FairSport is an independent foundation striving to eradicate doping in sport. We support confidential sources who speak up to unmask doping + educate the public
The @IOCmedia is:
• Trying to regain control of anti-doping with their proxy @IntTestAgency – not independent – they are a service provider
• Severely restricting the right to peaceful freedom expression- @heraskevych
• Restricting athlete NIL opportunities through rule 40 2/2
"Coventry is in danger of creating an image for herself that she will never shake off." — @duncanjourno
The @Olympics are moving in the wrong direction.
The IOC refuses to:
• Compensate athletes
• Address FSB involvement in Russian sport
• Address the China doping scandal
1/2
To all @Olympics athletes.
This is how the #IOC President values you.
Excerpts from @SportNationNZ@AlexChapmanNZ interview with @iocmedia President, Kirsty Coventry.
"I don't believe in paying athletes"
@duncanjourno@wrestling@gymnastics As covered by @InsiderEng
"Russia’s doping program is run by the same FSB team that poisoned Navalny. Key positions in the Russian Olympic Committee and across individual sports associations appear to be systematically reserved for alumni of the FSB."

"International federation lifts its ban on Russia, it is a win for Putin, who views sport as a matter of national security, geopolitics, and propaganda....it is another step closer to normalising what has happened in Ukraine." @duncanjourno
The Gym Federation is making a huge advertisement for the Russian imperialist war with this decision.Gym Federation bears full responsibility for prolonging the Russian war and for a much larger number of people killed and maimed. It must pay 🇺🇦 tens of billions of euros for this
How World Aquatics Risks Repeating Catastrophic Mistakes From Sports Politics History: Time for athletes & swim feds to tell international regulators happy to see sport played n a political battlefield "NYET!" ... here's why... @RobKoehler2@InsiderEng

Navalny poison squad linked to Russian doping?
🇷🇺 Russia's sports doping program is allegedly run by the same spy unit that poisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny.
WADA, the world anti-doping agency told DW it has alerted its investigations unit.
“People are not surprised by the article. That in itself is worrying(…)This article reveals something far more serious than previous doping scandals. It confirms that Russian sport is not only influenced by the state, it is governed by it. The findings link people with connections to Russian security structures, including the FSB, directly to the anti-doping system and the sport in general” @RobKoehler2@NRKno@wada_ama@iocmedia

FairSport & @GlobalAthleteHQ Statement: The investigation published by The @InsiderEng exposes something far more serious than past doping scandals. It confirms that Russian sport is not simply influenced by the state; it is directed by it. Full article:

For 12 years, @wada_ama and #IOC have failed to meaningfully address or deter Russian state-sponsored doping that has corrupted the @Olympics. WADA must be restructured under new leadership. Global anti-doping cannot work when WADA is controlled by the IOC
@GlobalAthleteHQ
Today's revelations by @InsiderEng show that little has changed in Russia since @Sochi2014. Russian "anti-doping" is still an arm of the state and tool of foreign policy. Russia must be fully banned from int'l sport as long as the state manipulates competition for political ends
"Russia's doping program and political assassination program not only share personnel—they also share a physical address"
@rusada "is deeply connected to the very security organs responsible for Russia's doping governance [and] chemical weapons governance"

“Russia’s gradual reinstatement into world sport is the logical terminus of a process running since at least the autumn of 2024, driven by legal architecture, voting mathematics, institutional self-interest, and money — most of it Russian — embedded in international sport governance.” @ChrisdalbyWOC

The @iocmedia and @FIFAcom have long seemed scared to take any action against #Iran, even though there’s been plenty of reasons as to why they should. I wrote about it in the #ZeusFiles earlier today https://t.co/m5fLccS3gb
