WADA calls for Russian athletes ban over doping allegations

Russia does not deny that it has problems with doping violations, but it has already taken all the necessary measures to fight doping, Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko said.

“We have nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, we have problems but we have never concealed them,” he said, adding that problems with doping exist in countries all over the world and “Russia has the same percent [of cheaters] as other countries.”

At the same time, Mutko said that the WADA report presented “no new facts and conclusions,” mostly echoing the narrative of the ARD TV show that was one of the reasons for the WADA’s enquiry.

Mutko also stressed that Russia would cooperate with WADA in discussing the issues presented in the report, as well as in discussing the recommendations proposed by the investigative commission.
