Detection of doping threatens the athlete with severe penalties, including complete exclusion from the sport. When prohibited drugs are detected for the first time (with the exception of sympathomimetic drugs such as ephedrine and its derivatives), he is disqualified for 2 years, if repeated - for life. If you take sympathomimetics for the first time, you will be disqualified for 6 months, the second time for 2 years, and the third time for life. In this case, the coach and doctor who observed the athlete are also subject to punishment. The use of any substances officially classified as narcotic drugs as doping entails appropriate administrative and criminal penalties. Currently, proposals have been made to the country's legislative bodies to introduce criminal penalties for taking anabolic steroids without medical indications, or inclination to take them.

Athlete Personnel Responsibilities

Athlete personnel must:

Study in detail the World Anti-Doping Code, the Prohibited List, the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions, the International Standard for Testing;

Provide the athlete with information about all aspects of doping control;

Know the anti-doping rules and the consequences associated with their violation;

Know what substances and methods are prohibited during the competitive and out-of-competition periods;

Possess information on the use of dietary supplements in sports and the dangers associated with their use.

Up to 80% of products sports nutrition on the Russian market are fakes that may contain substances prohibited in sports. It is important to remember that you can only purchase dietary supplements from trusted suppliers who have the necessary documentation for the products.

If the involvement of personnel in the violation by the athlete is proven anti-doping rules, stricter sanctions are applied to him than to the athlete.

Sanctions against athlete personnel:

1. Prescribing or attempting to prescribe prohibited substances and methods to an athlete, distributing or attempting to distribute a prohibited substance or prohibited method, aiding, concealing or any other type of complicity in an athlete’s violation of anti-doping rules shall entail the application of sanctions against personnel in the form of disqualification from four years to life.

2. If an anti-doping rule violation was committed by a minor athlete and the guilt of the personnel is proven, such a violation is considered as particularly serious and a lifetime disqualification is applied to the personnel.

Anti-doping rules and sanctions for their violations

According to the World Anti-Doping Agency Code, doping is defined as one or more anti-doping rule violations.

Anti-doping rule violations include:

1. The presence of prohibited substances in the athlete’s sample.

2. The use or attempted use of prohibited substances and methods by an athlete.

3. Evasion of taking a sample.

4. Failure to provide information about the whereabouts of the athlete. Providing inaccurate/false location information.

5. Sample substitution/attempt to substitution.

6. Possession of substances and methods prohibited in sports.

7. Distribution or attempt to distribute substances and methods prohibited in sports.

8. Prescribing or attempting to prescribe a prohibited substance or method to an athlete.

Sanctions for anti-doping rule violations

The length of ineligibility depends on the type of violation, the class of prohibited substance found in the sample, and whether the violation was committed for the first time.

The national anti-doping organization RUSADA takes samples from athletes and investigates cases of violation of anti-doping rules.

If a violation of anti-doping rules occurs during the competitive period, the results shown by the athlete at the competition are canceled and the athlete is deprived of medals and prizes.

Disqualification for a first anti-doping rule violation is established for two years in the following cases:

The presence of a prohibited substance in the athlete’s sample, evasion of sample collection,

Sample substitution/attempt to substitution,

Possession of substances and methods prohibited in sports, use or attempted use by an athlete of prohibited substances and methods.

Disqualification for a period of four years to life is established for the following violations:

Distribution or attempt to distribute substances and methods prohibited in sports,

Prescribing or attempting to prescribe a prohibited substance or method to an athlete.

A violation committed by a minor athlete with the complicity of staff is considered especially serious. If the involvement of athlete personnel in such an anti-doping rule violation is proven, the personnel will be disqualified for life.

If an athlete misses three tests in a row out of competition or fails to provide whereabouts within 18 months, a period of ineligibility of up to two years will apply.

Easing sanctions

The athlete has the right to provide justification for the lifting or reduction of sanctions. If the athlete can explain how the prohibited substance entered his body and prove that it was not intended to enhance sports results, the period of disqualification may be reduced, canceled or replaced with another type of sanction (for example, a reprimand).

