Russian Sports:

Getting Serious

MOSCOW TOP NEWS

Russian Prime Minister 

Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday 

that a state doping control system 

should be established for Russian 

sports and tougher penalties 

may be introduced for those 

who break the rules.

“Every provision should be 

made and a state [doping] 

control mechanism established, 

and we should act vigorously. 

If necessary, 

let’s also discuss moves 

to toughen penalties,” 

Putin said at a meeting of the 

presidential council on sports 

development and arrangements 

for the 2014 Winter Olympics 

in Sochi.

Two weeks ago three Russian 

biathlon racers tested positive 

for the Russian version of the 

banned substance Erythropoietin 

(EPO) at the Biathlon World 

Championship in South Korea’s 

Pyeongchang. 

The athletes were all disqualified 

and forced to leave the country.
