If the Russians are barred from the Olympics only because there are some marks on their sample bottles, it will instill fear in all rule-abiding athletes, said the most decorated Winter Olympian of all time, Ole Einar Bjorndalen.
Bjorndalen, 43, an eight-time Olympic biathlon champion, has called for more compelling evidence than scratch marks supposedly found on sample bottles of some Russian athletes if they are to be implicated in the ongoing doping scandal.
"I hope that we will be able to see some evidence for what they [Russian athletes] are being punished, and that it it’s not that there are some marks on the bottles, because then I will be terribly afraid of giving samples,” Bjorndalen, said, as cited by the Norwegian News Agency (NTB).