Minor guilt

If the athlete can prove that he is not guilty of an anti-doping rule violation, the period of ineligibility may also be reduced.

An athlete's voluntary admission of an anti-doping rule violation may be grounds for reducing the period of ineligibility. There will be no reduction in the period of sanctions if the voluntary confession occurs after the athlete realized that he was at risk of exposure.

Aggravating circumstances that may lead to an increase in the period of disqualification

Examples of aggravating circumstances that may result in longer periods of ineligibility than standard sanctions include the following:

It has been established that the violation of anti-doping rules by the athlete was carried out consciously, systematically or by conspiracy;

The athlete possessed a large number of prohibited substances or methods or used them repeatedly;

Repeated violations

Second anti-doping rule violation:

In case of a repeated violation of anti-doping rules, the period of ineligibility is established on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the severity of both violations.

Third anti-doping rule violation:

If a third anti-doping rule violation is determined, a lifetime period of ineligibility will be imposed.

Prohibition from participation during period of ineligibility

A disqualified athlete is not entitled to compete in any capacity during the period of ineligibility. Such an athlete can only take part in special anti-doping educational or rehabilitation programs.

In addition, an athlete who is ineligible must be tested for the presence of prohibited substances in his body.

Financial sanctions

For violation of anti-doping rules, in addition to disqualification, financial sanctions may also be applied to the athlete. Their size is determined by the relevant anti-doping organization.

Anti-doping rule violation in team sports sports

Testing in team sports

If more than one player in a team has an anti-doping rule violation, competition organizers must conduct targeted testing of the team during the competition.

Implications in team sports

If more than two members of a team in a team sport violate anti-doping rules during a competition, the team must be subject to sanctions by the competition organizers (e.g., forfeiture of points earned, disqualification for the duration of the competition, or sporting event, other) in addition to the sanctions imposed on the individual athletes who committed the violation.

Compared to the version adopted in the first reading, the document was adjusted towards softening, taking into account the amendments proposed by the Russian government.

If the bill initially provided for up to 15 years of imprisonment if the use of prohibited means or methods resulted in significant harm to the health or death of the athlete, now the perpetrators may face either up to three years of restriction of liberty with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to five years or without it, or up to three years of forced labor or imprisonment with deprivation of the right to hold positions or engage in activities for a term of up to five years.

CRIMINAL LIABILITY
AS A PREVENTION

One of the initiators of the bill is a deputy State Duma and p Resident of the Curling Federation (FCR) of Russia Dmitry Svishchev said that the introduction of criminal liability is not an end in itself. And he proposed to fight violators with a complex of not only legislative, but also financial measures: “The existing disciplinary liability of athletes, their coaches and staff does not exhaust its capabilities to prevent the use of doping,” noted the head of the FKR. “The introduction of criminal liability is, to a large extent, , a preventive measure to curb connivance in doping violations such as inducement to use prohibited drugs and methods, falsification and concealment of doping tests. With this step, we show that we are ready for constructive cooperation with WADA specialists who indicate systematic, in their opinion. , facts of concealment and falsification in Russian anti-doping structures.

- Let's clarify one more point. It is no secret that some of our athletes consciously take the doping path, because they understand that if they manage to win Olympic medal, they will receive an apartment, a car and substantial prize money. At the same time, everyone knows that, even if their deception is revealed over time, no one will demand a return from them.

This is true; it is now technically impossible to force someone to return something to the state. But this issue will have to be resolved sooner or later. “As an option, athletes will sign certain guarantees, according to which they undertake to return the money and everything else if doping violations are discovered, even after a while.”

HOW IS IT IN EUROPE?

“After the adoption of this law, we will reach the level of the most advanced and uncompromising countries towards doping - Italy and Germany,” the head of the independent public anti-doping commission said in an interview with SE Vitaly Smirnov. But, if you look carefully at the legislation of Italy and Germany, it turns out that the Russian law on doping is not at all a copy of Western models. The main difference is that we do not provide penalties for doping by the athlete himself.

