Following WADA’s decision in December 2019 to ban Russia from taking part in or hosting international competitions for four years, Alexey Avdokhin wrote: “Russia again tried to deceive everyone, but we were caught again – this is the main conclusion from today's decision of the Executive Committee WADA. Anyone surprised? It is unlikely, because our sport is an exact model of how decisions are made and priorities are set in Russia. We live in a country that mercilessly sacrifices the present and the future to erase the stains of the past. Which is clearly defined in the choice between a terrible end and infinite horror. For which politics is more important than people.”
