There are team doctors who take care of it and try to make sure that there are no violations. At the sit in about the situation is getting worse every year. Because if youre familiar with the issue to be sure you know that pharmaceutical drugs may have the same active ingredient they should be just thirty million different brand names. You know all these drugs keep being added to the list. Of most insidious assumes the very sickly people can take anything right yes it is impossible to figure it out so benign and athletes are stuck there not allowed to take any medications actual performance enhancers stimulants and out of all of steroids make up just a tiny fraction of this list that there are only a few items that nobody ever uses anymore and i think that a doubling doubling their plate then yes all these doping scandals are actually around regular pharmaceutical drugs and i mean. Such as for example. Suddenly youre keeping out of doing it but. Im not really an athlete or you know what the books are like jogging in the winter as well you might and i dont understand how a person can work out without taking something to boost their immune system i mean did a mans rather supplements provide what you are a very experienced terrorists lead with for major achievements such and if you think it is possible to train really hard for the olympics weve got be taking any pharmaceutical drugs. From a guy like each gift items of teach us that if a deal of. The thing is no normal person including me can live without medications but there are some pharmaceutical drugs that i have to be on constantly for various Health Issues its the same for other people i spend in professional sports it is impossible to survive without medications because i asked lets work extremely hard overdo it if i get injured he also gets sick with the flu and common. In must have been just like everybody else his taste in the. Quite obviously it is impossible not to take anything. But there are certain examples where the time when the thoughts are noncompeting that even though its in the pudding will if a person assess it at home or somewhere else has to know i think when there is no competition going on that means they have to write down everything they are taking at the money so if theyre still to treat a certain sickness or injury or something else. During competitions it is best of the effort doesnt take anything at all should you see sitting in the lights because any painkillers any had a drugs or even a coffee can get them in trouble but no good as a new be like for example we had a situation when track and field outlets were disqualified after drinking a single cup of strong and tell him coffee that because because of there are no train szell enough kassin is not allowed. It is on the list as well so the situation is critical and it is getting im healthy and something needs to be done about it sexually the most difficult thing to figure out what should be done at the problem faces all countries or any of the thoughts in a chest youve shared your opinion in the Russian Media door and before the International OlympicCommittee Ruling it was a public debate in our country about the status russian thats leads should take what i know about if they were not allowed to compete to the russian flag can you believe that as additional was the by the in the end they did what you recommended actually and you say that no matter what is the athletes had to go to the olympics and storing. Many disagreed with you more such as dont know why do you think they held a different tell you what you know truth like our athletes have pressed from all sides not just internationally but also at home. They dont always get support here why you can even if you dug out of a prodigious rides. Well yes after i voiced my opinion that many people expressed their support by specially those who know this issue very well. But there were others whose reaction was extremely negative evil willis they called me horrible me and i dont understand why i deserve this i was just trying to explain the situation using my own experience i have been there i competed under the state flag that i listen to my country and i didnt get to go to the one nine hundred eighty four olympics so i know how it feels and i understand the situation very well mr chan sorry to interrupt because its so thats not all over you were his words russian t. V. Guide so lets watch a clip from ground where you voice your opinion before the International OlympicCommittee Ruling committee at that. It is easy to be patriot someone elses expense sitting on the couch and yelling about the flag we have one big problem in our country we value symbols to much yes they are important here and i am someone whos been there the state flag was raised the anthem was played in my honor and i had goose bumps but in two years nothing has been done to make sure that the slack can be raised that the olympics so it is complicated thats true were not thinking about the people but we should in our country we dont think about the people and then this particular case the athletes right now on this program we are failing them all together and i can only imagine how theyre watching us right now thinking am i a traitor whats going to happen to me now do you understand and i dont think that they are traitors to traders or those who did nothing in the past two years to make sure the team russia goes to the olympics with its flag and sent them you know id like to thank you for that statement and its very encouraging for our athletes and fans to hear the using words norm i think this is more than your point of view as an athlete i think it is also your position as a citizen of russia about what you spoke about what was the choice between the flag and the individual which in a tragic choice that is all too familiar to the russian people but these times your choice was made in favor of hour after night sort of negus actually highest level of the russian authorities at decision was taken to support our athletes wish to come indeed under a neutral just laxative when do you consider to be in a sense in mind a victory for a country with a not maybe in terms of overcoming itself and its past the next day i was in fact extremely happy to hear the president say that the government would not be announcing any sort of barriers and what not be impeding the participation of the athletes and that the state would support them as much as possible and