Right now we will speak about the doping control.
We have 12 positive results now.
The results are positive for big stars in armwrestling
How it will change our discipline of sport?
I think now is a moment for new competitors
For that, who was not so strong yet
For example in 80 - 86kg
If they was not so strong
and they oponents was strong
now, they can be at the first places.
The level of the category will be different
and we will receive new winners.
Is this good for us that there will be missing champions like
Rustam Babayev, Arsen Liliev?
I think...
they was fighting in open classes
Rustam Babayev, Liliev, Mamedov
and Tsakhilov...
Right now the open class will be not so interesting.
Mamedov for example was the best in 80kg
and he won with the verry good sportsmens.
It was standard for this class
but now we will not see him.
And Rustam Babaev in 86kg
was strong in this class - even he pulled with Denis Cyplenkov.
I think it will be missing.
How it will change our sport?
Is this means that it will change the point of view for young people?
They can say "we don't need this sport because we can be "positive" too.
I think they will not think like this.
They will think that they have to train harder.
And do not use anything what is not allowed.
Just to train this sport.
... ?
What is your opinion about doping control?
I'm not using anything what is not allowed.
I was tested at the European Championships
and there was no problems
I think you can train and collect the results without that.
Relly important topic right now - doping control.
This situation from European Championships with 12 competitors
including the big champions
Rustam Babaev, Kvikvinia ect.
Bratchenia, Mamedov ect
Every name have some fans around the world
In their cities, regions...
... makes some good things...
and they are positive during the doping control. What do you think about this situation?
Is this some mistake?
I think, that because of football Euro 2012 - in Poland there was some changes in the laboratories.
And now they can find more than before.
So, thats why it changed situation.
Its really hard time for this sportsmen and I think everyone have to think about it.
Do you think that all of this 12 competitors will come back after 2 years?
I think we can not see everyone.
I want to say, that (if I remember it good) they have to make second test after this 2 years.
Yes, they have to do second test.
I think some of them will be affraid to make this test again.
They have an option to fight in pro-armwrestling.
Yes, they can go to the pro (PAL)
It hard to say, but it will be hard to leave this sport.
Its not a hobby - its something like the way of life.
How will be armwrestlig changed now (i mean the popularity)?
I think for next time and it will get the championships level down.
Topic: doping control
There was 12 competitors "positive" at the Europeans.
A lot of competitors with big names.
Could you comment this?
Is this some mistake?
Right now no on knows a date, how long the substances stays in your body.
And its changing every year.
There is some substances what you can find in your body for 2-3 weeks.
And some stays more that 3 months.
No one knows how long it stays.
And they are positive.
Do you think they will return to armwrestling after 2 years?
I depends of them.
Its important moment now
... ?
How it change our sport?
Some sportsmen or fans can go away?
A lot of people can more think about it.
Is this good to use some substances for this championships or not if you want to start.
Because you dont know the end of this.
you know - you can became the pro-armwrestler anyway (later)
Since there is no doping tests in professional armwrestling
Yes, but now they have 2 years break.
What you can say for all this "positive" tested 12 boys
Just wait, train... its only 2 years...
and come back!
You are the Ukrainian champion and competitor in Worlds and Europeans.
This year after the doping control we received 12 positive test results.
And there is 12 positive for really big competitors.
What do you thing about it?
How it will change the armwrestling?
Its really negative for us.
for us and armwrestling image
But we have to know, that they known what they are doing.
For the future? Its possible that more people will not came to worlds or europeas.
It will be negative for armwrestling?
I dont think so - everytime its some good result after the doping control.
Do you think this should be tested again, because that all of 12 competitors was positive for...
... only one substance.
Its hard to say. I dont know the technical way for doping control.
But globally i think that it will be good to make tests for all top 3 competitors in every category.
I think it will be standard in next few years.
What all the 12 should do now for this 2 years? Will they return to armwrestling?
Why not?
In our sport we have a lot of fanatics.
Real sportsmen really love this sport. If not - they will not become the armwrestler.
I think they will return and they will fight.
Fight at the same level like today.
Do you think that they will not go to Worlds or Europeans but only for Nemiroff?
It depends of them.
In 2005 European Federation make the first doping control procedure.
EAF wanted to check the "clear level" of our sport.
From the 2004 and 2005 we started official procedure to become Sport Accord member.
The organisation who can say that we are the sport discipline officially.
And give us more possibilities for the future.
One of the important point in this procedure it was the doping control.
In 2005 during the Europeans there was no one positive tested.
And it was really good for us.
And we was thinking that our sport is far away from the doping.
But at the Worlds 2005 there was one positive result.
It was the russan competitor - Artem Klimenko.
It was positive for ... (some substance name)
This substance stays in your body for 2 years.
So - this is the start of doping control in armwrestling.
In next years there was some competitors checked and suspended for doping.
It was sometimes 3, sometimes 2 and sometimes 5.
In 2006 there was 6 positives.
But this size (like this year) - 12 competitors - its the first time.
And the tests was positive for big names.
They was "our future" I can say.
Our symbols for armwrestling.
Arsen Liliev, Rustam Babayev, Mamedov, Tsakhilov...
Kvikvinia...
For us it was a shock.
All of them was tested positive for one substance.
Now we have to ask:
is this some mistake in the laboratory?
Or the biology, chemistry made some step forward to find this?
Even there was some joke that its because football Euro 2012.
And the laboratories changes the procedure to make the doping tests.
And from 2012 the laboratories was changed.
So if the sportsmen will open "B" test
and the result will be negative - its mistake.
But if the test will be positive - sportsmen will be suspended for minimum 2 years.
How it will change our sport?
Its not good, but there is the teory to not susped them,
because they are the legendary competitors in armwresling.
Some persons said that there is nothing to watch at A1 in Moscow.
There was Arsen Liliev at the top 3.
Now they dont want to watch it.
What I can say...
If we will not susped the champions then who we will suspend? Only 5 or 6 places?
Its not right.
Otherwise its not good.
But I'm sure that that competitors, or other competitors will think twice before they will use doping.
Its really important.
My first reaction for this situation was the phone call to WAF President (Assen)
and my question was "what next".
What we have to say to people.
But what we can say. All of you have to know, that in internet there is only me online on all of community sites.
I have an account at facebook, vkontakte, g+ ect and I'm receiving a lot of questions.
In this year I think its not possible but for next years we are going to increase the doping tests.
We are going to test all of 3 top competitors from every class.
From seniors.
Even this year there will be 40 tests inplace of 20.
At the worlds 2013.
For next year we will make 60 tests.
And finally we want to make the test for all medalists.
So for everybody I can say - It will be not easy in the future.
Do you think there will be more positives? I dont think so.
But we have to show everyone, that armwrestling is clear.
But all of you know there is no "clear" discipline.
And every year there is some positives - and it not depends of the fight with doping.
But we can see, that there is some new substances every moment in this kind of sport.
And a lot of not allowed substances.
But not only in armwrestling.
