Director General of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Véronique Loginova told that the organization does not receive all the information requested from “Salavat Yulaev “in case of doping of hockey players”Tolpara “
On Monday, during a press conference, Salavat general director Rinat Bashirov declared the club’s innocence in the Tolpara case. He also said that RUSADA “is a tool in someone’s hands.”
— Club representatives should cooperate more actively with our representatives, and not “care about the reputation of RUSADA” and engage in personal public relations. The personal investigation is ongoing. Unfortunately, we do not receive all the information we requested,” Loginova told the correspondent.
In April last year, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) announced that it was investigating seven positive doping tests among Tolpara players, in whose samples meldonium was found. In August, the Ufa club announced that the Investigative Committee had opened an investigation into the discovery of doping among hockey players. On February 29, 2024, DAC RUSADA found that seven Tolpar players had violated anti-doping rules and disqualified the athletes for one year, including the period of temporary suspension.