that no one would be saying that these athletes are sponsors and all will lot as they trained at the expense of other. Rely on other support to go to the olympics when you first and foremost they will represent not only themselves and i will be making a strong case for that and there are a lot of people who should also be given credit is that if i received a great many comments on social media regarding the money that should have been given to doctors and teachers and all these athletes and heres what i want to say what is it really the case that a coach is not a different kind of she turns even the already and say yes godless a folk you patient will of course always know our own ass knew exactly so many people work with every athlete in this situation doesnt mean that now we should throw them all in the trash the effort is just a front because in any case this is not how you treat your team members so was glad to know that were going to the olympics after all and that our athletes will receive the necessary support and you know why one reason is that some people say they want to put us down and this is why we should not be going there as a matter of principle i agree that we should be acting out of principle but in a different the opposite way really nice things to say want to humiliate us so that we wont go to and i as in that but with a true fighting spirit you think we must go in spite of it out of principle paints a new one thousand just to annoy them. Yell and theyve given it to me i mean you still brings me a question i wanted to ask you about that i see that going in i want a way or another russia will have to work with the World Antidoping Agency out of them so the russians leadership including the president says that we intend to go to games being keep the republic we acknowledge we have some issues even though its not always entirely clear when we should be shooting we have indeed to acknowledge that but with this is something the government could be more transparent about i didnt i didnt its going of the stumbling blocks right you know whether russia except the finding tired talking Agency Reports and their league ation that russia had a state sponsored doping assisted architect got to shoot those who threw the russian situation weve been told the potential ramifications for russia swards if done to countries refutations and internet. Still standing by what stance should we take care of what i see is that a visual. Coverdell somebody buys you. From me that our position is clear that there has never been and there can never be any state sponsored doping system and russia asked for the specific cases of b. D. S. They are no different from regular criminal activities like corruption that you encounter in every other area of human life and there have always been people who break the law and we have to oppose them russia acknowledges this and we have done a lot over the last two years but unlike the i. O. C. And others the walling wont get done and yet not a single official has lost his office ive seen it true but if you look at the attitudes towards doping among the athletes themselves that they have changed dramatically and a lot has been done us by the way this is something that the has of other National Teams ought to do this well because they themselves have had a huge number of doping scandals and antidoping rule violations but ill say it again there has never been and never will be any state sponsored doping system in russia and our government is right in denying the satch ization this is exactly why we have to go to the olympics because we have been falsely accused if our paralympic athletes remain banned from the early weeks this year and next year but i just because russia refuses to accept the findings of the report do you think that would be unfair to them feel of the thing is as of now and ill speak about the Paralympic Team in a moment refused to accept the findings of the report and the part that pertains to High Performance sports becoming a limpid games but if we look at the i. O. C. Report and all of the accusations and demands within it and we have to stick with it they would say that it says that once russia meets all the requirements that its our athletes will be able to stand on that the russian flag at the closing ceremony and we will be able to completely restore status and iraq should be it if there is yes but thats the International Olympic committee yes they i. O. C. Its different when it comes to paralympic. So to conclude my point about the i. See we have to win back our right to bear the flag since the government has been unable to do anything over the last two years it is up to the athletes and once we restore our rights we will be able to participate in the twenty twenty Tokyo Olympics under our own flag starting from the Opening Ceremony but now as for the paralympic athletes but i think this is another challenge to overcome to be frank i have a problem with the way our government has been dealing with the issue of the maybe some of the officials in the in the president are not receiving complete and honest reports on the matter the truth is theres a lot we can do by invoking philippic charter and all other sports related documents in order to resolve the problem through legal means but two years have passed and nothing has been done nothing is being done still that still is a thirst so many ways to go forward and restore the status quo we can go so far as to sue all those organizations but i didnt ask for the paralympic athletes we must fight for their rights the bullet that in fact it was two years ago that we should have started doing something putting aside the problems facing the current Paralympic Team that i hope they wont be too angry with me now because it was then that we had to stand our ground but nothing was done to let our athletes were forgotten and dismissed and everybody expected the problem to magically vanish the show and now were back at the start with no guarantee that our efforts will be able to compete we need to have the highest authority in our country to stand up for a fellow athletes to pick a pleasant wasnt. Well we have to take a very short break now but well be back in just a few moments stay tuned. For. Spiritual people have been saying about rejected and then you do exactly this full on awesome millers show i go out of my way to gently but it still really packs a punch oh yeah theres the john all. For a hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than bluegrass. And see people you never heard of love went back to the night my president of the world bank hey im going to write it to me its like you sent us an email. Six times or financial survival guide. When customers go by you reduce the price. To now well reduce some lower. Thats undercutting but whats good for the market is not good for the global economy. Apply for many clubs over the years so i know the gaming sorry guys. