JOAN CARLES ARMENGOL / BARCELONA VIERNES, 21 DE OCTUBRE DEL 2016 - 18:01 CEST Lydia Valentín está en Barcelona. Esta sábado se pone delante de 300 personas en una clase magistral de fitness, patrocinada porBridgestone, bajo el lema 'Persigue tu sueño, supera los obstáculos', que viene como anillo al dedo a una deportista que ha llegado a lo más alto en su modalidad, la halterofilia, tras superar multitud de piedras en el camino y vicisitudes de lo más pintorescas. La leonesa de Camponaraya, pequeño pueblo cercano aPonferrada (León) donde nació hace 31 años, es la única deportista que en un mes ha sido medallista olímpica tres veces… en tres Juegos distintos. A principios de agosto se enteró de que el podio de su categoría (75 kilos) de Londres 2012 se había caído entero al reanalizarse las muestras antidopaje, lo que le daba la victoria; el día 12 se colgó el bronce en Río 2016, y pocos días después de regresar a casa otra revisión de Pekín 2008 la llevó del quinto al segundo puesto. Oro, bronce y plata en un mes. "Voy a reclamar las medallas y los premios del 2008 y el 2012 porque es justo y estoy en mi derecho" -¡Qué montón de sensaciones debió sentir durante ese mes, ¿no?!Muchísimas. Fue la mezcla de muchos sentimientos. Primero sentí una alegría inmensa, pero después piensas: ¡Cómo me han podido fastidiar tanto! ¡Cómo es posible que se permita esto! Estamos hablando de deporte.

In December 2014, Russia was accused of developing a state-organized doping system in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The scandal resulted in many Russian athletes being banned from competing in the Olympics in Rio in 2016 and the IOC’s suspension of the Russian National Olympic Committee prior to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. The research presented in this article aims to answer the research question of whether the doping scandal actually affected the international image of Russia. The research was conducted with the use of frame analysis of public discourse. The hypothesis to be tested states that the Russian doping scandal contributed to the intensification of a negative external image of this state. Keywords: Russia, doping, sports diplomacy, nation branding, image of a country. * This work was supported by National Science Centre, Poland grant number 2015/19/D/ HS5/00513, grant holder: Michał Marcin Kobierecki). © by the author, licensee Łódź University – Łódź University Press, Łódź, Poland.

  • Iaaf Comments on Independent Commission's Report #1
    IAAF COMMENTS ON INDEPENDENT COMMISSION'S REPORT #1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On 9 November 2015, the Independent Commission issued a report (the IC Report) that set out evidence of widespread doping by Russian athletes, but also suggested that 'particular highly placed members and officials of IAAF' may have taken bribes to delay the bringing of anti-doping charges against certain athletes in 2012. On that basis, the Independent Commission suggested that it had 'identified systemic failures within the IAAF and Russia that prevent or diminish the possibility of an effective anti-doping program …'. These allegations of corruption by individuals formerly associated with the IAAF are truly abhorrent, and the IAAF cannot, and does not, seek to avoid or downplay them in any way. The IAAF wishes to salute the courage of the whistle-blowers (including its own staff members) who have helped to expose the wrongdoing described in the IC Report. It will do everything in its power to punish the wrongdoers and to reform its own systems to make sure that no one can ever again interfere improperly with its anti-doping procedures. However, the IAAF believes it is also important to point out that: ñ No doping case has been covered up by the IAAF. All cases that should have been pursued were pursued and all cases that should have been sanctioned were sanctioned in accordance with IAAF Rules and the World Anti-Doping Code. ñ The IAAF is aware of four cases where (as the Independent Commission suggests) there were unexplained and suspicious delays in the prescribed results management process.
