Athletes withdrew from the Izhevsk rifle en masse after the arrival of the doping officers. RUSADA will investigate

Juniors of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug and juniors of the Tyumen region en masse withdrew from participation in the all-Russian competitions “Izhevskaya rifle” at the end of December immediately after the arrival of the doping officers of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).

– RUSADA really carried out testing on the Izhevsk rifle. The fact of mass withdrawal of athletes was recorded and transferred to the investigation department. All the necessary procedures are already underway.

“Target testing is part of these procedures, but we cannot disclose all the details, firstly, in accordance with the Standard, and, secondly, in order not to interfere with the investigation,” said Maria Markova, RUSADA’s communications director.

Note that earlier four-year suspension 20-year-old Victoria Konovalova received for violation of anti-doping rules.

The Izhevsk rifle competition was held on December 24-27 in Tchaikovsky for women, and for men on December 25-28 in Izhevsk.