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch to the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the super money just kill you narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. Its an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy my great so will more chance with. The piece its going to. Join me every thursday on the Alex Salmonds show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back to worlds apart but that channel russias triple jump Gold Medalist at the ninety ninety five world indoor championships open the. National teams only i also have to put some effort into cleaning up the sport so to speak because its no secret that some National Teams have a fairly large number of athletes with chronic conditions sent to describe each game is a believer and while preparing for the soon to view i looked at some days certainly with the cant according to the university of Professor John dickinson seventy percent of british swimmers and sixty percent of skiers of have asked but i knew that because if we take britain as a whole only to twelve per cent of the population have asthma so its like the either asthma patients have an amazing aptitude for olympic sports or olympic sports course which i think we can agree isnt great but which to think is more likely is just cheating in lies of course still officially get the green light to use the banned substances that are on the list because its just a sham and its unfair to those people who are not allowed to take the. Sat its just so we all understand even you both who dont do star sports is swimming and skiing a little doing sports you cant cause as rents no of course not tons of people in other National Teams including the russian team dont have as much they are doing just fine they win medals they ski and shoot and theres nothing wrong with their health by the way they were cases when cold air did lead to several of our athletes experiencing asthma like symptoms in National Call i did six that usual but back then it was back in the soviet days or rather the transitional period from the u. S. S. R. To russia are skiing and biathlon officials try. To apply to the International Federation for therapeutic use exemptions that athletes from norway and finland have for example thats because if someone uses drugs that open up their ways on the lungs why cant other teams do it to a brackets and its not a i mean if they can use this drug so why cant we do it what do you know what the answer was if they have a condition they shouldnt do sports its a sport heres what id like to know why didnt they refuse new region and finish athletes with that so they can continue to do sport and the rest should just quit or join the Paralympic Movement simply astonishing im not even talking about american gymnast and swimmers we know all about that. Because i was just going to ask you about another condition thats why its trad among western massachusetts of at this in a tension deficit hyperactivity disorder or a dea agent i started to the United States and from my own experience i know that its not easy to do get diagnosed with it for exams many students just fake the symptoms and it is a struggle to decide its significantly improves your concentration and productivity because possibly nobody up im sure that its all legal because the diagnostic of truth should be very different seem to be so what can you do about it but thats the vision is because if you can just contact the u. S. Department of health and tell them theyre not being very responsible about how they diagnose these conditions itll get much disk is there anything you can do to experience them or not so you need to the problem right now was it a paycheck well thats another interesting is surely a lot more so with that we could probably apply for a therapeutic use exemption for those assets who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder you know well we all sort of have a certain time is good if anyone from other National Teams including russia actually tries to do that theyll be shut down immediately get out in the wooded thats why no one asks do they all know they wont be allowed out of the i cant understand why its allowed there if a person suffers from such a serious condition. And they consider it a serious one of they prescribe such strong drugs but i remember the american gymnast yes im on biles yes im on dial she said i have a serious condition so i have to take it well if its so serious which to paralympics or its there are no restrictions there there are paralympians with prophetic body parts to run and jump and so one of her till i was just going to say marcus ram a german athlete who like you competes in the long jump events risk of but it was denied permission to participate in the real lympics. And he ruled that he is perceived as shit that regarded him with an advantage over there are other athletes but thats even though he job special eight meters and forty centimeters look wow thats impressive which is comparable to the top results in the world yes absolutely i want to clear up yes sure one thing in your opinion some National Teams are going to get preferential treatment or individuals should they get the ins you do i like a quote the bipod does want to make up a lot in the bush a little bit yes i think some National Teams are more equal than others the fact that the u. S. Team get special treatment became Crystal Clear to me at the two thousand and eight beijing olympics when all the swimming finals were scheduled for the morning for swimming thats just absurd the bull i talked to many swimmers and they couldnt understand how it was possible the reason was that the American Media was going to broadcast this events life at prime time in the evening u. S. Time you could go to watch so while swimming finals were rescheduled to take place on the morning. At the casino a lot well that could be just about money not about getting good results a lot but its all connected money sports