The lawyer of the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, Jim Walden, spoke about some of the details that arose after his client's communication with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko.

He told about some machinations during the Olympics-2014, which was held in Sochi.

"I can say that this is the main topic of Rodchenkov's testimony, which was presented to the Schmid Commission on 50 pages. There are many evidences that I could bring to your attention. For example, Rodchenkov held three meetings with Mutko in Sochi-2014. I understand, Mutko considered the possibility of leaving the Sochi laboratory and after the games.

The meeting was held in a room with closed access, but there was a glazed balcony, where Gregory talked with Mutko and Yuri Nagornykh. Grigory believes that reporters could take them off. Mutko arrived in the Olympic Village. Grigory left a record, which he did for Mutko. One of them tells what can happen after a second inspection of samples taken at the Olympics.

There is one thing that most upset me and shocked me in the conversation that took place in 2013.

It was assumed that Rodchenkov should pierce the test tube with the urine of the Ukrainian athlete, to make it look dirty, and that the Russian athlete wins. My client found a reason not to do this. This will be discussed in more detail when the report of the Schmid commission is published, "quotes Walden's The Daily Mail.

Recall that due to the doping scandal, Russia was deprived of several medals on OI-2014. As a consequence, they dropped to the third place in the medal standings.
