MOSCOW – are “baseless” allegations that the Russian Federation of athletics from the report of the Committee of WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency: the supports Putin’s spokesman, Dmitri Peskov. “The question – said Peskov – is that if there are allegations then they must be supported by some evidence, until we heard the evidence is difficult to hear the allegations are unfounded.” The document detailed, 323-page report the widespread use of banned substances in sports and coverage of the Russian government and even the FSB, the secret services in Moscow: in fact a system of doping state. The report calls for the suspension from international competitions of all Russian athletes, who therefore may not take part in the Olympic Games in Rio.

Within the document that has uncovered doping of state in Russia, in addition to the request to suspend the Russian Federation of Athletics from competitions for two years, there are names of managers and players to be disqualified for life. In addition to athletes of the caliber of Savinova and Poistogova, gold and bronze in the 800 in London 2012, is a household name in his homeland, where he is called “the father of all the victories of our marchers”. And ‘Viktor Chegin, 53 year old, who has built all the successes of the Russian march operating nell’inavvicinabile specialized center and secret of Saransk is the most successful coach in the world but also much talked about for its working methods that would run parallel with doping.
