Mutko calls for patience

Russia

The broadcast of the third part of the investigation by the German channel ARD on doping in Russia seems to have dampened Vitaly Mutko's enthusiasm. The Russian Sports Minister admitted this to the agency Reuters: “restoring order” to Russian sport, athletics in particular, could take up to “3 or 4 years”. Vitaly Mutko also warned that he expected to see “several new cases of Russian athletes” testing positive for Meldonium in the coming weeks.
