Cecilia Brækhus (34) believes Norwegian Confederation of Sports (NIF) is more concerned with power than anti-doping and taking powerful retort after idrettspresident Tom Tvedt (48) has slaughtered “Team Brækhus” -The application to have boxing in Norway.
Tvedt mean the application has major shortcomings when it comes to anti-doping work. According sports president is not near to comply with the standard rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency – the so-called “WADA code.”
Wherefore Confederation that Brækhus should get “no” on his biggest wish: to fight on Norwegian soil in the near future.
This despite the fact that Anti-Doping Norway is positive, and believe it is possible to find a good solution with Brækhus.
– we knew NIF came to use doping now. They get desperate. First, they used this with injuries, but we were able to show that all that they said about injuries and boxing actually voted. Then the next step is doping, says Brækhus VG.
She is currently on holiday in Dubai, but is not able to take time off from the struggle to fight on Norwegian soil before his career is over.
these days treat “knockoutnemnda,” also called “approval committee” with lawyer Niels Kiær at the helm, the application of “Team Brækhus” about getting arrange professional box convention in Norway.

It is thus becoming the first since the beginning of the 80s.
– I would dearly wish that this goes in order in my time. NIF fighting against windmills, and one can not take all the power. One must be able to cooperate with sports that are not at the Olympics tab where NIF sitting with all the economic benefits, says Brækhus.

NIF butcher application
Norwegian Confederation of Sports (NIF) is consulted for all applications received, and their conclusion is clear: “NIF can not see how the Tribunal shall give the company approval for knockoutforskriften” .
– you total butcher in practice application?
– Regarding doping so that zero tolerance. Whether you follow the system, or so one must follow what not. Therefore we stood up against the X Games, and therefore we stand up against this. I do not use your expression (total harvest, editor.) But we are clear in our feedback. We say frankly that this is not a safeguarding and monitoring of anti-doping regulations, says Tvedt told VG.
VG has gained access to two of the letters signed by idrettspresident Tvedt and legal manager at NOC Henriette Hillestad Thune. In the first, dated 12 February are among other things that “… the applicant does not have the expertise or seriousness to help in the fight against doping in sport.”
There is also pulled forward the application of Brækhus and her collaborators no regulations to prevent match-fixing. In a second letter, dated March 14, only the problem of doping is highlighted.
– Scary
– They are trying to demonize me that doping is something I not care about. It is sinking very low. They took their toll on snowboard connected in X Games case, but they have not the same roof on me financially, says Brækhus determined.

– So you think this is about power and not doping?
– Of course. They want full control over me. I think it’s time to get a sport where NIF not have the other in a stranglehold. This starts to get scary. It’s all the power in the management of the federation, said 34-year-old who has been a professional boxer since 2007 and stands at 28 victories in as many matches.
She believes NIF no longer can “close the borders for the rest of the world” and stresses:
– We have created a system which is the strictest in the world. Anyone who wants to box in Norway must accept to be tested without notice. We’re all for tougher doping testing. I do not want to meet a boxer who is drugged.
Belief in solution
CEO of Anti-Doping Norway, Anders Solheim, read the feedback from the NIF to “knockoutnemnda.”

– Do you experience the NIF printer that legitimate?
– there must be almost answer itself. We believe it is possible to achieve an anti-doping program that follows international doping regulations – even for organizations that want to follow the WADA doping rules, says Solheim told VG.
– And there you are experiencing that “Team Brækhus» doing?
– We have had a very limited dialogue with them until now, but I can not see that there is something in the way of that also this kind events can have a proper anti-doping work, Mr Solheim – adding:
– When the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was going according to WADA code, it should be possible to get it here in Norway too.
VG confronted Tom Tvedt with initiative from Antidoping Norway yesterday:
– Antidoping Norway is therefore not absolutely agree with you, what do sports president about it?
– It gets the answer for. We have responded to the sport. We (Antidoping Norway and NIF, editor.) Not in an office and cling together. We did not agree to change the politicians did, however, relate to the government has decided. Here we received a request for an opinion, and it has made.

– How do you think the Norwegian people accept this?
– we must ensure that Norwegian sports follower doping rules we have signed on . The feedback from the Minister of Culture under the Youth Olympic Games was crystal clear: We must follow up the fight against doping and match-fixing. And I think the Norwegian people understand, says Tvedt adding:
– The same was true for X Games: We would have to satisfy the provisions set there. It’s not that something is inside, while something else is outside. We follow the rules that exist. Therefore, one has WADA, and we follow their rules.

still working on your application
According to lawyer Morten Andreassen jobs Team Brækhus continued to improve its application
– Final release is not delivered. We have changed our application a lot during the process, which also was the intention, partly due to constructive input from NOC, WADA, approval Tribunal and other contact point, Andreassen says to VG.
– I hope that NIF has an agenda to follow the elected representatives decision and that this is about creating better and safer services – can not stop the politicians have decided that to be implemented. If NIF is at odds with the political will, we’ll get an unhealthy situation which primarily will be negative for the NIF and trust them, says Andreassen.
Lest this? Now the application processed that determines whether Brækhus get boxing in Norway
PS what VG knows it will be sent a new application version in late week. “Knockoutnemnds’ leader, Niels Kiær, has previously said VG that he does not comment on the application while it is pending.
