Ukraine is hit hard by doping scandal: Manipulated antidoping evidence for its athletes

Sports in Ukraine can be affected by a serious doping scandal. The International Antidoping Agency (WADA) has published a report in which Ukrainian antidoping agent is accused of serious manipulation in tests conducted from 2012 to the present day.

According to W The ADA, since two years ago conducted an investigation called “Operation Hercules”, antidoping authorities in Ukraine helped athletes pass antidoping checks smoothly.

They warned athletes earlier about tests or organized private antidoping checks, manipulating evidence.

Guenter Younger, who has conducted investigations in Ukraine, explains: “Antidoping practices followed by antidoping in Ukraine are manipulated by some of the staff. We have evidence that the antidote called the athletes or the trainers, informing them that they had control tomorrow. This practice was usually performed before important international events”.

It is learned that this manipulation practice has been applied in at least 6 cases even before the “Tokio 2020”. If those charges are confirmed, Ukraine risks being expelled from the Olympics, starting in three months in China.
