Gerade dachte man noch, Russland liefert Nordkorea die Langstrecken-Raketentechnik – und jetzt der Ausschluss von OLYMPIA in Südkorea – passt doch.

„Olympische Winterspiele 2018 – Russland ausgeschlossen“
.
Ich präsentiere hier die DEUTSCHLANDFUNK-Exposition, in der unkommentiert die INFORMATION des Tages berichtet wird. Dagegen hat die NEW YORK TIMES im nytimes.com dieses THEMA an allererster Stelle, Oben links, und in erheblichem Textumfang (dabei fällt das Wort „Thomas Bach“ erst ganz hinten, Deutschland wie immer bei der NY TIMES, eigentlich gar nicht oder marginalisiert. Indes THE GUARDIAN, meine tägliche britische Quelle hat ebenfalls umfangreich die RUSSLAND/PUTIN-Bestrafung für STAATS-DOPING klar und hart dargestellt.
.
DLF.de: „…Das Internationale Olympische Komitee hat Russland wegen des Doping-Skandals von den Winterspielen 2018 in Pyeongchang ausgeschlossen. Nachweislich nicht gedopte Athleten dürften aber unter neutraler Flagge teilnehmen, gab das IOC nach einer Sitzung des Exekutivkomitees in Lausanne bekannt.
Gegen den lange Zeit für den Spitzensport zuständigen russischen Vize-Regierungschef Mutko wurde ein lebenslanges Olympia-Verbot verhängt. IOC-Präsident Bach sprach von einem beispiellosen Angriff auf die Integrität der Olympischen Bewegung und des Sports. Das Russische Olympische Komitee kündigte Einspruch gegen die Entscheidung vor dem Internationalen Sportgerichtshof an.
Russland steht im Verdacht, über Jahre hinweg systematisches, staatlich gedecktes Doping betrieben zu haben, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit den Winterspielen in Sotschi 2014. Die Regierung in Moskau bestreitet die Vorwürfe.“

Russia Banned from Winter Olympics by I.O.C.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Russia’s Olympic team has been barred from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The country’s government officials are forbidden to attend, its flag will not be displayed at the opening ceremony and its anthem will not sound.
.
Any athletes from Russia who receive special dispensation to compete will do so as individuals wearing a neutral uniform, and the official record books will forever show that Russia won zero medals.
.
That was the punishment issued Tuesday to the proud sports juggernaut that has long used the Olympics as a show of global force but was exposed for systematic doping in previously unfathomable ways. The International Olympic Committee, after completing its own prolonged investigations that reiterated what had been known for more than a year, handed Russia penalties for doping so severe they were without precedent in Olympics history.
.
The ruling was the final confirmation that the nation was guilty of executing an extensive state-backed doping program. The scheme was rivaled perhaps only by the notorious program conducted by East Germany throughout the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.
.
Now the sports world will wait to see how Russia responds. Some Russian officials had threatened to boycott if the I.O.C. delivered such a severe punishment.
.
President Vladimir V. Putin seemed to predict a boycott of the Pyeongchang Games with a defiant dismissal of the doping scandal and a foreign policy in recent years that has centered on the premise that he has rescued Russia from the humiliation inflicted on it by the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union. His spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, said no boycott was under discussion before the announcement, however, and the news broke late in the evening in Moscow when an immediate official reaction was unlikely.
.
In barring Russia’s team, Olympic officials left the door open for some Russian athletes. Those with histories of rigorous drug testing may petition for permission to compete in neutral uniforms. A panel appointed by the International Olympic Committee will rule on each athlete’s eligibility.
.
Although it is unknown exactly how many will clear that bar, it is certain that the contingent from Russia will be depleted significantly. Entire sports — such as biathlon and cross-country skiing, in which Russia has excelled and in which its drug violations have been many — could be wiped out completely.
.
.
Olympic officials made two seemingly significant concessions to Russia:
.
– Any of its athletes competing under a neutral flag will be referred to as Olympic Athletes from Russia. That is a departure from how the I.O.C. has handled neutral athletes in the past. For example, athletes from Kuwait, which was barred from the 2016 Summer Games, were identified as Independent Olympic Athletes last year in Rio de Janeiro.
– Olympics officials said they might lift the ban on Russia in time for the closing ceremony, suggesting the nation’s flag could make a symbolic appearance in the final hours of the Pyeongchang Games.
