Peter Ciaccia, der Renndirektor in New York, entgegnete, die Organisatoren hätten ihre Informanten, die genau wüssten, welchen Athleten und Trainern man trauen könne und welchen nicht.


Selten so einen Schwachsinn gelesen.

Für was braucht man noch die Wada, Nada und Kontrolleure ? Man frage einfach irgendwelche Typen, die sich auskennen und genau wissen wer voll ist oder sein könnte und wer nicht.

Da hörts doch wirklich auf. Das ist an Idiotie nicht mehr zu überbieten.

Mir scheint, im deutschen Artikel ist das nicht exakt wiedergegeben.

Scandal Sticks to Russian Runners, Left Outside New York Marathon

Zitat von NYT

New York City Marathon officials aren’t saying that Russians are missing from their elite field because other Russians have doped. They’re using more nuance than that because their process of choosing athletes is complex.

Peter Ciaccia, the marathon’s race director and the Road Runners president for events, told me Friday that elite Russian marathoners just weren’t as good as they used to be. That’s partly why they are disappearing from New York and other major marathons, like those in Chicago and Berlin, he said.

When I asked if Russians and other Eastern Europeans were being excluded because of recent doping revelations in that part of the world — the International Association of Athletics Federations is embroiled in a scandal involving Russia right now — Ciaccia didn’t say yes or no.

He just said Road Runners had a team of two people who “have their ears to the ground” — who know which athletes work with which coaches, trainers and agents and are aware of any whispers regarding their integrity. The scouts vet each runner before bringing any name back to Road Runners so a final group of athletes can be invited.

“It’s a privilege to run New York, and that’s the way we look at it,” Ciaccia said. “So we have to make judgment calls on who makes it and who doesn’t.”

Von "genau wissen" ist da keine Rede.
