"Not so long ago, speaking with an interview, I said that in this case it is obvious that on the Russian side, I mean in our sports community there are significant problems with doping so far, this cannot be denied," Medvedev quotes TASS.
Earlier, the WADA executive committee decided to remove Russia from participating in major international competitions for fraud with data from the Moscow laboratory.
Andrei Klimov, deputy chairman of the Federation Council’s committee on international affairs, said that following an appropriate decision by WADA, Russia should deal with Russian officials who are responsible for anti-doping policies.