.
Thomas Bach, president of I.O.C., has said he was perturbed not only by Russia’s widespread cheating but by how it had been accomplished: by corrupting the Olympic laboratory that handled drug testing at the Games, and on orders from Russia’s own Olympic officials.
.
“This decision should draw a line under this damaging episode,” Mr. Bach said at a news conference, noting that Alexander Zhukov, the president of Russia’s Olympic Committee whom the I.O.C. suspended from its membership Tuesday, had issued an apology — something global regulators have long requested from the nation.
.
.
In an elaborate overnight operation at the 2014 Sochi Games, a team assembled by Russia’s sports ministry tampered with more than 100 urine samples to conceal evidence of top athletes’ steroid use throughout the course of competition. More than two dozen Russian athletes have been disqualified from the Sochi standings as a result, and Olympic officials are still sorting through the tainted results and rescinding medals.
.
At the coming Games, Mr. Bach said Tuesday, a special medal ceremony will reassign medals to retroactive winners from Sochi. But, in light of legal appeals from many of the Russian athletes who have been disqualified by the I.O.C., it is uncertain if all results from Sochi will be finalized in time.
.
The Russian Olympic Committee was also fined $15 million on Tuesday, money that global officials said will be put toward drug-testing international athletes.
.
[Read The Times’s report that first laid out the details of Russia’s doping scheme, and the exclusive story of a whistle-blower’s personal diaries that were shared with investigators.]
.
The punishment announced Tuesday resembles what antidoping regulators had lobbied for leading up to the 2016 Summer Games, where Russia was allowed to participate but in restricted numbers. It is likely to face a legal appeal from Russia’s Olympic Committee.
.
The decision was announced after top International Olympic Committee officials had met privately with Mr. Zhukov; Vitaly Smirnov, Russia’s former sports minister who was last year appointed Mr. Putin to lead a national antidoping commission to redeem Russia’s standing in global sports; and Evgenia Medvedeva, a two-time world skating champion.
.
“Everyone is talking about how to punish Russia, but no one is talking about how to help Russia,” Mr. Smirnov said, sipping a hot beverage in the lobby of the Lausanne Palace Hotel before delivering his final appeal to officials. “Of course we want our athletes there, and we want the Russian flag and anthem,” he said.
.
That appeal was rejected in light of the conclusions of Samuel Schmid, a former president of Switzerland whom the Olympic committee appointed last year to review the findings of a scathing investigation commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
.
“The analysis is clear and water-tight,” Mr. Schmid said Tuesday. In a 30-page report, he affirmed the credibility of whistle-blowers and investigators who had followed their leads and evidence.
.
Tuesday’s penalty was in line with what had been advocated by two key whistle-blowers whose accounts upended Russia’s standing in global sports over the last several years and were cited in Mr. Schmid’s report: Grigory Rodchenkov, the chemist who spent 10 years as Russia’s antidoping lab chief and was key to carrying out the cheating schemes in Sochi; and Vitaly Stepanov, a former employee of Russia’s antidoping agency who married a runner for Russia’s national team and was the first to speak publicly about the nation’s institutionalized cheating.
.
“The world knows that hundreds of Olympic dreams have been stolen by the doping system in the country where I was born,” Mr. Stepanov wrote in an affidavit submitted to the International Olympic Committee this fall. He had suggested banning Russia’s Olympic Committee for two years, or until the nation’s antidoping operations are recertified by regulators. Russia and its individual athletes are all but certain to miss the 2018 Paralympics given regulators’ refusal to recertify the nation last month.
.
“The evidence is clear, that the doping system in Russia has not yet been truly reformed,” Mr. Stepanov wrote.
.
Dr. Rodchenkov is living in an undisclosed location in the United States under protection of federal authorities. In August, “Icarus,” a film detailing Dr. Rodchenkov’s move to the United States and tell-all account, was released. In addition to sworn testimony and forensic evidence, Mr. Schmid cited the film as further evidence in his report.
.
“Russia’s consistent denials lack any credibility, and its failure to produce all evidence in its possession only further confirms its high-level complicity,” Jim Walden, a lawyer for Dr. Rodchenkov, said Tuesday. The Russian sports ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
.
