Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard H Mclaren

Naar aanleiding van de Olympische Spelen 2016 in Rio uitte de Raad van Bestuur van de IOC (Internationaal Olympisch Comité) grote zorgen over het bestuur en financieel (wan) beleid bij AIBA (International Boxing Association bij de amateurs). De IOC task force review eiste een onafhankelijk onderzoek & financiële audit, plus de continuering van verbeteringen en veranderingen in het systeem voor jureren en scheidsrechteren. Het voortgangsrapport van jan 2018 resulteerde in series van maatregelen vanuit het IOC waaronder een onderzoek naar het bestuur bij AIBA, het bevriezen van alle subsidies en al het contact werd stilgelegd tot het officiële onderzoek werd afgerond. De uitkomsten van het rapport werden in jan 2019 gepubliceerd en gepresenteerd. De belangrijkste conclusies van het rapport waren dat bestuursafspraken (taken, verantwoordelijkheden en bevoegdheid) en processen volledig werden genegeerd, financieel wanbeleid en onvoldoende mechanismen die een duurzaam, houdbaar en eerlijke methodiek stimuleren van jureren en scheidsrechteren. De schorsing van AIBA door IOC is tot op heden nog niet opgeschort. Hierdoor nam het IOC de organisatie over van het medaille boksen tijdens de Olympische spelen in Tokio, voor het eerst in de geschiedenis sinds deelname van boksen. In juni 2021 werd McLaren Global Sport Solutions Inc. (MGSS), geleid door Professor Richard H. McLaren, O.C benoemt door AIBA (onder zware druk en sancties) om een uitvoerig extern onafhankelijk onderzoek uit te voeren. Dit zal bestaan uit 3 delen, een zogenoemde ‘three-stage-process investigation'. Het 1ste deel van het rapport is op 30 sept jongstleden gepresenteerd. Met het Amateur Wereld Bokskampioenschap in volle gang, wat plaatsvindt tussen 24 okt tm 6 nov in Belgrado (Servië), denk ik nu een goed moment om wat dieper in te duiken op de belangrijkste conclusies van het rapport.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the audio from the teleconference of the December 9 London press conference with Professor Richard H. McLaren, law professor at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) enlisted Prof. McLaren to lead the investigation and to issue a report about media reports of state-sponsored doping in Russia in sport. This is the second and final part of that report, and was made public Friday. The first part was issued on July 18, 2016. Key Highlights of 2nd Report Institutionalised Doping Conspiracy and Cover Up 1. An institutional conspiracy existed across summer and winter sports athletes who participated with Russian officials within the Ministry of Sport and its infrastructure, such as the RUSADA, CSP and the Moscow Laboratory, along with the FSB for the purposes of manipulating doping controls. The summer and winter sports athletes were not acting individually but within an organised infrastructure as reported on in the 1st Report. 2. This systematic and centralised cover up and manipulation of the doping control process evolved and was refined over the course of its use at London 2012 Summer Games, Universiade Games 2013, Moscow IAAF World Championships 2013, and the Winter Games in Sochi in 2014. The evolution of the infrastructure was also spawned in response to WADA regulatory changes and surprise interventions. 3. The swapping of Russian athletes’ urine samples further confirmed in this 2nd Report as occurring at Sochi, did not stop at the close of the Winter Olympics. The sample swapping technique used at Sochi became a regular monthly practice of the Moscow Laboratory in dealing with elite summer and winter athletes. Further DNA and salt testing confirms the technique, while others relied on DPM. 4. The key findings of the 1st Report remain unchanged. The forensic testing, which is based on immutable facts, is conclusive. The evidence does not depend on verbal testimony to draw a conclusion. Rather, it tests the physical evidence and a conclusion is drawn from those results. The results of the forensic and laboratory analysis initiated by the IP establish that the conspiracy was perpetrated between 2011 and 2015. The Athlete Part of Conspiracy and Cover Up 5. Over 1000 Russian athletes competing in summer, winter and Paralympic sport, can be identified as being involved in or benefiting from manipulations to conceal positive doping tests. Based on the information reported to International Federations through the IP to WADA there are 600 (84%) summer athletes and 95 (16%) winter athletes. London Summer Olympic Games 6. Fifteen Russian athlete medal winners were identified out of the 78 on the London Washout Lists. Ten of these athletes have now had their medals stripped. IAAF Moscow World Championships 7. Following the 2013 IAAF Moscow World Championships, 4 athletics athletes’ samples were swapped. Additional target testing is in progress. Sochi Winter Olympic Games 8. Sample swapping is established by 2 female ice hockey players’ samples with male DNA. 9. Tampering with original sample established by 2 [sport] athletes, winners of four Sochi Olympic Gold medals, and a female Silver medal winner in [sport] with physiologically impossible salt readings. 10. Twelve medal winning athletes (including the above 3) from 44 examined samples had scratches and marks on the inside of the caps of their B sample bottles, indicating tampering. 11. Six winners of 21 Paralympic medals are found to have had their urine samples tampered with at Sochi. The complete McLaren Independent Investigations Report into Sochi Allegations - Part II can be read and downloaded here. Plus, we open with a commentary on how once again this is evidence of the corrupt nature of the Olympics and the Olympic movement, and how those interested in developing sport for its positive values should have nothing to do with this movement and its organizations and stay out of it.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman presents the audio from Monday's teleconference of the Toronto press conference with Professor Richard H. McLaren, law professor at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) enlisted Prof. McLaren to lead the investigation and to issue a report about media reports of state-sponsored doping in Russia in sport. The 103-page Independent McLaren Investigation Report was also made public Monday. The three key findings of this report are: 1. The Moscow Laboratory operated, for the protection of doped Russian athletes, within a State-dictated failsafe system, described in the report as the Disappearing Positive Methodology. 2. The Sochi Laboratory operated a unique sample swapping methodology to enable doped Russian athletes to compete at the Games. 3. The Ministry of Sport directed, controlled and oversaw the manipulation of athlete’s analytical results or sample swapping, with the active participation and assistance of the FSB, CSP, and both Moscow and Sochi Laboratories. Unlike the many well-known situations where athletes decide to dope on their own, this was a state-sponsored doping program where failure to participate could harm an athlete's career. While Prof. McLaren indicated that it was not part of the mandate for this report to investigate whether or not Russian athletes had been forced into the doping programs, he did say that they found evidence that "athletes who didn't participate in the program didn't get access to the best coaches, did not have the opportunity to compete at the highest levels of the national competition structure, etc. And in that sense they might feel forced into the system because if they didn't participate in the doping programs then they wouldn't have access to those different things I just described." The complete McLaren Independent Investigations Report into Sochi Allegations can be read here. Following the issuance of this report, the WADA Executive Committee made the following recommendations to the International Olympic Committee regarding Russian participation in the Rio Olympics, which start August 5: "Given that the Russian Ministry of Sport orchestrated systematic cheating of Russian athletes to subvert the doping control process; and that, the evidence shows such subversion in 30 sports, including 20 Olympic summer sports and Paralympic sports, the presumption of innocence of athletes in these sports, and in all Russian sports, is seriously called into question. "Accordingly, WADA recommends to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to consider, under their respective Charters, to decline entries, for Rio 2016, of all athletes submitted by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the Russian Paralympic Committee. Furthermore, any exceptional entry of a Russian athlete should be considered by the IOC and IPC for participation under a neutral flag and in accordance with very strict criteria." The crisis in the Olympic movement continues to worsen, and there will surely be many more developments to come.
