Taken for analysis

The Commission of the International Football Federation on Ethics began verification regarding a member of the executive committee of the organization, Minister of Sports of Russia Vitaly Mutko. This was reported by the BBC with reference to the statement of the commission.

The reason was the charges against Mutko in the report of the independent commission of the World Anti -Doping Agency under the leadership of the Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren.

"The FIFA Ethics Investigation Chamber has taken note of the report of the report and carefully studied it. If the report contains violations of the FIFA Ethics Code, the Investigative Chamber will take appropriate measures and inform about this in accordance with the appropriate way," the commission said.

Mutko, unlike his deputy Yuri of the Nagornoi, did not fall among the officials who were temporarily suspended from their posts after the publication of the report, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said . "Mutko is not mentioned in the WADA report as a direct performer of those actions in which the people mentioned are suspected," Peskov told reporters.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee said that they would not provide accreditation at the 2016 Olympics for any official of the Russian Ministry of Sports, as well as mentioned in the WADA report. Thus, the restrictions of the IOC will affect Mutko as the head of the Ministry of Sports.

The IOC intends to accept the decision to admit Russian athletes to the Olympics in the next weekend.

On the eve of WADA , the IOC called for the IOC to remove Russian athletes from any international competitions, including from the Olympics in Rio. Agency President Craig Reidy also demanded Mutko's resignation.

On Monday, McLaren, the head of the WADA independent commission, presented the results of the investigation . As it turned out, during the Olympics in Sochi, the Russian Ministry of Sports initiated and kept the manipulation of Russian athletes under the control of the doping tests. The deputy head of the Nagorny department was directly related to the substitution of the samples. Manipulations were given with the active participation of the FSB.

As the WADA investigation established, the state doping program has existed the latest since 2010. It was launched after the Olympics in Vancouver and lasted at least until August 2015.

After the publication of the report, Vladimir Putin promised to remove the officials mentioned in the investigation before the end of the official audit in their relation.
