The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee has suspended the activities of the Russian Olympic Committee and allowed the Russian athletes to perform in PyeongChang Games-2018 under the Olympic f lag in the status of «Olympic Athletes from Russia». The article considers the violated fundamental principles and norms of the international law and the human rights enshrined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention for the Protection of Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and guaranteed by constitutions of civilized states and by the Olympic Charter Rules. The decline of Russian representation in international organizations has resulted in the violation of the fundamental principles and essential values of Olympism, the Olympic Charter and in infringement of human rights and liberties. The Olympic Charter permits the athletes to challenge penalties relating to participation in the Olympic Games exclusively in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The study of judicial practice and legal precedents in national courts gives credence to the right of any person/entity to judicial protection of honour, dignity and business reputation from distribution of unfaithful defamatory information and to the right to demand compensation of losses and non- pecuniary damage at civil courts.The article gives some examples of athletes applying to the national courts with legal claims for compensation for professional and non-pecuniary damage. The issues of defence of the National Olympic Committee, the Paralympic Committee, the interests and professional reputation of athletes of the great sporting empire should be handled originally at the governmental level, with involvement of international law counsellors. It is necessary to reform the sports system and the anti-doping laws. WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) activities and the sport management system should be transparent, comprehensible and verifiable.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Тема борьбы с допингом превратилась в тему жесткого политического давления на Россиюи на российское общественное мнение перед президентскими выборами в России 2018 г. ИсполкомМеждународного олимпийского комитета приостановил деятельность Олимпийского комитета Россиии разрешил российским спортсменам выступить на Играх-2018 в Пхенчхане под олимпийским флагом в ста-тусе «спортсмены-олимпийцы из России».В статье рассматриваются нарушенные основополагающие принципы и нормы международного пра-ва и права человека, закрепленные Всеобщей декларацией прав человека и Конвенцией о защите прави основных свобод и гарантированные конституциями цивилизованных государств, а также правила-ми Олимпийской хартии. Снижение российского представительства в международных организацияхпривело к нарушению основополагающих принципов и важнейших ценностей олимпийского движения,Олимпийской хартии и к ущемлению прав и свобод человека. Олимпийская хартия разрешает спор-тсменам оспаривать наказания, связанные с участием в Олимпиаде, исключительно в Спортивномарбитражном суде (CAS). Изучение судебной практики и судебных прецедентов в национальных судахуказывает на право каждого на судебную защиту чести, достоинства и деловой репутации от рас-пространения не соответствующих действительности порочащих сведений и на право требовать воз-мещения убытков и морального вреда в гражданских судах.В статье приведены примеры судебных исков спортсменов в национальные суды о возмещении профес-сионального и морального ущерба. Защиту Олимпийского комитета России, Паралимпийского коми-тета России, интересов и профессиональной репутации спортсменов великой спортивной державынеобходимо начинать на государственном уровне с привлечением адвокатов по международному праву.Деятельность Всемирного антидопингового агентства (WADA) и система управления спортом долж-ны быть прозрачными, понятными и проверяемыми.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>деятельность WADA</kwd><kwd>допинг</kwd><kwd>национальный суверенитет</kwd><kwd>право на справедливое судеб-ное разбирательство</kwd><kwd>Спортивный арбитражный суд</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bergan Arve E. // URL: https://antidopingworld.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/vladimir-putin-was-at-the-heart-of-the-russia- drug-scandal-alleges-doper-in-chief-who-claims-he-doped-half-of-his-countrys-72-london-2012- medalists-icarus-is-a- documentary-film/.
