
”Certainly, this
is an illusion. It is important for globalists to destroy Russia's sovereignty
at any cost, and even more, to divide the Russian Federation, as it was done
with the Soviet Union“, Elena Panina said.
”Of course, no
revolutions, including color ones, do not occur without internal reasons. And of course, our sports officials should not beat their chests and make excuses,
but we should figure the situation out, which is taking place after
Rodchenkov’s betrayal, and we should use all the tools, including international
organizations and courts. We should know whether the data can be trusted that
he claims to be real, and if the WADA rules introduced after 2014, practically
simultaneously with economic sanctions against the Russian Federation, are in accordance with the spirit of the Olympic movement. And why is the voice of our
representatives so weak in international sports organizations when we have such
strong athletes?“, stressed the parliamentarian.
Member of the Committee on International Affairs is sure that ”nobody can
absolve sports bureaucracy of blame. But we should understand that this is just
an excuse. And from the point of view of the globalist elite, the underlying cause
is that there should not be a strong Russia on the world map.“
”Even if we were
holier than the Pope, our opponents would still find a cause for sanctions,
isolation, a boycott … And a lie affects people most precisely if here is a half-truth in it“, emphasized Elena Panina.
She also urged to pay attention to the reasons why WADA proposes to suspend Russia from big sport
events for exactly four years. ”Just in order to aggravate the situation before
the presidential election in Russia, the link is clear. And then everything
follows the familiar pattern that we observe in other countries,“ the member of the State Duma added.
”However,
whenever they try to put pressure on us so rudely and shamelessly, we organize ourselves,
get a grip and become stronger,“ concluded Elena Panina.
