Olympic and world champion in the hammer throw Szymon Ziolkowski is not surprised by reports WADA doping cover-up in Russia. – It’s not just this country – he said.
– In my opinion cheering on such a scale not only for the Russian athletes. Under the magnifying glass should be taken of all countries of the former Soviet Union as well as China and Kenya. The problem is much bigger than the moment may seem to us – said Ziolkowski.
The decision to expel Russia from the IAAF on Friday ?
The Olympic champion from Sydney believes that sport by doping loses its meaning. – Why watch the competition if you do not know who is clean and does an athlete who wins a medal will not have him for a moment pay? Doping is cheating, and as I was in the IAAF Athletes’ Commission signaled a problem. We presented a number of options, but this was met with acceptance. It is a battle with the windmills and do not believe that anything has changed – he added.
Ziolkowski, three-time medalist at the World Championships, also noted that later there is a problem with enforcing financial rewards.
– After every coin has its value. But only one who we wywalczymy directly in competition. If the disqualification occurs a few months later, and this is the most common, is “pure” people do not get a financial bonus. It’s gone. This issue also signaled but the IAAF told us that we need the courts to enforce a refund directly from athletes caught for doping who have previously received the appropriate checks. This is absurd – Ziolkowski said.
That’s why AZS Poznan AXIS believes that the IAAF should in such cases impose a particular federation. And if that does not want to pay, then the crash.
too mild punishment?
– But any association depend on that to be represented at the international arena. Any such suspension would therefore be very severe. The fight against doping has no ready-made solutions. They must, however, be drastic, otherwise we will never eliminate – he stressed.

Also for the players themselves, the penalties are – in his opinion – too mild. – There should be many times higher. And for doping at the Olympics, should be limited to freedom. Such a player yet committed fraud to the state. He prepared himself for the taxpayers’ money for the event. It is therefore evident stealing funds from the budget. Already I’m not talking about what relief the country, which had proudly represent – he added.
Ziolkowski also mentioned about the problems with which the auditors antydopingowi have to struggle in countries such as China or Kenya.
– In China, they are not able to conclude whether the competitor that comes to investigate is certainly that for which it claims to be. The citizens of this country for us are almost identical. The same is true of Africa. Getting there to the village, where the athlete is at any given time to stay, bordering already a miracle – he said.
Investigation Commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has recommended on Monday the IAAF immediate exclusion of Russia from all structures of the organization.
