“Olympic games – is a complex event, one athletics will not do. and swimming and canoeing, and shooting and gymnastics, and biking. They have to understand that for many of them – the leaders of the federations – this is the last Olympic Games. In the literal and figurative sense. We can not wait any longer! subsidiarity, independence, non-interference – it’s a beautiful thing, but we need to have to give a certain result, “- said Vitaly Mutko.

They control it, he travels to the competitions, “Diamond leagues”, “- said Vitaly Mutko. – They checked generalize somewhere folded, and then have something happen, and they got it. And now all accused Russia. And what you actually blame her? It’s your test, we did not they take “.

“You are there took samples hung athletes on the neck the medal, said that all is well, and then took some list again and start blaming the country? A what is to blame? The fact that you have a non-transparent system, or you do not have the quality of doping control? The fight against doping is not only applies to Russia, because it is the athletes of the world pool. They travel all over the world, we have them here do not even see ” – the minister said.
