Russia and doping

Kamila Valieva's drug use case is complicated. There are various discussions about the Olympics and drugs, the Olympics and raising national prestige, and minors and participation in the Olympics. Regarding the Olympics and drugs, as I used to do gymnastics, I have often heard that communist countries use drugs that stop people from growing. In competitive gymnastics, the larger the body, the more control over the details becomes farther away from the brain, which is a disadvantage. Even if his large body gave him an impression of majesty, it was nothing compared to the added benefit of accurately executing his techniques. Excellent gymnasts seem to have been receiving these injections since childhood.

Olympics and national prestige

There is a close relationship between communist countries and the enhancement of national prestige through international sports. Even in democratic countries, there is a relationship between enhancing national prestige and the Olympics, but the difference is quite different. In the former Soviet Union, if you win a medal at the Olympics, you can live in a mansion and be compensated by the state for a lifetime of freedom. The same may be true of present-day Russia.

Since the Olympics are an amateur sport, personal profits cannot be generated directly from sports. Since the benefits are given after the Olympics or after retirement, it seems that this is not a business. In Japan, if you win a gold medal at the Olympics, you will receive 5 million yen from the JOC. The silver medal is worth 2 million yen, and the bronze medal is 1 million yen. It's a financial reward for the enormous amount of life time and life-risking effort you've put into it.

There is no concept of physical education

From a Japanese perspective, Kamila Valieva appears to have been using the prohibited drug trimetazidine and other non-prohibited drugs that are potent when mixed with trimetazidine, but the circumstances surrounding her coming of age are similar to those mentioned above. That's right. But Kamila Valieva may well be held personally responsible. 15-year-old girls must be taught that because they are minors, they are not held socially or legally responsible. And the adult environment surrounding Valieva is even more responsible. Russian society surrounding the Russian Skating Association and the country of Russia also have a big responsibility. This problem arises because Russia is stripped of its right to participate as a nation, and even if it participates as an ROC, the essence remains unchanged. If the issues surrounding athletes remain unresolved, Valieva could seek asylum abroad and aim for gold again.



POINT

It would be better for Russia's talented athletes to defect abroad and aim for the Olympics. This is an incident that makes me feel that way.
