MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin on Tuesday dismissed allegations from the World Anti-Doping Agency that Russian athletes were guilty of using banned performance-enhancing substances on a large-scale, saying the assertions were groundless.
“Until some evidence is presented … it is difficult to accept these accusations, they are quite groundless,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
