Russian Athletics Federation said Hajo Zeppelta film, which was released on the German TV channel ARD, a provocation aimed at undermining Russian sport.
As a result, even a cursory viewing of the film once may reasonably doubt the veracity mounted therein materials. In the film are indications five people to the statements which can hardly be trusted, because each of them convicted of doping, and each of them has its own reasons to feel a personal dislike to other athletes, coaches, staff and VFLA RUSADA.
Russian Athletics Federation considers the airing of the film solely as a rough-planned attempt to denigrate the Russian athletics and the entire Russian sports in general.
Federation and led a fierce and uncompromising fight against doping in sport, and intends to do so in the future.
