The Russian national team is on the verge of disqualification from the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

The reason for this may be new information, which was handed to the International Olympic Committee by the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, reports Daily Mail.

According to him, this information is a confirmation of the state system of doping in Russia.

Rodchenkov claims that the Russian doping conspiracy was organized and financed directly by the Russian Ministry of Sport under the direction of Vitaly Mutko.

Recall, July 18, 2016 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) published a report that says that the Russian authorities systematically covered the use of doping by their athletes during the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014.

Let us note that it was Rodchenkov who issued the secrets of the doping system in Russia.
