World Triathlon’s Executive Board has decided to sanction the Russian Triathlon Federation due to the significant number of doping cases in Russia. The sanction will be effective for one year, and World Triathlon will review quarterly that these measures are being followed.
The sanctions approved by the
Executive Board, consists of the following:
- The Russian Triathlon Federation
will reach an agreement with RUSADA to test all Russian athletes, especially
all those athletes who will be competing internationally.
- The Russian Triathlon Federation
will, together with World Triathlon, create an education plan for Russian
athletes and coaches in regard to doping issues.
- The Russian Triathlon Federation
will compensate and refund the prize monies previously awarded to the Russian
triathletes sanctioned with doping offences.
- Russian Triathlon Federation
officials must resign from any World Triathlon and European bodies for the
period of one year.
- The Russian Triathlon Federation
cannot organise any World or European Triathlon events for one year (until the
end of 2022).
- The Russian National Federation is
to reimburse World Triathlon for all costs (including but not limited to
laboratory fees, hearing expenses and travel) related to any of the violations
of the Anti-Doping Rules committed by their athletes and coaches.
- Sanctions must be taken inside the
Russian National Triathlon Federation for any coach or official that is
involved in any doping violation, and collaboration must be made with World
Triathlon disciplinary bodies.
World Triathlon is fully committed
with the fight against any form of doping in the sport. As an unequivocal
confirmation of its commitment to eradicating the use of prohibited substances
and methods in triathlon, World Triathlon continues to commit time, effort,
energy and a substantial budget to its anti-doping mission.
