The permit for the Olympics - is not a gift of fate

25 Aug 2016

Senior coach of the "SKA-1946" has to be a teacher with young players

Call the correspondent of "Sports Day by Day" caught Honored Master of Sports Maxim Sokolov at the training camp in Finland, where he is head coach of the "SKA-1946" team, "drove" youth army. But we began to talk not about his charges, and, as they say, about their everyday concerns.

They are trying to hit Russia

- We talked to you on the eve of the fateful decision of the IOC with regard to the Russian national team's participation in the Olympic Games in Rio. You ask, what are the results of the meeting in Lausanne. Fortunately, if I may say so, "executed" not all, only athletes ...

- Yes, I know.

- I remember very well how hard you got Olympic tour. For any athlete's journey to the Games - a gift of fate ...

- Is not a gift of fate, and what is earned by their labor. For someone like me, this event happens once in a lifetime. But I played hockey for a long time. Olympics - a chance to prove themselves to the maximum. And when you are at the last moment "deploy" back, this is certainly a blow to the psyche of an athlete that has a negative impact on his physical condition.

- Personally, I do not understand the collective responsibility, especially in the non-game sports. Why for someone's actions should be punished innocent people?

- For an athlete it is really a disaster. I understand there are involved someone's political interests or bureaucratic ambition, but we must remember what is at stake is much more, perhaps even the fate of man.

- Guilt of our officials in the incident has or can all the blame on "global conspiracy"?

- Political involvement, of course, is present, but the fault of the Ministry of Sports and ROSVADA has not been removed. We must seriously to understand. There are many problems, and one of them is that in our country in the course of the drugs low, "the Chinese" quality. On the other hand, it is obvious that Russia is trying to hit more painfully. As far as I know, we have come under suspicion even hockey players, speakers in Sochi. Surprisingly, when the whole team is disqualified one country, while the other may be a representative, twice disqualified! This is not justice, but a sort of one-way traffic. If you are taking such a serious measure, then let's ask all the same.

For many athletes Games - the main purpose of life

- In an interview with our newspaper, two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov suggested that if the NHL made a WADA test, all commands can be safely shut down, as the stand 80 matches in a season without a proper work of the doctor and the drugs help unrealistic ...

- As far as I know, the NHL recognized as doping only steroids, but violations by WADA rules certainly there. On the other hand, players at the Olympics pass doping tests on an equal basis with everyone else.

- But there is in fact purely regenerative pharmacology - medicine, just needed to keep the cardiovascular system, and so on ...

- It is clear that use steroids is harmful. But because of their limited number of people uses. And there are drugs that help and engage in sports and stay healthy in the future. The same mildronate sold in the pharmacy without a prescription. However, what preparation to allow and which to ban, officials decide. My opinion as an athlete is this: if we introduce an extreme restriction on all but ascorbic acid, vitamins and aspirin, the record Usain Bolt will never see it.

- You would go to perform under the so-called Olympic flag?

- I am a representative team sport. We have such decisions taken collectively. If we talk about personal choice, then this option, in my opinion, for example. And do not condemn anybody. Once again, the Olympics for many athletes - the main goal in life. And the chance may fall, like me, once in a lifetime. Of course, correct to act under the banner of their country. But now the world's boundaries are blurred somewhat. So born in Kenya runner could easily play for Denmark.
