"The information received is currently being carefully checked. We draw the attention of all interested persons to the fact that three out of four biathletes, which are indicated in the letter, completed their sports career. The fourth athlete at the moment does not advocate or train in the national team of the country, "- said in a statement on the official website of the RRF.
The organization intends to conduct an investigation, and the athletes themselves within 14 days must decide whether they will challenge information from the commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The IBU Congress will be held in Porec (Croatia) on September 5-9. They will consider the issue of rebuilding the RRF, which was lowered in December last year to temporary membership for an anti-doping rule violation.
Earlier it was reported that the Olympic champion in rowing on kayaks was disqualified for refusing a doping test.
