    Decision of the IOC Executive Board The IOC Executive Board (EB) today deliberated on the findings of the Schmid Commission addressing the systematic manipulation of the anti-doping system in Russia prior to this decision. The Commission’s report also addresses the manipulation of the anti-doping laboratory at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014, which targeted the Olympic Games directly. The EB approved the Commission’s report. Now that due process has been followed, and the right to be heard has been granted, the EB, following the recommendations of the Schmid Commission, took the following decisions: I. To suspend the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) with immediate effect. II. To invite individual Russian athletes to the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 according to the following guidelines: 1. The invitation list will be determined, at its absolute discretion, by a panel chaired by Valerie Fourneyron, Chair of the ITA. The panel will include members of the Pre-Games Testing Task Force: one appointed by WADA, one by the DFSU and one by the IOC, Dr Richard Budgett. 2. This panel will be guided in its decisions by the following principles: a) It can only consider athletes who have qualified according to the qualification standards of their respective sports. b) Athletes must be considered clean to the satisfaction of this panel: - Athletes must not have been disqualified or declared ineligible for any Anti-Doping Rule Violation. - Athletes must have undergone all the pre-Games targeted tests recommended by the Pre-Games Testing Task Force. - Athletes must have undergone any other testing requirements specified by the panel to ensure a level playing field.

  • November 2018 IPC Taskforce Progress Report
    IPC Taskforce: Progress Report, November 2018 This report is provided on behalf of the IPC Taskforce and summarises our assessment of the progress that the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) has made to date in meeting the conditions for reinstatement established by the IPC. Specific reference is made to the decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to reinstate RUSADA (the Russian Federation’s National Anti-Doping Organisation). Background and context 1. This Taskforce was established1 in late 2016 by the IPC Governing Board to assist the IPC in determining whether the reinstatement criteria and underlying verification criteria, as agreed by the Governing Board, have been met by the RPC following its suspension as a member immediately prior to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. 2. Subsequent to the decision by the Executive Committee of WADA2 to formally reinstate RUSADA, the Taskforce has considered how WADA’s decision impacts on the reinstatement criteria agreed by the Governing Board. Outstanding requirements 3. As discussed by the Governing Board at its meeting on 11 September 2018, for the IPC reinstatement criteria to be met in full the following must be completed: (a) The full reinstatement of RUSADA by WADA3. 1 The Taskforce Terms of Reference are set out in Appendix 1 of the reinstatement criteria, available at https://www.paralympic.org/sites/default/files/document/161121134559873_2016_11_21%2BRPC%2Brein statement%2Bcriteria.pdf. 2 WADA’s decision can be found at https://www.wada-ama.org/en/media/news/2018-09/wada-executive- committee-decides-to-reinstate-rusada-subject-to-strict-conditions. 3 Reinstatement Criteria 6.2 - The RPC, IPC, International Federations that are members of the IPC, and RUSADA (once RUSADA has been declared Code-compliant again) are all able to carry out their respective anti- doping activities in Russia and in relation to Russian Para athletes and athlete support personnel effectively and without external interference (as part of this, the RPC will need to adequately address the findings of the McLaren Report).

  • EWNC Raises International Concern About the Environmental Impact of Sochi 2014 Olympics
    EWNC raises international concern about the environmental impact of Sochi 2014 Olympics In early March 2011 experts of the United Nations Environment Pro- gramme, UNEP, visited Sochi to monitor environ- mental issues during the preparation for the Winter Olympic Games 2014. In an attempt to cover up the grave problems and the ongoing destruction of valuable natural sites the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee aimed to pre- vent community leaders from meeting the experts. No independent civil society organisations from Sochi were invited to meet the UNEP experts. Nevertheless, the Environmental Watch on North Caucasus, EWNC, learned about the planned visit and contacted directly the UNEP representatives. The leader of EWNC, Andrey Rudomakha, sent an official letter to the President of Sochi 2014 Committee Dmitry Chernyshenko with a request to “organise an advisory meeting with public organisations and extend an invitation to the advisory meeting to all public organisations, which participated in previous UNEP meetings.” The Organising Committee did not react to the official request, until EWNC issued a press release about the ongoing visit. After this the EWNC was invited by the Sochi 2014 organisers to meet the UNEP experts, yet the invitation did not include any representatives from other organisations or local communities. At the end of March the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee boasted the signing of a new declaration on “restoring the ecosystem of Mzymta river basin” in the latest round of meetings with UNEP, presenting the new document as a breakthrough that will “turn green” games mired in environmental problems. Independent experts and environmental NGOs were not invited to this signing, which was attended by Russia’s deputy prime minister Dmitry Kozak, regional officials and leading investors involved in large-scale construction projects in the Mzymta river valley.

  • Kesarev Memo | New Russian Government | January 2020
    Kesarev phone: +32 (2) 899 4699 e-mail: [email protected] www.kesarev.com NEW RUSSIAN CABINET: STAFF “REVOLUTION” INSTEAD OF STRUCTURAL REFORMS? Summary On January 21, 2020, President Putin approved the structure of the new Russian Government and appointed Deputy Prime Ministers and federal Ministers. New Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was appointed on January 16. What are the key specifics of the new Cabinet? The key specific feature of the new Russian Cabinet is that while the structural changes are minimal, the staff reshuffles proved to be radical, both in terms of the number of new people appointed to top offices and change of political status of key Cabinet members (how close they are to the President). This is an extremely atypical decision for Putin, compared to previous Cabinets over the entire period of his stay in power. Earlier, as a rule, the Cabinets included influential figures close to the President and personally associated with him, and a system of checks and balances between different elite groups existed. But at the same time, the decision to change the approach to the Cabinet appointments is logical in the context of a broader presidential “staff policy” over recent years - the so-called “technocratisation” of power (the appointment of young “technocratic” governors, the penetration of such figures into Medvedev’s second Cabinet, the appointment of the head of the Presidential Administration, a “technocrat” Anton Vayno during the Parliamentary election campaign in 2016 and the launch of “Leaders of Russia” contest in order to select and train a “succession pool” for the top positions in the federal and regional civil bureaucracy).

  • Russian News Coverage of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games: a Transmedia Analysis
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 1446–1469 1932–8036/20160005 Russian News Coverage of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games: A Transmedia Analysis RENIRA RAMPAZZO GAMBARATO1 National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia GEANE CARVALHO ALZAMORA Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil LORENA PÉRET TEIXEIRA TÁRCIA University Center of Belo Horizonte, Brazil The journalistic coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, involved various media platforms and the flow of information between mass media and social media. This phenomenon is not new; therefore, the research question that motivates this article is to what extent transmedia strategies were effectively applied to the Russian official news coverage of the Sochi Olympic Games. The theoretical framework focuses on transmedia journalism, and the method is based on the analytical model regarding transmedia news coverage of planned events developed by Gambarato and Tárcia. The research findings demonstrate that, although transmedial features are incorporated in the Russian coverage, there is modest content expansion and limited engagement with the audience. Keywords: 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, Russian news coverage, transmedia analysis, transmedia journalism, transmedia news coverage Transmedia storytelling, a term coined by Jenkins (2003, 2006) about a decade ago, remains under construction, although there are clear indications of its conceptualization. In the midst of convergence culture, media production and consumption are more complex and less segregated than ever before. Convergence, as “the flow of content across multiple media platforms, the cooperation between multiple media industries, and the migratory behavior of media audiences who will go almost anywhere in search of the kinds of entertainment experiences they want” (Jenkins, 2006, p.
