The overwhelming success of our team at the start of the World Cup kicked off questions from the head of the US anti-doping agency Travis Tigart. A sports official asked the International Football Federation to check athletes for doping, reports The Telegraph. FIFA declined to disclose information about how many doping tests the Russians had during the mundialya. The doctor of the Russian team Eduard Bezuglov said that while preparing for the tournament, the athletes surrendered more than 300 doping tests, and in no one was found banned substances. "I'm ready to argue for a bottle of low-fat milk that this is at least twice as much as the footballers of England.

They need to look at themselves and not be afraid of anything, "- cites Bezuglov RIA Novosti. He stressed that the support of the whole country and the skill of the coaching staff help Russian athletes to be in good physical shape. Earlier, the media reported that around the Russian team is starting to develop a new doping scandal. Russia won two matches at the 2018 World Cup by defeating the Saudi national team with a score of 5: 0 and Egypt with a score of 3: 1. The Egyptians have already stated that they will contest the refereeing of the last match.
