During the preparation days to the 21st Anniversary of the Independence, Uzbek atletes bestowed a worthy present to the greatest and dearest holiday of our free and flourishing country by successfully partaking at the XXX Summer Olympic Games. 53 athletes, having successfully completed difficult qualification stages, took part in competitions in 15 sports, such as artistic gymnastics, trampoline, cycling, swimming, athletics, weightlifting, canoe slalom and sprint, boxing, judo, taekwondo, freestyle and greco-roman wrestling, shooting, fencing and tennis. The modern Olympic Games in their current form took place for the first time in Athens- the capital of Greece. On 6-15 April 1896 representatives of more than a dozen countries competed for victory in nine sports. Today Olympic Games became the biggest competition in the world. All countries strive to take part in this sports forum. Nevertheless, not everyone can participate in the Games, let alone win medals. Athletes from 204 countries took part in the London Olympic Games, 119 of which couldn’t win a single medal. The athletes from only 85 countries have stood up on the podium. Among them the gold medal winning countries are even less- only 54. India with a population of 1 billion 230 million has sent to the Games 83 athletes, and none of them could win an Olympic gold medal. Greece- a birthplace of the Olympics was represented by 103 athletes in 19 sports, but they had to return home with a couple of bronze medals. 113 sportspeople from the permanent participants of the Olympics- Arab Republic of Egypt could win only two silver medals. In comparasion with those indicators, achievements of Uzbek athletes at the XXX Summer Olympics will immeasurable gain in weight. The main factor behind the achievements of Uzbek sportspeople is the huge attention and care by President Islam Karimov in developing sports. Improving the health of the population by supporting popular sports, training talented athletes, able to represent our country in international arenas are a priority task in our country. As a result healthy, harmoniously developed generation is emerging, new young athletes are entering the sports arena. Uzbek sportspeople never returned from the Summer Olympics without medals. Our Olympic team, participating at the Olympics since 1996 as an independent nation, has won five gold, five silver and eleven bronze medals at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London. In accordance with the decree of President of the country “On preparation of Uzbek athletes to the XXX Summer Olympic and XIV Paralympic Games in London (UK) in 2012” dated from 5 January 2009 our athletes have been provided with new sports equipment of world standarts. They have passed practice sessions, based on the contemporary sports norms, have honed their experience and skills in international tournaments. Scientific, medical-biological tests to help ensure high sports results have been conducted. World-known Uzbek atheletes – twice world judo champion and winner of the Asian Games Rishod Sobirov, twice world boxing champion Abbos Atoev and silver medalist of the Beijing Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling Soslan Tigiev have added a bronze medal each to the medals tally of Uzbek sports delegation. – Entering sports arena of any international tournament on behalf of the Motherland gives us, the athletes, an immense feeling of pride and responsibility-, says Abbos Atoev. – All necessary conditions for the youth to demonstrate their talents and capabilities, to perfect skills and experience in sports as in any other sphere are established. Such an extensive attention and care directs us to achive the highest goals. One of the most important events of the XXX Summer Olympic Games took place in the competitions in freestyle wrestling. Uzbek wrestler Artur Taymazov, taking part among the best freestyle wrestlers in the men’s 120 kg category, has achieved a rare in the sports world result of winning gold medal for the third time. In the honour of Artur Taymazov’s victory State flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan was risen, the National anthem of our country was played. – Before competitions I promised myself to present a golden Olympics medal to the 21st anniversary of the independence of our country- says triple Olympics champion Artur Taymazov. – I am very happy that I kept my promise and could justify President Islam Karimov’s and all our nation’s trust. A. Taymazov has entered the annals of world sports as the third greco-roman wrestler to have won three gold medals at the summer Olympic Games. Only Aleksandr Medved from Belarus and Buvaysar Saytiev from Russia could achieve this result since 1904, the year when greco-roman wrestling was included in the Olympics program. Aside from gold medals in Athens, Beijing and London Olympics, Artur has a silver from Sydney 2000. He is the only one with such a performance indicator. Furthermore, our wrestler has won two gold, two silver and one bronze medals in the world championships, and is a twice continental champion and a triple Asian Games champion. Results in sports do not only depend on force and skills, but also on luck. Several of our athletes were short of a bit of luck, a few seconds to stand up on the pedestal. Sergey Lagutin, who came fifth to the finish line in road cycling, lagged 8 seconds behind the winner. A single victory put apart boxers Elshod Rasulov, Jasur Latipov, Uktam Rakhmonov and Fazliddion Goibnazarov, judoka Ramziddin Saidov, freestyle wrestler Kurban Kurbanov from winning a medal, athlete Svetlana Radzivil was short of just 3 sm in women’s high jump. A twice world champion in canoe Vadim Menkov, weightlifter Ruslan Nuriddinov showed the fourth, Ivan Yevromov the fifth best results in the relevant competitions. Ulyana Trofimova was the first among Uzbek artistic gymnasts to participate in the Olympics, Mariya Sisoeva – the first in weightlifting among women. The first-time participant among our athletes in fencing Ruslan Kudaev took over an Asian champion, World Cup winner Kyoungdoo Park (South Korea), which has been rated by international sports specialists as a big achivement of the Uzbek sports. Denis Istomin was the first Uzbek tennis player to have won two consequent games in the Olympics. In general, Uzbek athletes have displayed their skills, experience and potential at the XXX Summer Olympic Games and have upheld the honour of our country with dignity. According to the unofficial calculations, our country team took 47th place. This is the 6th place among CIS countries and the 7th in Asia. The achievements of the Uzbek athletes in London have been a worthy gift to the greatest and dearest holiday of our nation – 21st anniversary of independence of our Motherland. The next Olympic Games, to be held in 2016 in Rio-de-Janeiro (Brazil) will be waiting for athletes from all over the world. UzA, London.

