Until July 2016, unauthorized persons had access to the database of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA). This was stated on Monday, November 13, by Russian Minister of Sport Pavel Kolobkov. "Last week, there was some information, but in fact it is not new, it was a long time for them. There is an operational system of the Russian anti-doping laboratory, this is essentially a management program, and its creators Timofey Sobolevsky and Oleg Migachev are in America, where they left before Rodchenkova. They had access to this program, open entrance, "- quotes RIA Novosti Minister. According to him, our investigative bodies should investigate on what basis the entrance to this system was carried out from abroad. "Migachev was just the administrator, the developer of this system and received monthly certain funds as a system administrator.
In the summer of 2016 RUSADA discovered that the system is open to entry from some unidentified people - it was back in July 2016.
And certainly this information is not new for our foreign colleagues, "the minister said.. He also commented on the statements of German journalist Hayo Zeppelt that the Russian national team can not be admitted to the 2018 Olympic Games in South Korea. "Who is Zeppelt? I know who Alexander Popov and Nemov are, but we pay a lot of attention to people who have nothing to do with sports. It seems to me that it is important for us to discuss the development of sport with those people who are responsible for this, "he added.. Recall, November 10, WADA said that they received an electronic file with a database on doping testing of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory for the period from January 2012 to August 2015.
These data may affect the admission of our athletes to the Games-2018, wrote the New York Times. Earlier, on November 8, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against former head of the Moscow laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, accusing him of destroying doping samples of athletes. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
