Nikolai Pankratov was among the participants in the Russian Biathlon Cup in Izhevsk, in the individual race with seven misses he took 15th place, four and a half minutes behind the winner Dmitry Yaroshenko (3 misses). It was September 8 - just on this day, Nikolai's two-year disqualification in cross-country skiing ended. "Skiing" contacted Nikolai to wish him good luck and find out the details:

- Nikolay, the main question at once: why biathlon?
- To be honest, I have always liked this sport, even when I was still a pure skier. It was interesting even to watch the process of racing. And as soon as the opportunity arose, I gladly took advantage of it.

- How did this opportunity come about?
- Once, already during his disqualification, he came to biathlon competitions - just as a spectator. I talked with Nikolai Petrovich Lopukhov, with other coaches. There was an idea to try. I contacted Vladimir Vladimirovich Bragin, who works with a group of biathletes from KhMAO. I was familiar with many of his guys: with the same Dima Yaroshenko or Artem Gusev. And with Alexei Trusov, I generally trained in the same team - when we were junior skiers. And I'm glad that we managed to find a common language.

- How did the training go?
- Last year I just kept in shape with the group of Vladimir Bragin. After it started winter season, worked with the team as a serviceman. I did all the work on a common basis: I tested skis, conjured with lubrication. Highly useful experience I'll tell you. I ran for the Russian national team for many years and really had no idea how the skis were prepared. I think now that I have an understanding of certain nuances, it will be much easier for me to solve issues with the preparation of my own couples.

- The most difficult in the new form was, of course, shooting?
- Certainly. Considering that it was not necessary to hold a rifle in hands before. And the first few months were extremely difficult. Now it’s already easier - after all, more than a year has passed since the initial training. The rifle has ceased to be perceived as something alien, work at the shooting range has become an organic part. Yes, the problems remain, and the first race showed them perfectly. For starters, there is not enough stability. For example, last season in training I was better at standing, now - prone.

- Were you disappointed?
- Well, it was naive to think that I would immediately start shooting at zero. Goes normal training process that can bear fruit. If we talk about the functional form, then two years, of course, did not pass without a trace. I would like to believe that with each new start, the body will “remember” what it is to endure at the limit of its capabilities.

It seemed to many that the most logical thing would be to return to cross-country skiing, where you were considered one of the leaders of the Russian team.
- It is difficult for me to answer this remark. I just don't feel like talking about Russian skiing. I only had a couple of friends there, that's all. I can only say that I am grateful to those people who supported me at such a difficult moment. There weren't many, but they were. Thanks a lot to all of them. As one said famous athlete: “When you go upstairs, your friends will know who you are. When you go down, you will know who your friends are."

Perhaps an equally awkward question, if you will. Why did you previously run for the Sverdlovsk region, but with the transition to biathlon, you began to represent Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug?
- Because I have not had contacts with the Sverdlovsk region for about two years - since it became known about my problems. It quickly became clear that this region no longer needed me. And when Khanty-Mansiysk extended a helping hand, I responded with gratitude. I will try to make sure that our cooperation is mutually beneficial.

In the Bragin group, besides you, another former skier, albeit not so famous, is training - Mikhail Belov, the winner of the Russian Cup stages.
- I can only say that we are very lucky in this sense. It is clear that when moving from one sport to another, there are no universal recipes. There is a constant dialogue with Vladimir Vladimirovich Bragin, a discussion of certain steps. We offer something from clean skis, we peep something from the specifics of biathlon. We consult with Yuri Viktorovich Borodavko, with whom I worked for about 10 years in the Russian national cross-country skiing team, with some foreign experts. There is an ongoing search.

- Will it be correct to discuss your plans?
- I understand that there is no time for adaptation, the result must be shown here and now. I've missed so much. Like it or not, you still think about the Olympics in Sochi. As, however, and any of our biathletes. Naturally, I have no carte blanche. I start with summer competitions, then there will be stages of the Russian Cup. It all depends on the result that can be shown. The consolation is that in modern biathlon there are many athletes over 30 who continue to remain at the very top.

