Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his country’s diplomats to seek changes to international doping rules in the wake of the
nation’s drug scandals.
A month after the Winter Olympics took place without a full Russian team
Carolina Panthers Jerseys Womens , part of the country’s punishment for past doping offenses, Putin said the Foreign Ministry should try to alter the key treaty underpinning
anti-doping work worldwide.
He said Russian diplomats working with UNESCO should aim to ”refine” the existing International Convention against Doping in Sport so that ”the rules are
fair and absolutely transparent.”
In his first comments on sports matters since winning a fourth term in Sunday’s election, Putin said the government would continue to ”defend the
sporting honor of our country and its clean athletes, (and) stand up for sport
without politics or double standards.”
Putin, in comments reported by state news agencies, didn’t say exactly what changes should be made or how they could be achieved. Short-term results are
unlikely since the next conference on the convention isn’t due until next
year.