Tuesday’s decision could have consequences for another major sports event scheduled to be held in Russia, next year’s $11 billion soccer World Cup. The nation’s deputy prime minister, Vitaly Mutko, was Russia’s top sports official during the 2014 Sochi Games and was directly implicated by Dr. Rodchenkov. As part of Tuesday’s ruling, Mr. Mutko was barred for life from the Olympics.„

Im obigen NEW YORK TIMES-Bericht vom 6. Dezember 2017 wird besonders betont, dass es hier um eine Bestrafung des russischen Staats, des Staatschefs Putin sowie der russischen Geheimdienstler, und der Sportverantwortlichen und der inkriminierten, etwa 1000 Sportler, geht, die allesamt gesperrt worden sind. In Südkorea sollen die russische Flagge und die Nationalhymne nicht vertreten sein.
.
Es wird außerdem angesagt, dass alle Doping-Betrüger von Sotchi ihre Medaillen aberkannt bekommen haben und dass bei den kommenden Olympischen Winterspielen, Februar 2018 in Pyeongchang, Südkorea )nicht Pjöngjang in Nordkorea) die dadurch festgestellten aufrückenden, wahren Sieger von Sotchi die wohlverdiente Ehrung und Medaillen verliehen bekommen sollen.
.
Ferner sollen 2018 unbelastete Olympiasportler aus Russland, die ordnungsgemäß in Pyeongchang antreten wollen, dort im Februar auch zu den Wettkämpfen zugelassen sein. Allerdings wird der russische Staat und das russische Olympische Kommitee in Pyeongchang, in SÜDKOREA, aber nicht mit der russischen Nationalflagge bei den russischen Wettkämpfern figurieren dürfen.

THE GUARDIAN, theguardian.com am 6. Dezember 2017:
.
Und damit das für die Briten gleich mal klar ist: OLYMPIA ist nicht die FIFA-WM, die ebenfalls durch Manipulationen im Jahr 2018 in RUSSLAND stattfinden wird. Der für das IOC gesperrte russische Sportminister bleibt zuständig für die Fußballer-WM 2018. Theguardian.com schreibt:
.
„Mr. Mutko is also the chairman of the local organizing committee for the World Cup, but FIFA said in a statement Tuesday that the I.O.C.’s punishments for Olympic doping would have “no impact” on its preparations for the tournament, which begins in June.
.
Russia banned from Winter Olympics over state-sponsored doping
• Vitaly Mutko, former sports minister and 2018 World Cup chief, banned for life
• Some athletes will be able to compete at Pyeongchang 2018 under neutral flag
.
Russia’s Olympic Committee has been banned from the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and ordered to pay $15m in costs after making what the International Olympic Committee called an “unprecedented attack on the integrity of the Olympic Games and sport”.
.
Tellingly the IOC also accepted, for the first time, that the Russian state had been involved in widespread institutional doping by banning the then minister of sport, Vitaly Mutko, and his then deputy minister, Yuri Nagornykh, from any participation in all future Olympic Games.
.
It is the first time the IOC has imposed a ban on a country competing under its own flag for doping. However Russia’s athletes were, however, thrown a lifeline by the IOC president, Thomas Bach, who confirmed they would be able to compete in South Korea in February provided they were not involved in a massive state-sponsored doping programme that corrupted the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014. Such athletes will have to compete under the Olympic flag and in a uniform bearing the name “Olympic athlete from Russia”. If any Russian athlete wins a gold, the Olympic anthem will be played at the medal ceremony.
.
Mutko, who is now deputy prime minister for sport, tourism and youth policy and the head of the organising committee for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, rejected suggestions there had been systematic doping only last week. Fifa also released a statement on Tuesday insisting Mutko’s ban does not affect planning for next summer’s finals.
.
The IOC’s decision was announced after its 14-person executive committee spent Tuesday afternoon poring over the final report of the Schmid commission, which has been examining whether there was an “institutional conspiracy” by Russian officials within the ministry of sport to corrupt the London 2012 Olympics and the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.
.
Schmid’s dramatic conclusion was there had been a “systemic manipulation of the anti-doping system in Russia” and it had come under the authority of the Russian sports ministry.
.
As Bach put it in a press conference: “The report clearly lays out an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the Olympic Games and sport. As an athlete myself, I am feeling very sorry for all the clean athletes who have suffered from this manipulation.”
.
