“FIFA took note of the decision made today by the WADA Executive Committee. FIFA is in contact with WADA and the Association of International Olympic Summer Sports Federations (ASOIF) to clarify the effect of the decision on football, ”FIFA said in response to an RT request.

The WADA Executive Committee decided to remove Russia from international competitions for a period of four years. The reason was a series of manipulations with the database of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory.

Earlier, the head of the WADA Compliance Committee said that RUSADA could not continue its work.
