DISINFO: "Doping and corruption" are the new themes in America's hybrid...

SUMMARY

“Doping and corruption” are the new themes in America’s hybrid war against Russia.

RESPONSE

Repeating an already debunked myth. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was established in 1999 as an international independent agency composed and funded equally by the sport movement and governments of the world. WADA's regulations equally apply to every athlete, regardless of his or her country of origin. Vitaly Mutko, Russian sports minister has also acknowledged that doping problems existed among its athletes and apologised for the "serious mistakes" made by Russian officials, coaches and athletes (nyti.ms/1ZUMTNA), . // The US government is not responsible for the level of corruption in Russia.