There have been suggestions a ban might lead to a Russian boycott of the Winter Olympics. However no such announcement has been made by Vladimir Putin or the Russian Olympic Committee. Nonetheless, many will feel the IOC has not punished Russia enough – and that the IOC has again ducked its responsibilities, just as it did 17 months ago when it decided to allow most of the country’s athletes into the Rio Olympics.
.
That decision came despite a report in July 2016 from the Canadian law professor Richard McLaren which found Russia’s government, security services and sporting authorities colluded to hide widespread doping across “a vast majority” of winter and summer sports. Some had feared a repeat performance from the IOC, despite a second report by McLaren in December 2016 which confirmed that more than 1,000 Russian athletes had been involved in, or benefited from, state-sponsored doping.
.
However in the past month there has been a change in tone and language by the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency. It started when Wada revealed it had received fresh evidence from a whistleblower that had “reinforced” McLaren’s findings. Separately, the Oswald commission, set up by the IOC to examine Russian doping in Sochi in 2014, began to ban Russian competitors from those Games retrospectively. So far the figure stands at 25 athletes, while 11 have had medals taken away.
.
.
The credibility of the Russian whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov, who ran the Moscow anti-doping laboratory before fleeing last year and revealing what he knew to McLaren, was recently enhanced by the Oswald commission, who confirmed he was a “truthful witness”.
.
Rodchenkov responded to the news by saying he agreed with the IOC’s decision to allow some Russians into the Pyeongchang Games which begin on 9 February as neutral athletes. However, he said the problem was even bigger than indicated.
.
Rodchenkov’s lawyer, Jim Walden, said a new database, obtained by Wada last month, showed that “thousands and thousands and thousands” of Russian athletes were implicated in a “secret folder” which outlined all the times samples with performance-enhancing drugs in them had been switched for clean ones.
.
Added Walden: “It is a roadmap not just to 30 athletes or the 1,000 athletes that McLaren believes, but thousands and thousands were protected by the Russian system.”
.
In Fifa’s statement, which comes four days after the World Cup draw took place in Moscow, the governing body said it had taken note of the IOC’s decision and “it has no impact on the preparations for the 2018 World Cup”. It added: “Fifa takes its responsibility very seriously and is investigating the allegations made in the McLaren report. In this process, Fifa is working in close collaboration with Wada and has been in contact with Prof McLaren.
.
“Should there be enough evidence to demonstrate the violation of any anti-doping rules by any athlete, Fifa would impose the appropriate sanction.”
.

Dietmar Moews meint: Der internationale Sport ist inzwischen ein enormes Geldgeschäft der KULTURINDUSTRIE, insbesondere Publikumsbeteiligung über Fernsehrechte rund um den GLOBUS – so auch in SÜDKOREA, in der Region Pyeongchang.
.
Die Korruption ist fest verankert. Die Spitzenfunktionäre spielen das Spiel oder scheitern. Der Deutsche, Dr. jur. Thomas Bach, OLYMPIASIEGER im Fechten, hat dieses hohe IOC-Präsidentamt angestrebt – und damit war er drin, die Seite der BEGEHRLICHEN befriedigen zu müssen.
.
Während der FIFA-Präsident SEPP BLATTER ausgeschieden worden ist, kann sich THOMAS BACH weiter halten, wird sich aber noch manchen Klimmzug ausdenken müssen, um PUTIN zufrieden zu stellen. Und Bach wird bei der weiteren laufenden SPORT-GESCHÄFT-Verschwörung – ob die Vergabe-Wahl der AUSTRAGUNGS-STAATEN oder die verlangte FAIRNESS, klare DOPING-Vorschriften auch einzuhalten – große Zerreißproben erleben.
.
Tatsächlich handeln OLYMPIA wie auch FIFA-WM von PROFITSTREBEN und Manipulationsgeist. So hat man sich also eindeutig auf DOPING geeinigt. Es geht bei Russland und Sotchi ja auch nicht um „kein DOPING“, sondern, um „verbotenes DOPING“, im Unterschied zu „erlaubtem, geregelten DOPING“.
.
Man könnte doch FRANZ BECKENBAUER, THOMAS BACH und WINTERKORN, und BIEDENKOPF/BIMBES der HYGIENE halber mal in einen Sack tun – bis die Ratten und Mäuse kommen.
