01:03 WADA has left no stone unturned in preparation for this hearing and we are
01:09 looking forward to having the opportunity to present our case clearly
01:14 and fairly to the panel.
01:17 As we will be engaging you all as well as members of the...
01:22 Most Russian athletes are suspended internationally, but it's important that
01:30 we keep an open line of communication with the Russian Anti-Doping Agency to
01:35 discuss operational matters and to monitor its activities.
01:40 I must say that the trust in the independence of the anti-doping system there remains very low.
01:46 For example, the way the case of the rock figure skater Kamila Valieva has been dealt with
01:55 has not been encouraging.
01:57 These unnecessary delays in the case fit that distrust.
02:03 Moreover, we've seen the coach in question receive awards from the highest office in the land.
02:10 So much for the protection of young athletes of children.
02:15 We believe the first instance decision by Rusada, disciplinary tribunal, is wrong.
02:22 That is why WADA has appealed it to KAS.
02:25 That decision raises questions as to the competence of the international hearing panel.
02:31 It certainly does not build confidence.
02:35 This is something we will continue to take very seriously.
