Not in Kremlin's Competence to Address WADA Doping Claims

The Kremlin has nothing to add to statements already made by the relevant authorities on the World Anti-Doping Agency's accusations against Russia, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The World Anti-Doping Agency's accusations against Russia are not an issue for the Kremlin, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

"We know about this from the media, and we proceed, first and foremost, from the statements made by our Sport Ministry," Peskov told reporters, answering a question on WADA's claims.

He underscored that the Kremlin has nothing to add to statements already made by the relevant authorities.

"This is not an issue on the Kremlin's agenda, this needs to be referred to the Ministry of Sport, which has already voiced its stance," the spokesman said.