GERMANS PLACE IN PRISON FOR DOPING

The most recent law on doping in sports, apart from the Russian one, was adopted in Germany about a year ago. The Germans did not hide that new law they were inspired by the Russian doping collapse, which ultimately led the country to exclusion from some international organizations and put it on the brink of missing out Olympic Games. To prevent such a nightmare in its country, Germany has tightened the legislation related to the use and distribution of prohibited substances and methods as much as possible.

In terms of wording, fines and prison terms, the future Russian law is similar to the German one. Except for the most important point: in Germany the very fact of doping is a crime, but here it is not. So-called “self-doping” in Germany can lead to imprisonment for as long as three years, while in Russia (as in Italy) only distribution is criminally punishable. True, in Germany we are talking only about professional athletes who, with the help of prohibited substances, gain an illegal advantage over their rivals and thereby increase their income. If you use, say, steroids to bulk up for your own wedding, only your supplier will go to jail, not you.

It is too early to talk about the practice of applying the law in Germany - it has only been in force for about a year. But the main difficulty has already emerged: professional athletes constantly move between countries, and for the punishment to be truly universal, it must be accepted everywhere. According to the Constitution, German criminal law is applicable only in the territory of this country. That is, German athletes or their personnel caught doing something abroad can feel safe. But foreigners conducting training camps or competitions in Germany are required to obey local laws and, in case of violation, may also face criminal prosecution. The law will apply exactly the same principle in Russia.

ITALIANS DO NOT HAVE TIME TO BRING CASES TO COURT

Most great experience in relation to doping prosecutions has accumulated in Italy - the law there has been in force for decades. According to official statistics, between 2001 and 2009, 313 criminal cases related to doping were opened in the country, that is, an average of 35 cases per year. Between 2006 and 2009, 683 people were convicted.

More recent statistics do not yet exist because Italian legal proceedings are slow: on average, it takes more than four years to resolve one criminal case. As a result, the statute of limitations expires on most doping issues and the case is closed. That doesn’t stop the Italians from starting new businesses and pursuing new coaches and doctors.

The Italians are very good at collecting evidence, as they have the opportunity to conduct an official investigation, - the official website of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) cites the opinion of the Sports Arbitrator arbitration court(CAS) Ulrich Haas. - Yes, Italy is extremely slow in processing cases, and as a result, many deadlines expire. But from the point of view of sports arbitration, it is not so important whether the case in Italy ends in a guilty verdict or not. Rather, it plays a role whether CAS and international federations. And from this point of view, Italy is very effective.

It is interesting, by the way, that a negative attitude towards the so-called whistleblowers (“whistleblowers” ​​- English) is characteristic not only of Russia. Italian cyclist Filippe Simeoni, like the Stepanovs, openly testified as a witness in the mid-2000s, admitting that Dr. Ferrari prescribed him illegal drugs. Subsequently, Simeoni was unable to find work for any of the major cycling teams and was criticized by many famous racers, including Lance Armstrong, who later also admitted to doping.

In general, despite the slowness of the judicial system, the anti-doping law in Italy still bears fruit. At least in terms of the fact that all packages of medicines containing prohibited drugs have a large, visible “doping” sign. A big deal for Russia, where “I didn’t know” and “I didn’t see” are still the most common excuses for athletes and doctors.

2.3.10.1. All violations of the rules and warnings must be brought to the attention of the Jury, which has the right to remove the athlete or team from participation in the competition.

Classification

2.3.11.1. Classification in the team competition.

First tour.

a) Based on the sum of places occupied by athletes of one Team in their zones. If the weight of catches in one zone is equal, athletes having the same weight are counted for a place equal to the arithmetic average of the sum of the places that they had to share.
Example 1: two anglers competing for 5th place receive (5+6): 2= 5.5 place each.
Example 2: three anglers competing for 8th place each receive (8+9+10)/3= 9th place.

b) The team that receives the least amount of places is considered first and so on in order.

c) An athlete left without a catch receives a place equal to the arithmetic average for places in the range of which there are the same anglers (without a catch) in his zone.
Example 1: 24 athletes in the zone, 12 took the first 12 places in their catches, the remaining 12 were left without a catch and receive (13+24)/2=18.5 places each.
Example 2: 20 athletes in the zone, 18 of them took places from 1st to 18th, and two were left without a catch and receive (19+20)/2=19.5 place each.

d) If in a zone one athlete is left without a catch, then he receives the last place in this zone.

e) If the athlete is absent or was withdrawn from the competition, then he receives the last place in this zone plus 1 penalty point.

