52 RUSSIA is banned from interna- tional competition after a World Anti-Doping Agency report re- vealed "state-sponsored" doping in the country. It remains to be seen whether the IAAF suspension will be lift- ed in time for Russia to take part in Rio in August. "I hope if it does get to that stage where there are Russian athletes competing in Rio in the Olympics, really drastic meas- ures have been put in place to make sure that nothing like this happens again," London 2012 heptathlon champion Ennis-Hill told the BBC. "I'd be lying if I would say that I wouldn't look at Russian athletes and think, 'Is everything 100 per cent OK?' because that's just natural for any athlete to feel like that after these different stories and situations have arisen." Ennis-Hill has first-hand ex- perience of losing out to a Rus- sian drug cheat. She was beaten to gold at the World Champion- ships in 2011 in Daegu by Taty- ana Chernova, who was later banned when a sample from the 2009 World Championships was retested and revealed an anabol- ic steroid. The Briton is still waiting to find out whether she will be up- graded to gold. Chernova's results over a two- year period from August 2009 were annulled, but the period of disqualification expired two weeks before Daegu. Chernova would not have had the qualif y- ing standard for the 2011 event if her positive test had been discov- ered at the time, though. Ennis-Hill also revealed her horror at the scale of ingrained corruption at world governing body the IAAF, laid bare by a second WADA report released a week ago. "As an athlete competing at this time, it's really awful to see and awful to read about, but at the same time you have to think that our sport has to go through this really terrible time," she said. "It has to go to the very bottom, to the darkest place for it to then rise and come out the other side. "There's been some really hor- rible stories to read. When you hear about what has been going on within the IAAF, within Rus- sia, as an athlete it is just so dis- appointing. "You put your faith and your confidence in organisations to make sure that the sport is gov- erned well...and obviously that hasn't been the case. It needs to be addressed and it is a huge problem." maltatoday, SUNDAY, 24 JANUARY 2016 Sport ATHLETICS BOXING Athletics in dark place - Ennis-Hill Jessica Ennis- Hill would have doubts over Russian athletes if they were cleared to compete at the Olympics in Rio I'll Never Fight Haye, He's A Bum – Fury Tyson Fury has launched another scathing attack on David Haye and reiterated his vow to deny the Londoner a world title shot FORMER WBA world heav y- weight champion Haye (27-2, 25 KOs) made his comeback after over three years of inactivity on January 16 when he blasted out Mark de Mori in the first round - but Fury wasn't exactly an in- terested spectator. Twice the pair had been due to meet before Haye's lengthy absence and twice the former cruiserweight king pulled out with injury, leaving WBA Super and WBO world heav y weight champion Fury adamant he'll never sign up for a third time. When asked about Haye's re- turn, Fury told Sky Sports: "I didn't see it, to be honest. I heard he was fighting a no-hoper. I was in New York city building a big fight while he was fighting some bum in London. He fought a bum but what can you expect after three years out? "I've made it quite clear, after what he did to me twice I'll nev- er give him the fight. I'll never give him a pay day so people can try and build it and do what they want to do. "He's trying to get money from me. I'm not prepared to give it to him. Just like he wasn't pre- pared to give me any money, I'm not prepared to give him any money. "He is a bum and he's going no- where. He has had his shot and he's only a cruiserweight any- way. It's great to be in this posi- tion. It's like a freezing cold beer straight out of the fridge - that's what it feels like. "If he was mandatory for the WBA belt, I'd chuck it in the bin, because what does it really mean any way? Let him fight someone else for it. I'm not interested in his name, his reputation or any- thing. As far as I'm concerned, he's not even in my division. "No matter who he beats or who he knocks out, I'll never fight him. I don't care if they offer me £100m. It's about principles. I trained hard for two fights with him and he retired rather than fight. Now let him make some money off his own back." Next up for Fury is a rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, whose 11-year reign as the divisional kingpin he ended with Novem- ber's points victory in Dussel- dorf.
