AN INCONVENIENT MAN FOR SPORTS

What happened to Yuri Vlasov after he told the truth?

Interviewed by Mark Vodovozov (198

Yuri Vlasov is a Merited Master of Sport, an Olympic weightlifting champion
and a writer. At a meeting at the Ostankino TV Studio, late in 1986, Vlasov
broke the silence about the problems in big-time sports - too much
commercialization, drugs. and the cruelty of children's sports. The latter
two issues were especially disturbing since they were considered atypical
of Soviet athletics.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT ANABOLICS?

In the past, no one ever admitted that drugs in weightlifting can help one
lift some 20-30 kg more in the snatch and the jerk, while harming one
physically and morally. Sport is about strength, fortitude and beauty, not
chemicals. Unfortunately, anabolics have been in use for several decades.
We cannot blame the use of drugs on a single Olympics, a single world
championship or the athletes in a single country. The problem must be
dealt with jointly.

He's mentioned Kaerlin as his hero as well, both are very good people to be looking up to as an athlete.
