Russia to probe new dope claims
Print Edition
THE Russian track and field federation said yesterday it will investigate new doping-related allegations against Russian coaches.
A documentary shown on Sunday by German broadcaster ARD accused Russian coach Vladimir Mokhnev of continuing to train athletes while he serves an IAAF suspension and reported that another coach offered banned substances for sale.
The Russian track federation said in a statement that its investigations department would “analyze all the incidents presented in the film and investigate each case in detail”.
“We are open to serious strategic partnership with the IAAF and WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) and we will not allow individual people to cast a shadow over Russian athletics,” it said.
Mokhnev denied he was suspended from coaching yesterday in comments to Russian agency R-Sport. He also said he was not acting as a coach in undercover footage broadcast by ARD which appeared to show him directing training sessions. Instead, he said he was “consulting”.
Mokhnev’s suspension followed earlier accusations that he provided banned substances to athletes from the Russian team. He also denies those claims.
The IAAF has also said its Russia taskforce will investigate the ARD claims.
