The president of the US Anti-Doping Agency Travis Taygert called on once again to check the players of the Russian national team for banned drugs.

Tigert is dissatisfied with the actions of FIFA, which hides testing of players of the Russian team after wins on Mundiale against Saudi Arabia (5: 0) and Egypt (3: 1).

It is reported by The Telegraph.

"Extraordinary ledges require additional tests. In my country there are gold standards that guarantee that you not only can hear from me that I am clean, but also can believe me that I am clean. Unfortunately, there are countries, obviously Russia, where it is not so.

The sports officials and the leaders of the country should be ashamed that they did not give a chance to their players at the World Cup when such questions arise, and they appear, say: "Listen, we adhere to the highest standards, and we adhere to the highest standards".

Testing statistics are not what they should be. We do not see the names of people who are being tested, "said Tigert.

Recall that the world championship will last until July 15.

Recall that 9 countries, including Ukraine, Australia, Finland, Japan, Denmark, Iceland, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, declared a diplomatic boycott of the World Championship in Russia. The reasons for this were the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine and Syria, the poisoning of the Russian ex-intelligence agent Sergey Skripal in Britain, the starvation of Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsov, and the systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the release of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

2015 Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-regime colony. The actions in support of the director were held all over the world, in particular in Russia.
