“Another turbidity that starts to wander from time to time,” the Championship quotes Koloskov.

According to him, WADA does not have the right to prevent anyone, since this decision can only be made by the International Football Federation (FIFA).

“FIFA will make a statement, it will make some sense to comment on this information. The more we comment on any nonsense, the more problems we will have. Another banal provocation, ”added Koloskov.

On February 5, an Arab television channel announced that Russia had received a notification from WADA about the non-admission to the World Cup 2022 in football.

On December 9, 2019, the WADA Executive Committee recognized RUSADA as non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and suspended Russia for four years from international competitions, and also forbade it from hosting international tournaments. In addition, it was recommended that Russian athletes participate in competitions only in neutral status.

This is due to the identification of intentional changes in the data of the Moscow laboratory, the transfer of which in its original form was one of the key conditions for restoring RUSADA compliance status.

On February 3, WADA sent an official request to CAS for a public hearing on a dispute with RUSADA.

Earlier, the RFU press service reacted to information about Russia's non-admission to the World Cup-2022.
