The participants unanimously approved Yuri Ganus for this position.

Numerous interviews were conducted, more than 700 questionnaires were studied and analyzed, 6 of which were eventually proposed for consideration by the Supervisory Board. Almost unanimously, we approved the candidacy of Yuri Ganus, after which we recommended it for approval to the founders of RUSADA. And today we can congratulate Yuri Alexandrovich on the official start of work. We are ready to support him in his future activities.”

Vladimir Lukin, President of the Russian Paralympic Committee:

“At today's meeting of the founders, the discussion turned out to be informal and very thorough. We came to the conclusion that Yury Aleksandrovich has the necessary qualities to manage the work of RUSADA at a difficult and crucial moment, when it is necessary to make every effort to restore the Agency’s rights as soon as possible, ensure effective work and interaction with international structures”.

In my opinion, the main tasks are as soon as possible ensure the admission of all Russian athletes and federations to participate in international competitions, remove restrictions on holding international competitions on the territory of Russia, integrate the work of RUSADA into international system WADA, and here, I hope, the experience of interacting with foreign organizations in terms of communications. It is also necessary to raise the credibility of the Russian anti-doping system as a whole, to ensure the protection of our clean athletes and the systematic order in the activities of the Agency. To do this, I will definitely hold meetings with the leaders of all-Russian sports federations and plan to involve joint work all interested parties.

For me new position is definitely a challenge. I, like any caring citizen of my country, am very worried about what has been happening recently with Russian sports. I myself played handball in my youth, and not so long ago I was a member of the Board of Directors of the Soviet Sport publication, so sports topics have always been very close to me. And, it seems to me, work in RUSADA can become the work of my whole life.”

Against the background of the other candidates, he seemed to us the most professional, behaved quite confidently during the interview. And most importantly, he is interested in work, loves sports, wholeheartedly supports athletes and is ready to do the best for the good of sport,” the Olympic champion said.

A full biography of the very versatile head of RUSADA can be found on the R-Sport website.

Recall that after a series of media reports about the alleged systematic use of doping by Russian athletes, an investigation was launched by an independent WADA commission, which on November 9, 2015 presented a report on the work of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF), the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory and RUSADA. As a result, the ARAF membership in the international federation was suspended, the accreditation of the laboratory was revoked, and on November 18, RUSADA was recognized as not complying with the WADA code, and the work of the agency was also suspended.

The "roadmap" subsequently formed by WADA for the restoration of RUSADA's work included several points, most of which have now been completed.

Under an agreement with an international agency, since April 2016, two independent experts have been working in Russia - Australian Peter Nicholson and Lithuanian Eva Lukosyute-Stanikouniene.

On September 24, the WADA executive committee will meet in Paris, the agenda of which includes the issue of the status of RUSADA. The final decision can only be made at a meeting of the WADA Board of Founders, which will be held on November 16 in Seoul, South Korea.

We bring to the attention of readers an interview with the head of RUSADA, Yuri Ganus, who has headed the Agency since September 1 last year. He gave an interview on the radio program "Debriefing" on "Echo of Moscow".

Stanislav Kryuchkov: Yuri Alexandrovich, this rather short period, 7 months of your leadership, a year of team formation, was enough to at least reduce that negativity to zero, restore an acceptable level of trust between you and the International Anti-Doping Agency?

Yuri Ganus, head of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency: You know, this is not enough. We have normal, good business, working relationships, and in this regard, the task is to build relationships with WADA, and, well, build relationships with the global anti-doping community, because WADA is a regulator, but there are national anti-doping agencies. Here is the iNADO measure, which sounded quite loud when I came, in my opinion, on September 19 there was a statement by 38 national anti-doping agencies and iNADO, there was a general statement that was just categorically in favor of expelling the Russian national Olympic team from participating in the Olympics. During this time, we have built a normal working relationship. We build trust, but it takes time.

You see, the problem is that the international anti-doping community is a closed club, in fact. I asked a question to the WADA team leader who worked for us, Tim Ricketts, or rather, he asked me a question in an informal conversation, asked the question: “Do you know how many people work in anti-doping in the world?”. And I, frankly, after enterprises that employ 27 thousand people ...

Stanislav Kryuchkov: How?

Yuri Ganus: Fifteen thousand. Around the world, imagine. This is family. And the problem is just a misunderstanding of why we are perceived this way. This is a family relationship, when there is such a crisis in the family, a severe crisis, and initially there is a kind of rejection, on the other hand, an understanding of what we are. They help us, they hope for us that we will go, but this will take time, that is, we will need more years, and not just years of being nearby, but years of concrete work. The question is not what we say and what we declare, but the question is what we do concretely.

Andrey Ezhov: And from your point of view, is it right that this is a closed, limited community, or do you simply take it for granted? Here are the 1500 people you mentioned.

Yuri Ganus: No, you know, it's not closed, it's just developing. Moreover, it is actively developing with the participation of the World Anti-Doping Agency, and, in fact, both NADO and others. organizational structures countries directly, just different forms of manifestation of this anti-doping activity. But it's just that initially this problem is now gaining serious relevance, that is, the problem of doping is a global problem. Look, in fact, to what extent there are changes in the international Olympic movement and changes in general in the agenda of international competitions. Therefore, doping is an international problem in this respect.

Stanislav Kryuchkov: Yuri Alexandrovich, is it possible to return to this large RUSADA family against the background of such statements that are heard officially, from those in power, from our deputies? Here Irina Rodnina gave a big interview here the other day to Sports.ru and declares that WADA is a biased organization, there was no support for doping in Russia.

Andrey Ezhov: Americans fund WADA.

Stanislav Kryuchkov A: We do not recognize the existence of errors.

Yuri Ganus: No, listen, I want to say the following right away: I am a categorical opponent of the demonization of WADA. Here is my understanding of WADA's mission: WADA is a filter, a filter of sport, namely pure sport. Therefore, it is the World Anti-Doping Organization among the founders who 50⁄50 are athletes, and the second 50% are representatives of states. And in fact, the representative of our state represented in the composition of the founders of WADA. Therefore, you know, I want to say, here are the statements ... there is no politics here, I am a categorical opponent of the politicization of the doping problem, because, first of all, this is a problem in our house, and this problem needs to be addressed. Moreover, if we say that this is an external problem, we will lose the future generation of athletes, because the problems that we have ...

And we have serious problems in the regions. Now, if you listened to the story about Irkutsk, when our doping control inspectors went there, and there, in fact, about 40 athletes, 38, did not reach the distance, or did not reach the finish line, 38. Listen, well, this is ... Strictly speaking, we no one was waiting there. Moreover, there are some athletes here in a certain period of time… We control through the ADAMS system where our athletes are. They chose Kenya as the location. We sent DCOs there precisely to show our athletes that we will be where no one is waiting for us.

And therefore, we are really interested in putting things in order within our country - both for the sake of clean athletes who are now, and, I would say, more in strategic interests, for the sake of future generations, those young boys and girls who are now starting their way into sports.
