” According to the European Armwrestling Federation (EAF) on the official website of the WAF – only one of doping tests in European Armwrestling Championship in Poland (Katowice) gave a positive result. And, sadly – a drug found in the Russian athlete Elena Usatova.

We write, speak, warning – all to no purpose!

Since all the same, despite the entreaties, warnings, thorough chewing of the situation – in the national team of Russia in arm wrestling are people willing to jeopardize the fate of the Russian Armwrestling Federation (RAF) and the fate of their colleagues, athletes and coaches, RAF reserves the right to preventive action !

On this day Elena Usatova fully admitted her guilt, she didn’t request the analysis of the B Sample.

Newsletters about violation of anti-doping rules of the athlete will soon be sent to the place of study (work), the authorities of the subject of the Russian Federation at the place of residence and the competent authorities.

In the same way, the Anti-doping Committee of RAF develops a number of additional measures and sanctions aimed at preventing such cases! “