- Now, probably, it is already possible to ask: what was the most difficult for these two years of disqualification?
- I can even name the exact figures. The most difficult period lasted from September 8, 2010, when this whole story began, to the end of January 2011, when the deadline for filing an appeal against the disqualification decision expired. At first I wanted to fight, I wanted to prove the absurdity of the accusations. And then I realized that I would not do anything against such a colossus as FIS alone. And calmed down. And so it took too much money and nerves for all these proceedings. After that, the rest of the term flew by very quickly. I did not notice how it was time to go to the start again.

An excerpt characterizing Pankratov, Nikolai Vladimirovich

- Allowed? Allowed? That's how you always are, young people,” said the regimental commander, cooling down somewhat. - Allowed? You say something, and you and ... - The regimental commander paused. - You say something, and you and ... - What? he said, getting irritated again. - Please dress people decently ...
And the regimental commander, looking back at the adjutant, with his shuddering gait, went to the regiment. It was evident that he himself liked his irritation, and that, having walked up and down the regiment, he wanted to find another pretext for his anger. Having cut off one officer for an uncleaned badge, another for an irregular row, he approached the 3rd company.
- How are you standing? Where is the leg? Where is the leg? - shouted the regimental commander with an expression of suffering in his voice, another five people did not reach Dolokhov, dressed in a bluish overcoat.
Dolokhov slowly straightened bent leg and directly, with his bright and insolent look, he looked into the face of the general.
Why the blue overcoat? Down with… Feldwebel! Change his clothes ... rubbish ... - He did not have time to finish.
“General, I am obliged to carry out orders, but I am not obliged to endure ...” Dolokhov said hastily.
- Do not talk in the front! ... Do not talk, do not talk! ...
“I am not obliged to endure insults,” Dolokhov finished loudly, sonorously.
The eyes of the general and the soldier met. The General fell silent, angrily pulling down his tight scarf.
“If you please, change your clothes, please,” he said, walking away.

- It's coming! shouted the machinist at that time.
The regimental commander, blushing, ran up to the horse, with trembling hands took hold of the stirrup, flung the body over, recovered himself, drew his sword, and with a happy, resolute face, with his mouth open to one side, prepared to shout. The regiment started like a recovering bird and froze.
- Smir r r na! - the regimental commander shouted in a soul-shaking voice, joyful for himself, strict in relation to the regiment and friendly in relation to the approaching chief.
Along a wide, tree-lined, high, highwayless road, slightly rattling its springs, a tall blue Viennese carriage rode in a train at a fast trot. A retinue and a convoy of Croats galloped behind the carriage. Near Kutuzov sat an Austrian general in a strange, among black Russians, white uniform. The carriage stopped at the regiment. Kutuzov and the Austrian general were quietly talking about something, and Kutuzov smiled slightly, while, stepping heavily, he lowered his foot from the footboard, as if there weren’t those 2,000 people who were looking at him and the regimental commander without breathing .
There was a shout of the command, again the regiment, ringing, trembled, making guard. In the dead silence, the weak voice of the commander-in-chief was heard. The regiment bellowed: “We wish you good health, your lordship!” And again everything froze. At first, Kutuzov stood in one place while the regiment moved; then Kutuzov, next to the white general, on foot, accompanied by his retinue, began to walk through the ranks.
From the way the regimental commander saluted the commander-in-chief, glaring at him, stretching out and getting up, how he leaned forward followed the generals along the ranks, barely holding back his trembling movement, how he jumped at every word and movement of the commander-in-chief, it was clear that he was fulfilling his duties subordinate with even greater pleasure than the duties of a boss. The regiment, thanks to the severity and diligence of the regimental commander, was in excellent condition compared to others who came at the same time to Braunau. There were only 217 retarded and sick people. Everything was fine, except for the shoes.
Kutuzov walked through the ranks, occasionally stopping and saying a few kind words to the officers, whom he knew from the Turkish war, and sometimes to the soldiers. Glancing at the shoes, he shook his head sadly several times and pointed at them to the Austrian general with such an expression that he did not seem to reproach anyone for this, but he could not help but see how bad it was. The regimental commander ran ahead each time, afraid to miss the word of the commander-in-chief regarding the regiment. Behind Kutuzov, at such a distance that any weakly spoken word could be heard, walked a man of 20 retinues. The gentlemen of the retinues talked among themselves and sometimes laughed. Closest behind the commander-in-chief was a handsome adjutant. It was Prince Bolkonsky. Beside him walked his comrade Nesvitsky, a tall staff officer, extremely stout, with a kind and smiling handsome face and moist eyes; Nesvitsky could hardly restrain himself from laughing, aroused by the blackish hussar officer walking beside him. The hussar officer, without smiling, without changing the expression of his fixed eyes, looked with a serious face at the back of the regimental commander and mimicked his every movement. Every time the regimental commander shuddered and leaned forward, in exactly the same way, exactly in exactly the same way, the hussar officer shuddered and leaned forward. Nesvitsky laughed and pushed the others to look at the funny man.

