“Russia is the most effective country in the fight against doping” – Sports Minister Matytsin
Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin stated that Russia is the largest anti-doping country in the world.
As part of the agenda of the President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) As part of the World Council of the organization, it was stated that it continues to comply with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to prevent Russia from starting the session.
– Yesterday, WADA was very aggressive against RUSADA and all Russian sports. Do you see these statements and what do you think of them?
— I do not like to comment on the statements of international organizations. In any case, they make their statements, as we have already understood, in a rather politicized way. They are very often set up to discriminate in Russian sports.
We adhere to the position that we continue, however, cooperation is needed. To do everything possible to protect the interests of our athletes from a legal point of view. If used, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency is a direct partner and interacts with WADA.
WADA has repeatedly acknowledged that the Russian Federation is currently one of the most effective, if not the most effective in the fight against doping. Acceptance audit for all. And this gives us the right to say that we have experience of communication. And all proposals to us must have a very clear legal character. If we don’t come to light with something, naturally, we will defend our interests in the arbitration court,” Matytsin said at a press conference.
