Informant of the World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA) Grigory Rodchenkov is ready to provide data on doping in Russian football. About this with reference to Jim Walden, lawyer Rodchenkov, reports The Daily Mail. The evidence that Rodchenkov is ready to provide the International Football Federation (FIFA) allegedly confirm that dozens of Russian players, including players of the national team, were participants in the state doping program.
In the Russian Football Union (RFU), the statement of the lawyer Rodchenkov was called "cheap provocation." "If [ information about doping - RS ] will appear on the FIFA website, that is, the opportunity to speculate. In the meantime, this is a cheap provocation," said the Honorary President of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov.
In 2015, the independent WADA commission presented a report on state support for the use of doping in Russian sports. The basis for the preparation of the report, in particular, was the testimony of Grigory Rodchenkov, the ex-head of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory. National anti-doping agencies of seventeen countries demand to remove Russia from the 2018 Winter Olympiad. The final decision on this issue is expected to be made in early December.
Rodchenkov currently lives in the USA. In Russia, he is arrested in absentia. Last week, the Olympic Committee of Russia was called upon to shoot Rodchenkov.