Russian skier Nikolai Pankratov has been banned for two years for attempting to smuggle drugs prohibited by the anti-doping code across the border. The athlete will be able to compete again international competitions only in the fall of 2012 and miss the Olympics in Sochi.

Complete set in Pankratov's bag

Nikolai Pankratov has been suspended from the International Ski Federation for a period of two years for an incident that occurred on September 6, 2010 on the border between Austria and Switzerland. On that ill-fated day, customs officers found in Pankratov's luggage 22 ampoules of Actovegin and equipment for intravenous injection, which is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Code. International Federation skiing began to investigate this case on September 8, 2010, so it is from this date that the two-year disqualification begins Russian athlete.

One of the main arguments for accusing Pankratov was the presence of intravenous injection devices in his luggage. Actovegin is a vasodilator drug that is sold without a doctor's prescription, but is nevertheless blacklisted by the World Anti-Doping Agency. It is quite possible that if only ampoules were found in Pankratov's belongings, the punishment would not have become so severe.

Pankratov is one of the most titled skiers in the current Russian national team. At the age of 20, he won two gold medals at the Universiade in Tarvisio, Italy, and as an adult he won bronze at the World Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany in 2005 and silver at a similar tournament in Sapporo, Japan, in 2007. Several times the skier became a winner at the stages of the World Cup in cross-country skiing, once he won gold in the sprint and twice took part in the relay race that was victorious for the Russian team.

Pankratov outside Sochi

A dark streak in Pankratov's career was the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. He competed in only one individual 30K change-over event, in which he finished in a modest 32nd place. In his favorite relay race, Pankratov, together with his comrades, took a disastrous 8th place.

After the Vancouver failures, the Russian skier began to experience problems getting into the Russian national team, and therefore decided to look for a new country, under the flag of which he would compete. The most likely option for continuing Pankratov's career was the Belarusian national team. As a result of negotiations with the ski federation of this state, the Russian was offered a salary that suits him, and a service apartment was also prepared. But Pankratov never became a Belarusian athlete - without any explanation, he did not appear at the appointed time for the training camp.

The entire Russian team could seriously suffer from Pankratov's doping smuggling. Federations cross-country skiing, which on this moment headed by the famous Russian skier Elena Vyalbe in the past, have already issued a warning about the unsatisfactory work in the fight against doping. National team in this sport could be disqualified for four years through the fault of the federation, and also risked missing the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.

How to justify doping

However, now winter Games Nikolai Pankratov will definitely miss in Russia. According to the rules of the International Olympic Committee, an athlete caught doping cannot participate in the following after the expiration of the period of Ineligibility Olympic Games. Pankratov became a brother in misfortune Russian biathletes Albina Akhatova, Ekaterina Yuryeva and Dmitry Yaroshenko, who were disqualified for doping for a period from December 2008 to December 2010. 2014 in Sochi.

Pankratov violated Article 2.6 of the Anti-Doping Code, which is called "Possession of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods". Following the rules, he could have avoided punishment if he had a therapeutic use license for these drugs. In addition, if prohibited substances were found in the luggage of a national team doctor who uses them in an emergency, the athlete or the entire team would not be charged. In other words, the presence of such doping could only be justified by a medical necessity associated with a threat to the health or life of the skier.
