German journalist Hajo Seppelt, who covers doping issues, stated that the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) should revise its "friendship" with the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) President Thomas Bach, during an anti-doping symposium in Berlin on Monday.
"It is now the time ... when one has to question the friendship with Thomas Bach and decide if German sport should finally emancipate itself from the IOC president, because like this it doesn't work anymore," the journalist said.
Seppelt, who was behind a German ARD documentary on alleged doping in Russian sports, said that "in 2013 the IOC already knew about Russia’s machinations and didn’t take any action."
President of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, Alfons Hoermann, continued, stating "the fact that the Russian team arrived in Rio and was represented there was not in order."
"The responsibility rests with international professional associations, WADA, CAS [Court of Arbitration for Sport] and the IOC," he added.
