Russia; currently being investigated for Huge Doping Ring

[////]

Russia has it's economic woes but scientifically/medically it's a modern country. I'm sure doping there is approaching US levels (where it is essentially universal).

“This was an absolutely politically motivated statement like anti-Russian sanctions,” Vladimir Uyba, the head of Russia’s Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA), told the Interfax news agency. “It has no grounds whatsoever, because those doping tests for athletes are conducted by the WADA commissioners themselves. Besides, the athlete never knows exactly when the commissioner will arrive.”

The singling out of Russia does sound highly politically motivated, they're definitely not the only cheats, but at the same time I have no doubt it's true.

Just going to enjoy this thread and see how certain posters who claim only certain type of fighters cheat spin this...I see Freedom already tried

Of course Freedom did... Obviously on of the most positively bias when it comes to Eastern European boxers

I hope it doesn't involve the boxers. I really want to see Vitaly Dunaytsev get that Olympic Gold before, hopefully, turning pro.
He's the only Russian Amateur Boxer I follow at the moment. Great talent.
They better get their act together for the 2020 Olympics though, because that Russian Boxing Class looks like it could be something special.

Uk has significantly less Ped users probably the cleanest country

People implying it doesn't involve boxing are correct in the aspect it is not know how far this goes... Hence my question. But it would be naive to believe it doesn't.

Why?

Are you implying that the US blood doping scandals from the 84 olympics also involved boxers? Sounds plausible if you do since that was the best games for US boxing in like forever.

Why am I not surprised it's Russia everything is corrupt there starting at the top from the president all the way down to the lowest ranked cops who take bribes on a regular bases so this doesn't surprise me at all.
