Olympic champion from Russia who was caught for doping complained about the Anglo-Saxons

According to glavcom.ua: Russian Olympic champion in rowing Sergey Fedorovtsev expressed criticism towards the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). His words are reported by the publication 'Glavkom'.

Fedorovtsev, who became Olympic champion in 2004, stated that from 2016 to 2020 he was banned from participating in competitions due to a violation of anti-doping rules. Moreover, the athlete missed the 2016 Olympics due to the detection of trimetazidine in his doping sample.

"I really do not understand the purpose of WADA's existence right now. Because it is not controlled by anyone, rather it is controlled by the Anglo-Saxons. It was invented by them in the first place. The purpose of its existence is lost. At first, the idea was good, but now everything is called into question, because the West portrays us as aggressors, even through sports they present us in a negative light."

Reaction to the Vilnius Marathon decision

There is also information circulating that defenders of Ukraine did not in any way support Sergey Pavlik, a well-known Russian athlete. Pavlik is known as a 10-time champion of Russia in kurash wrestling and a laureate of other famous sports competitions.

One of the deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Fetisov, posted his reaction to the organizers' decision of the Vilnius Marathon, who stated that the results of Russian and Belarusian athletes would not be recognized in case of their victory. Fetisov considers such restrictions unfair and a mockery of Russian athletes.

During the Olympic champion Sergey Fedorovtsev criticizes the work of WADA, voicing his dissatisfaction with the control of the anti-doping agency, while deputy Fetisov expresses protest against the restrictions regarding Russian athletes at the Vilnius Marathon.
