“I think RUSADA will answer me that they will decide everything themselves.” Shubenkov – about the lack of doping tests in all pools

110m hurdles world champion Sergei Shubenkov told that he saw no point in sending a request to RUSADA regarding his absence from the Russian and international doping test pool.

Earlier, Shubenkov told that he was barred from the Russian and international doping test pool which could cost him a neutral status allowing him to compete in international competitions.

– It is possible to ask RUSADA to be included in the test pool, but I think they will answer me something like: “We are aware, we will decide everything ourselves.” Now I asked ARAF what to do in such a situation, but the federation, of course, also does not decide who to include in the doping test pool. It is impossible to write an application for inclusion, colleagues had a situation when a few years ago they wanted to include particularly promising young people in the test group, but received a response from RUSADA that the organization was solving these issues independently, Shubenkov told . .
