The United States Department of Justice has openedan investigation into state-sponsored doping bydozens of Russia’s top athletes, two people familiarwith the case said. The inquiry escalates what hasbeen a roiling sports controversy into a federalcriminal case involving foreign officials.
兩名知戀人士泄漏，美國法律部正在針對俄羅斯幾十位頂級活動員在當局支撐下服用高興劑一事睜開查詢拜訪。這項查詢拜訪將此事從一樁辣手的體育爭議，進級為觸及外國官員的美國聯邦刑事案件。
The United States attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York is scrutinizing Russiangovernment officials, athletes, coaches, antidoping authorities and anyone who might havebenefited unfairly from a doping regime, according to the people, who did not haveauthorization to speak about the inquiry publicly. Prosecutors are believed to be pursuingconspiracy and fraud charges.
據上述知戀人士泄漏，紐約州東區的聯邦審查官辦公室正在查詢拜訪一些俄羅斯當局官員、活動員、鍛練、反高興劑機構，和任何大概從應用高興劑的體系體例中欠妥獲益的人。兩人沒有得到授權，沒法公然評論辯論這一案件。據信，檢樸直試圖建立的是謀害和欺騙罪名。
Federal courts have allowed prosecutors to bring cases against foreigners living abroad if thereis some connection to the United States. That connection can be limited, such as the use of anAmerican bank.
美國聯邦法院許可檢方對在外洋棲身的外籍人士提告狀訟，條件是他們與美國存在聯系關系。這類聯系關系會比擬有限，好比應用美國銀行的辦事。
A report published by the World Anti-Doping Agency in November accused Russia ofsystematic state-sponsored doping. The chemist identified as a linchpin in that operation —Grigory Rodchenkov, the longtime head of Russia’s antidoping laboratory — told The New YorkTimes this month that he worked for years, at the direction of the Russian government, to helpthe country’s athletes use banned, performance-enhancing substances in global competitionand go undetected.
客歲11月，天下反高興劑機構(World Anti-Doping Agency)宣布了一份申報，控告俄羅斯存在獲得國度支撐的體系性地應用高興劑的情形。歷久擔負俄羅斯反高興劑試驗室主任的格裏戈裏·羅琴科夫(GrigoryRodchenkov)被以為是在個中飾演癥結腳色的化學家。他本月告知《紐約時報》，在俄羅斯當局的指導下，他多年來一向在贊助俄羅斯活動員在環球性的競賽中應用可以進步競賽成就的犯禁藥物，並一齊向外界遮蓋。
Dr. Rodchenkov is among the people under scrutiny by the United States government, saidone of the two people with direct knowledge of the case.
對此案件有直接懂得的兩名流士中的一名表現，羅琴科夫是美國當局正在查詢拜訪的人物之一。
Russian officials have responded to the accusations with both defiance and contrition. Whileoften emphatically dismissing the claims as a Western conspiracy intended to discreditRussia, they have sometimes struck a more conciliatory tone, perhaps seeking to win thefavor of sports officials in control of their country’s ability to compete in the coming SummerOlympics in Rio de Janeiro.
對付這些控告，俄羅斯官員既表現抗議，也做出了後悔的姿勢。只管他們還像一向所做的那樣將此類控告斥為西方用意廢弛俄羅斯聲譽的詭計，但他們偶然也會采用一種更和緩的語氣，大概是在試圖諂諛可以決議該國可否加入行將到來的裏約熱內盧夏日奧運會的那些國際體育官員。
The Russian Sports Ministry acknowledged doping problems in a statement last week after Dr.Rodchenkov’s claims were published in The Times. It did not specify what those problems were.Then, writing in The Sunday Times, a British newspaper, the Russian sports minister, VitalyMutko, said that Russian officials, coaches and athletes had made “serious mistakes,” but hestopped short of outlining them or admitting to any state involvement.
在時報註銷了羅琴科夫的談吐以後，俄羅斯體育部上周宣布了一份聲明，認可該國存在高興劑題目。文中沒有詳細解釋存在哪些題目。接著，俄羅斯體育部長維塔利·穆特科(Vitaly Mutko)在英國媒體《日曜日泰晤士報》(The Sunday Times)上發文表現，一些俄羅斯官員、鍛練和活動員犯下了“緊張的毛病”，但他既沒有點明是甚麽毛病，也沒有認可當局與之有任何幹聯。
In their inquiry, United States prosecutors are expected to scrutinize anyone who might havefacilitated unclean competition in the United States or used the United States banking systemto conduct a doping program.
美國檢方查詢拜訪的工具，估計會包含全部大概促進在美國境內的競賽中湧現服藥征象的人，和應用美國的銀行體系實行高興劑籌劃的人。
Elite Russian athletes have competed in several major sporting events in the United States, likethe Boston Marathon and international bobsled and skeleton championships in Lake Placid, N.Y.
俄羅斯頂級活動員在美國加入過量項龐大賽事，好比波士頓馬拉松賽，和在紐約州普萊西德湖舉行的國際有舵雪橇和鋼架雪橇錦標賽。
The inquiry, which originated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, would have to clearseveral hurdles before charges could be filed. Even if prosecutors are able to establishjurisdiction, securing the cooperation of Russian authorities in pursuing evidence andwitnesses — and in ultimately delivering any charged defendants to the United States — wouldbe all but impossible.
在提告狀訟以前，這項起首由美國聯邦查詢拜訪局(Federal Bureau of Investigation)提議的查詢拜訪必需起首辦理幾個停滯。就算美國檢方建立了法律統領權，要讓俄羅斯政府合營他們獲得證據和證人——和終極將受到控告的被告移交給美國——也險些是弗成能的。