Programme initiated prior the Olympic Games Rio 2016 To provide a level playing field for all clean athletes at the Olympic Games Rio 2016, the IOC put special measures in place, including targeted pre-tests and the reanalysis of stored samples from the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012, following an intelligence-gathering process that started in August 2015 – in consultation with WADA and International Federations (IFs). The additional analyses on samples collected during the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012 were performed with improved analytical methods, in order to possibly detect prohibited substances that could not be identified by the analysis performed at the time of these editions of the Olympic Games. For reference, some reanalysis of the stored samples of Beijing 2008 and London 2012 was already conducted in 2009 and 2015 respectively, leading to the sanctioning of six athletes. The programme for Beijing samples has concluded due to the statute of limitations. The total number of confirmed Adverse Analytical Findings (AAFs) by reanalysis in 2016 was announced as 101. Targeted re-analysis programme In order to support the investigations of Prof. McLaren and his team, the IOC ordered a number of targeted re-analyses of Russian athletes’ samples during the course of 2016. In December 2016, the IOC also extended the mandate of the Oswald Commission to examine all samples collected from Russian athletes during the Olympic Games London 2012, following the findings of the completed Independent Person Report.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2017/A/5099 Artur Taymazov v. International Olympic Committee (IOC), award of 4 December 2017 Panel: The Hon. Michael Beloff QC (United Kingdom), President; Mr Aliaksandr Danilevich (Belarus); Mr Olivier Carrard (Switzerland) Wrestling Doping (turinabol; stanozolol) Automatic disqualification of results Application of the principle nulla poena sine culpa Burden of proof regarding fault or negligence Proportionality of the sanction Application of automatic disqualification of results in exceptional cases 1. Art. 8.1 of the IOC Anti-Doping Rules (ADR) provides for the so-called automatic disqualification of results following an in-competition positive doping control. Automatic disqualification of results of a competition in consequence of a positive in- competition test for a substance prohibited in that competition does not engage any consideration of fault or negligence or proportionality at all. 2. An anti-doping rule violation is in the language of the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) a ‘violation’; and ‘automatic disqualification’ takes its place in a provision entitled ‘Sanctions’. Therefore, concepts relevant to crime and punishment are not entirely to be ignored to the detriment of the athlete. It is still incumbent on the relevant sports’ governing body to prove that a violation, as defined in the relevant regulations, has occurred and to place upon the athlete who has committed such violation only the prescribed consequences. Both the violation and its consequences are expressly and clearly provided for in the IOC ADR (and in the WADC, its source). There can be no departure from the presumption of innocence.

  • Double Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Medalist Banned for Doping
    Double Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Medalist Banned For Doping The United World Wrestling (UWW) has confirmed that double Olympic freestyle wrestling medalist Toghrul Asgarov is one of two athletes suspended by the international governing body of the sport over anti-doping violations. Asgarov, the Azerbaijani who won the gold medal in the men’s 60 kilogram competition at London 2012 before picking up silver in the 65kg category last year in Rio de Janeiro, was banned for a period of 12 months after he tested positive for Higenamine. Asgarov also won a gold medal at the 2015 European Games in Baku in the 65kg weight category. He also won a 55kg silver from the 2010 World Championships in Moscow. It was announced that Asgarov's suspension is due to run from the date of the decision until April 17 next year. Higenamine falls under section three of the World Anti-Doping Agency’s 2017 Prohibited List and is often found in supplements. In a statement, the UWW said no Therapeutic Use Exemption was delivered by UWW to justify the presence of Higenamine in system of the wrestler. Liverpool's Mamadou Sakho was temporarily banned by UEFA last year after he tested positive for Higenamine. Sakho missed the 2016 Europa League final but was later cleared. It was also announced by the UWW that a suspension of four years has been imposed on Russian Greco- Roman wrestler Aslan Visaitov after traces of Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor agonists were found in a test given by him at the Under-23 European Championships in Szombathely in Hungary.
