Alexander Shlemenko blev nyligen avstäng i tre år för dopingbrott. Nu planerar han att stämma CSAC som stängt av honom.
Alexander Shlemenko (51-9-1) är för tillfället avstängd. Shlemenko går nu ut i en intervju med att han ämnar att stämma California State Athletic Commission. Shlemenko hade följande att säga:
”It would be naive to think that members of the Athletic Commission at a meeting of the athletic commission would decide that the Athletic Commission was mistaken. The result was predictable.”
”The participants of the tournament took five doping tests. There were only four in the laboratory. This calls into question the accuracy of the commission in this tournament. Secondly, I do not have the B sample – how do I justify myself? Third, there is a contract between the laboratory and WADA Athletic Commission, which implies that the B Sample is taken. But the B Sample was not there. Fourth, it is an indirect sign, but it is also important: testing was not random…”
CSAC erbjöd Shlemenko ett lägre straff om han erkände. Han ansåg att ett erkännande skulle förstöra hans rykte ännu mer:
”It would been less costly, I guess. But I would never do that. Reputation story cost me dearly – that no amount of money that can buy that back. My reputation isn’t just tarnished, it is crushed. I can do nothing but to go to court. I know I’m right. And most importantly – it is necessary to defend one’s innocence without considering which would be more profitable.”