Second round.

The classification is identical to the first round.

2.3.11.2. Summing up the results of the competition.

a) The sum of places occupied in two rounds by athletes of the main team of the Team is calculated. The team with the least amount of places is considered first, and so on in order.

b) In the event of equal sums of places for two or more Teams, the higher place is taken by the Team that has the highest total weight of catches shown by the athletes of the main composition of this Team for both rounds.

c) In case of equality of the total weight of catches, the Team with the largest Weight Limit catch shown by the athletes of the main composition of this Team in any of the rounds of this competition.

2.3.11.3. Classification in the individual competition.

a) The athlete’s places for both rounds are summed up; the athlete with the least amount of places is declared the winner in the individual competition and so on in order.

b) In the event of an equal sum of places for two or more athletes, the higher place is taken by the athlete who has the greater total weight of his personal catch for both rounds.

c) If the total weight of the catch for both rounds is equal, the athlete with the largest catch in any of the rounds takes a higher place.

d) In case of equality for this indicator, the numbers of their sectors for two rounds are summed up. The athlete with the highest amount gets an advantage.

e) Athletes who participated in only one round take place at the end standings individual competition, according to the order of their places.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR DOPING IN SPORTS

HER. STASEEV

The problem of doping has been and remains the most acute at the present time. Adopted Federal Law No. 82-FZ of May 7, 2010 “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Physical Culture and Sports in Russian Federation" establishes liability for violation of anti-doping rules, introduces and discloses the concept of "violation of anti-doping rules." However, despite these innovations, the new edition of the Law on Sports still defines only the responsibility of the athlete himself, although according to Part 8 of Article 26 of the Law on in sports (as amended), measures to prevent and combat doping in sports include establishing the responsibility of athletes, coaches, and other specialists in the field of physical culture and sports for violating anti-doping rules.
According to Part 4 of Art. 26 of the Law on Sports (as amended) violation of anti-doping rules by athletes, as well as coaches, other specialists in the field of physical culture and sports in relation to athletes, use in relation to animals participating in sports competition, prohibited substance and (or) prohibited method.
It is necessary to establish the independent responsibility of a wide range of entities for the use by athletes of substances and (or) methods prohibited for use in sports, for the possession of prohibited substances and (or) prohibited methods without permission for their therapeutic use; for distribution of a prohibited substance and (or) prohibited method; for the use or attempted use of a prohibited substance in relation to an athlete or the use or attempted use of a prohibited method in relation to him, etc., i.e. for any violation of anti-doping rules.
These actions are a prerequisite for the use of prohibited substances and (or) prohibited methods. Introducing severe penalties for such actions in order to prevent them is the most important condition for the fight against doping in sport.
This responsibility could be reflected in administrative legislation. The most acceptable type of liability seems to be the introduction of administrative fines for violating anti-doping rules. Limitations on the amount of fines for citizens and officials, provided for in Art. 3.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the possibility of applying a more severe punishment to an official compared to a citizen necessitate the definition of a clear circle of special subjects - officials in relation to sports activities. Medical personnel, trainers, managers sports organizations and teams - this is not a complete list of persons who are obliged to direct all efforts to prevent doping in sports, and as a result, their responsibility for offenses should be more stringent compared to other persons. Thus, it should be fixed in the note to Art. 2.4 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation the following wording:
“Specialists in the field of physical culture and sports, medical or paramedical personnel working with an athlete or treating athletes taking part or preparing to participate in a sports competition who have committed administrative offenses bear administrative responsibility as officials.”
This wording should be supplemented with a reference to the corresponding article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which provides for liability for doping in sports.
From the provisions of Part 3 of Art. 26 of the Law on Sports it follows that violation of anti-doping rules is also possible by legal entities. The introduction of administrative liability of legal entities for doping in sports will require changes to the Sports Law in order to more accurately describe the essence of a possible offense. Currently, sports legislation is based on the need to hold accountable only persons who are directly related to sports.
