FIFA expects evidence of doping from Russian footballers

The World Football Federation (FIFA) expects next week new evidence of doping in Russian football. Players from the national team that took part in the Brazilian World Cup in 2014 are part of the 34 potential test pieces of the commission headed by Richard McLaren. McLaren is addressing doping problems by Russian athletes and violating anti-doping rules. FIFA has announced that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has requested a meeting today to `inform several international federations about new investigations. `In the last month, UAAD announced that Russia had a database of `all tests between January 2012 and August 2015. ` This could reveal details of the thousands of samples destroyed in the 13-and December 14, 2014, after the scale of doping use in Russia was revealed in a German TV documentary. FIFA commits itself to `continuing to work closely with UAA and to explore all possible ways` to detect possible violations and offenders.