politics we cant separate sports and politics for a long time theyve been going hand in hand maybe even intertwined to the extent where you cant tell which is which and what dominates its a disaster it completely changes how athletes train. And we dont understand whats going on most american outlets have these weird therapeutic use exemptions for some reason that well other people dont and yet there were many cases of americans getting caught duping which we all know about take track and field for example that over the last few years a number of american track and field athletes were disqualified for using banned substances and not just some Athletes International stars shouldnt they apologize and repent as well there were cases of athletes dont being and maybe even the state sponsored doping program but i know everybody decided to think on russia something smells fishy. You know they had to have the u. S. Sentai adopting agency spoke about which by the way since twenty fifteen gets funding not only directly from the White House Bill its also from the pentagon know what its curious isnt it that the pentagon is so committed to tackling the doping problem and this information is open and freely available to us and go fresh that so they had to think on the United StatesAntidoping Agency believes that when russia raises these questions about europe you do you can use exemptions and so on is just an attempt to distribute people from russias throws aggression and i think that when they raise these questions its not a diversion. But again no also. How does it work that you ok lets say were doing it to distract people but then so are you so lets stop distracting people separate a limpy else from paralympians and start with these weird turbulent years exemptions weve all heard about Serena Williams she takes hormones but i think. Well that information was leaked by hackers such a glove on the hand of the u. S. Antidoping agency adopted its a violation of privacy of course there are political and geopolitical aspects involved here as well and you know it to me the entire world is probably following the developments in the situation and russia World Antidoping Agency the u. S. And canadian representatives that were. Antidoping agency and each country has its own history and when it comes to still being right and fighting to save cup wish they were seeing these countries are rigid to work with them i mean and they feel its high time to cease to negotiate some clear of an i. V. And understandable rules that everyone would follow only with sanctions for violations introduced without political bias. So that athletes understand would it be as yes they go to court and they will get behind the medical orderly but also. Of course its been a Long Time Coming since the one nine hundred ninety s. Well actually everything was more or less fine back when we also had representatives at all those organizations but as i said in the ninetys were so busy with nation building that we put sports on the back burner and we were no longer represented there but today to put it simply if we sit down at this table today with a couple more people and start making decisions well listen to everyone present and then im sure youll agree will make a decision that doesnt have any negative impact on anyone sitting at the table those who were in there with you know that its well thats their problem if they were might make a decision that would somehow infringe on their rights but so what they were in there but our decision definitely one hurt anyone who was at the table this is very important and you spoke about finally docked in new rules it has to be done and it has to be done at the negotiating table is that enough but its vital that our country is there i feel that bridge that with because now i just want to go to a few weeks ago we had the head of the canadian Antidoping Center on the show and he said in the last few years he would not in the nineteen ninety is a true simply russia has not raised the issue of fewer puti if you use exemptions. Theres a recession you put it so its not only the athletes who are left unprotected in some ways but for me on the show it seems that the russian delegation hasnt told us been editing or taking a pause in Decision Making at the International Level the canadian official is absolutely right that this is where our sports officials simply fail to do their job and then its just not a blunder i think its more like intentional damage. But that the posting of those thing in our sports bureaucrats were playing against us in their National Sport to get people who fail to do that who didnt do that they have to be punished and very severely because they just fail to do their job and they didnt deserve the money that they got for doing it thats the truth of it all of the yeah but i wouldnt fuku six crucible punishments are just being silly or its officials should we need to start doing that or should start making the same demands on themselves as they do of the athletes and that will be fair of course of course was a cartoon they want our red lights to win and estimate the number of medals but well why dont you just go ahead and score some points to put up the cash well unfortunately we have to leave it there i really really appreciate your time and tell me yours please keep the conversation going on our social media pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here on the worlds apart. How does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world its as close to being a king as any job there is what Business Model helps to run a prison now we just do it on like a video visitation i dont know what comes anymore when i was a sergeant may be more Cost Effective thats what they want to do that they dont give a damn if you. Actually pay enough to put it back into. The louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u. S. N. Breach what secret is behind such success. Los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an Alarming Number of People Living on the streets. The simple fact in l. A. Is theres just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in theres nowhere to come in and its been a struggle. And this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. You know having Something Like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you heard someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and this is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis.