The issue of applying administrative punishment in the form of disqualification to guilty persons remains debatable. By its nature, disqualification is the deprivation individual the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities. The possibility of disqualifying an athlete is provided for by the Sports Law. The introduction of liability of a legal entity for doping in sports and at the same time of its officials will not require additional changes to the existing rules on disqualification. But, classifying sports specialists, medical personnel, etc. as officials, appropriate changes should be made to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In this case, it is necessary to determine what exactly the disqualification of these persons will consist of (Part 1 of Article 3.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) and to which persons it can be applied (Part 3 of Article 3.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
Experts propose to prohibit disqualified persons from engaging in activities in the field of physical culture and sports on the basis of an appropriate agreement. At the same time, this punishment with this wording will not be applicable to medical personnel, since medical activity is an activity in the field of healthcare. In addition, the concept of “engage in activities in the field of physical culture and sports” is too broad. It would be more correct to limit disqualification to certain positions, providing for a list of them in the regulations of the federal executive body in the field of physical culture and sports.
According to Part 3 of Art. 3.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation should be supplemented with the wording that disqualification can be applied “to specialists in the field of physical culture and sports.”
We should not forget about the responsibility of parents, with whose assistance doping in sports often becomes possible. When introducing the responsibility of parents and other legal representatives, it is necessary to reflect the responsibility of other persons who are entrusted with the responsibilities for the education and upbringing of minors.
The proposal to tighten punishment for acts against minors is reasonable, but it is necessary to take into account that the subject of liability in an administrative offense is a person of sixteen years of age. Accordingly, it is possible to limit the circle of minors to persons who have reached the age of sixteen. In this case, acts committed against athletes under the age of sixteen should be punished more severely.
Finally, the most important question remains about the range of subjects for the offense in question. Limiting the range of subjects of responsibility will give rise to a lot of ways to “escape” responsibility. Administrative legislation does not contain the institution of complicity. Let’s assume a situation where an athlete is persuaded to dope by an intermediary who is not a coach, parent, doctor, etc. Such a person cannot be held accountable if the circle of subjects is limited to persons related to sports.
The most correct thing would be to provide for the responsibility of everyone who commits such an act. Provide trainers, medical personnel, and other specialists as special subjects. Establish separate responsibility for these persons.
Considering that the Law on Sports will include a definition of doping in sports, it would be advisable to introduce administrative liability for special entities for “violation of anti-doping rules by athletes, as well as coaches, other specialists in the field of physical culture and sports in relation to athletes, use in relation to animals, participating in a sporting competition, a prohibited substance and/or a prohibited method."
Currently, it is difficult to determine which of the existing chapters of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation would be correct to include an article on liability for doping in sports. Administrative legislation has long been in need of a separate chapter devoted to sports offenses. In the absence of such a chapter, the most acceptable chapter is Chapter 6 “Administrative offenses encroaching on the health, sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population and public morality.”
Taking into account the May amendments to the Sports Law, the following wording is possible in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:
1) in the note to Art. 2.4 indicate:
“Specialists in the field of physical culture and sports, medical or paramedical personnel working with an athlete or involved in the treatment of athletes taking part or preparing to participate in a sports competition, who have committed administrative offenses provided for in Article __ of this Code, bear administrative responsibility as officials”;
2) part 3 art. 3.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, after the words “carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity,” add the words “to specialists in the field of physical culture and sports”;
3) "Article 6.17. Anti-doping rule violation
1. Inducing an athlete to use substances and (or) methods prohibited for use in sports both during the competitive period and during the out-of-competition period,
- entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of one thousand to three thousand rubles; for officials - from ten to fifteen thousand rubles or disqualification for up to one year.
