“I can only express my personal opinion. The qualifying tournament for the World Cup is organized by UEFA, and this is a continental competition. Each confederation is responsible for its qualifications and decides who will represent it in Qatar. According to WADA logic, this is a continental tournament, so, as far as I can tell, the sanctions will not affect the selection for the World Cup 2022, ”Sorokin told RT.
Earlier, Sorokin expressed the hope that the WADA decision will not affect the attendance of Euro 2020 matches in Russia.
