Athletistic/ Others. The head coach of the Russian artistic gymnastics team, Valentina Rodionenko, said that the World Anti-Doping Agency has a negative attitude towards the organization of the Friendship Games in Russia.

“What does WADA have to do with organizing competitions in our country? This is another attempt to somehow influence the arrival of athletes foreigners at the Friendship Games.

I think we should not pay attention to both WADA’s statement and the IOC’s statement. We need to focus on preparing for the competition and maintaining it at the traditional high level for Russia,” Rolionenko told TASS.
