The former head of the Moscow Anti -Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov transferred additional information to the Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which, according to him, indicate the use of prohibited drugs by Russian athletes.
If the IOC does not give these materials a move, Rodchenkov threatens to independently publish the information that has the information that has it has, writes the British newspaper The Daily Mail . What is this information, the publication does not indicate - but assumes that they are able to play a decisive role in the issue of admission of the national team of the Russian Federation to participate in the 2018 Olympic Games.
In Russia, several criminal cases have been instituted against Rodchenkov, including the destruction of the doping industry of Russian athletes (there is a suspicion that he did this at the direction of WADA). He argues that, holding the post of head of the Moscow Anti -Doping Laboratory, he took part in concealing the facts of using doping by athletes, and this concealment was a centralized and controlled “from above” system.
The Russian authorities recognize certain cases of using doping by athletes, but deny the presence of a “state” system of covering them.
