Swedish biathlon: "There was no ordering job"

At 6am on Saturday morning, Italian police rushed into the hotel room where sprint world champion Alexander Loginov slept.

A doping raid was conducted against Loginov and his personal trainer Aleksandr Kasperovich, in particular.

"They seized a cell phone, a computer and some of my personal things," Loginov told Russian Match TV.

The Russian believes that the strike was made on behalf of the International Biathlon Association.

It now denies Niklas Carlsson, secretary general of IBU.

- We can confirm that we have taken advantage of the information that you have also provided. Later in the week there was a case where his coach had a false accreditation that we reported to our integrity department. Then they have dealt with the issue after that. That's what I know. There was no ordering job on our part. Then you should know that in Italy these are police issues, he says and continues.

- You link it to earning prize money by cheating, which I think is good. It also becomes more dramatic when the police make the strike. It's incredibly good that we have the police looking into these issues, ”he tells SVT Sport.

You were not informed that this would happen?

- No.

Your reaction?

- I think it's good when it becomes a police case. I think that's the way to get rid of doping and we support it.
