The Russian national team risks losing many players on the eve of the home world championship, which will be held in the summer of 2018.

As reported by the Soviet Sport, FIFA once again decided to check the doping tests of the players who were taken back in 2012-13. Under suspicion were as many as 19 performers, many of whom in the future Mundiale should form the basis of the Russian team.

As you can see, only two football players have completed their careers. Others - direct candidates for getting into the national team.

It should be noted that FIFA relies on the report of the independent Anti-Doping Commission Richard McLaren, which was compiled on the basis of the compromising information of WADA informer Grigory Rodchenkov. Recall that the 2018 World Cup will be held from June 14 to July 15.

Previously, Rodchenkov has already influenced the fate of Russia - it is based on his testimony, the IOC decided to disqualify the Russian team from the 2018 Olympics, which will be held in the South Korean city of Pyeongchang from February 9 to 25.
