this week there was a historical and at the same time sad event for all Olympic Movement - after recheck of doping tests is officially declared disqualification of all three prize-winners of Igr-2012 in London on weightlifting in weight category to 94 kg. Company to the Kazakhstan citizen Ilyin Ilya made the Russian Ivanov Alexander and the Moldavian Kyryku Anatoly.  But even it still florets...

Intense fight against rivals and a bar in the face of the whole world, rough celebrations on a podium, the anthem in honor of the champion, grand welcomes at the airports of sports heroes, official celebrations, the solid bonus. . And here more than four years later suddenly it becomes clear that these gallant in appearance guys actually at all and not heroes. It is rather, on the contrary, sports criminals. And at all at retail, and wholesale. And not only they, but also their next persecutors. So, positive after recheck there were doping tests London the Russian Demanov Andrey (the fourth place in weight to 94 kg), Zairov Intigam from Azerbaidjan (the sixth place) and Uteshov's Uteshov Almaz from Kazakhstan (the seventh place). And United Kingdom the ninth place the Pole Zelinsky Tomash got on a dope already to Rio de Janeiro before 2016 Summer Olympics.

But, in principle, Zelinsky Tomash all the same can apply now for a bronze medal London, after all in the competition most larded by a dope in the history of it from athletes to whom there are no claims (can, however, only when), Korean Kim Ming Dre and Sayed Mokhammadpur from Iran who has the right to count now on Olympic "gold" though at competitions was only the fifth outstripped only. But whether these guys of doping test in London-2012 handed over in general? Whether if yes, rechecked them? Besides the 19-year-old Iranian after those Olympic Games in general ceased to appear on large tournaments that too causes questions.

Deprivation of the Olympic awards backdating - a modern trend. After recheck of the Beijing and London tests of medals tens athletes, including Russians lost already. Obviously, fighters with a dope consider - such high-profile cases they give to "dirty" athletes an accurate signal of inevitability of punishment. But "skeletons in the cupboard" actually found later later only do to the Olympic Movement serious harm. As, first, all without exception devaluate the Olympic competitions, forcing to treat their results with care and even caution. And secondly, frighten not all unscrpulous athletes. After all, it becomes clear, by means of the forbidden preparations it is possible to become not "king for a day", and "the caliph for some years" and to manage to bathe much in glory beams. That, you see, absolutely different things.

the Olympic heroes of more remote past also can cause now suspicions. Even the greatest of the great. Probably, they were simply lucky that tests then did not recheck. . Nobody argues, it is necessary to fight for purity of sports. However it is obvious - having too been fond of this fight, it is possible to destroy and sports. Agency spends huge money, sudden doping kontroli go in a mode of non-feet and day and night. Really it is impossible to find a dope more bright? ! It turns out, no. Therefore even it dread to think as in four years results of 2016 Summer Olympics will change. One pleases - our shtangist will lose nothing, after all them before Games in Rio simply did not allow.
