承前*1

先週、スポーツ仲裁裁判所(Court of Arbitration for Sport)*2露西亜陸上競技ティームのリオ五輪出場禁止処分に対する異議申し立てを棄却したことから、IOC露西亜を国として完全にリオ五輪から締め出す決断をするかどうかに注目が集まっていた*3IOCとしては、露西亜を国としてリオデジャネイロ・オリンピックから完全に追放することは回避したようだ。しかし、露西亜選手がオリンピックに出場する条件はとても厳しい;


Sean Ingle “Russia athletes escape blanket ban from IOC for Rio Olympic Games” https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jul/24/russia-team-escape-blanket-ban-ioc-rio-olympic-games


曰く、


The International Olympic Committee has decided against a blanket ban on Russian athletes from competing in Rio – ruling instead to allow the 28 individual federations that compromise the summer Games to decide their fate.

Russian athletes will be allowed to go to Rio if they satisfy their sport’s governing body they are able to prove “to the full satisfaction of his or her International Federation” that they are demonstrably clean. However, crucially, the IOC has raised the bar on Russian entry by deciding that “the absence of a positive national anti-doping test cannot be considered sufficient by the IFs”.

Instead, individual federations will be required to “carry out an individual analysis of each athlete’s anti-doping record, taking into account only reliable adequate international tests, and the specificities of the athlete’s sport and its rules, in order to ensure a level playing field”.

With 12 days to go before the Olympics start, each sport will be up against it.
