Known exporter of doping in Russian sports Richard McLaren showed interest in national football. In an interview with the German ARD, the head of the independent commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) called suspicious 155 doping tests of Russian players. According to him, a large-scale system for concealing the use of banned substances by players can act in Russian football.
McLaren said that analyzes of confiscated 155 "suspicious" samples are expected from day to day. WADA reported seizure of samples in FIFA. According to a fighter against doping, he has no doubt that the players also used a certain bank with "clean" urine to conceal illegal substances.
The German edition reports on the doping in the trial of a certain player under the number 3878295, allegedly acting in 2015 in the Russian Premier League. Moreover, according to ARD, this test belongs not just to the football player of the Premier League, but to the player of the national team, writes "Gazeta. Ru ".
The journalist met with ex-defender of Moscow "Spartak" Vladislav Vashchuk, who repeatedly told the press about the situation with doping in the club in 2003. A well-known Ukrainian footballer who has his own children's school in Brovary, Kiev region, claims that during one of the doping tests of that period, tests of all Spartak players were positive, turning off Captain Egor Titov. A year later, the commander of "Spartacus" was disqualified for the use of bromantane. The test, which the players did not pass, was taken at the play-off to Euro 2004 between the national teams of Russia and Wales.
Ukrainian footballer remembers that Spartak had to take some "small tablets", reports Sportschau. De. To avoid doping scandals, players cleaned the blood in the cosmonaut training center.
The frank memories of the 42-year-old Vashchuk were published back in October 2016 on Facebook. The post was called "On Dark Times". It was about the so-called Bromantano scandal. When players come to the national team, they must pass the tests for doping before the game. Titov and Yuri Kovtun found bromantane in the analyzes, writes Vashchuk. After the discovery, urgently, almost at night, all the players of "Spartacus". Bromantan was found in the blood of all the players of the basic composition.
At the same time, as experts say, as a dope, bromantan is absolutely useless. It is very difficult to remove from the body. The whole team was cleaned for about three months with the help of droppers, blood transfusions and even hypericamera.
The other day, British media reported on the violation of anti-doping rules during the World Cup - 2014 in Brazil, a whole group of Russian players. As writes The Mail on Sunday, the use of doping suspected goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, midfielders Alexander Samedov, Denis Glushakov, striker Maxim Kanunnikov. Also under suspicion Yuri Zhirkov.
In FIFA, this information has already been refuted. As the press service of the federation "R-Sportu" reported, all analyzes of domestic performers taken before and after World Cup matches were negative.
Similar results were brought by the study of blood and urine tests of Russians during the current Confederations Cup.
The former captain of the Russian national team Roman Shirokov, who previously also had "dopeynogye" rumors, believes that a Canadian lawyer "would have turned out to be a good science fiction writer".
It is obvious that the appearance of the football list of McLaren nobody will be happy. There will not be evidence again, but the residue will remain.
