MOSCOW, November 12 – RIA Novosti. The deputies of the State Duma from the Communist Party Valery Rashkin and Sergei Obukhov sent to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev request that asked to consider the possibility of imposing sanctions against foreign citizens and organizations, including representatives of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), involved in fomenting scandal of doping by athletes of the Russian Federation to the document, which is available to RIA Novosti.

Copies of the request and sent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov and Minister of Sport Vitaly Mutko.

In Geneva, November 9 press conference was held WADA, in which an independent commission organizations accused Russia of numerous violations of anti-doping rules and recommended IAAF suspend Russian athletes to participate in competitions under its auspices, including the 2016 Olympics. Later WADA temporarily suspended the work of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory, after which its head Grigory Rodchenkov resigned.

In addition, to the WADA consider that Mutko was aware of numerous manipulations with doping tests, and systemic doping the country covers FSB.

“Sami wording accusations voiced by WADA, at first glance, seem to be comical and oriented to the Western media, a reflex is excited at any mention of the Russian special services. This is not surprising, given the fact that they are based on fantasy Journalists “- note the Obukhov and Rashkin in the request.

In addition, according to deputies, Mutko rightly pointed out that the head of the commission WADA Richard Pound exceeded his authority by calling for the exclusion of Russian athletes from the competition, and its assessment of the Russian system of the fight against doping is purely political in nature.

It is worth mentioning that the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), of course, immediately endorsed the work of WADA to investigate doping Russian athletes “, – explains the deputy.

” The head of the board of the Athletics Federation of Great Britain (UK Athletics) Ed Warner had already called to deprive Russia of the right to host the Junior World Championship 2016, which will be held in Kazan. Thus, it becomes obvious political subtext so-called doping scandal, which requires a political as an answer “, – assured the deputies.

Therefore, Obukhov and Rashkin asked to” consider the possibility of imposing sanctions on certain foreign citizens and organizations, starting with representatives of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and other individuals and entities involved in fomenting designated scandal, as well as to work out individual measures against them “.
