Russian FM attempted yesterday to "protect" him by claiming he was an official member of the EM 2016 Russian sport delegation.....Paris did not "buy" the Russian FM's statements......

Probably a surprise this morning to the Russians that Paris was in fact serious about tossing someone out of France.

Will be interesting to see if Russia wants to increase their attitude and risk the WC 2018 and be tossed out of France altogether OR tone it down?????

Especially coupled with the recent massive rejection by Russian athletes (58% of 1200 with 10% being found to be doping) to do the latest round of WADA testing...which will end up in basically kicking Russia out of all international sporting events now and in the futures AND for Russia sports is all about "war".....ie "winning at all costs"......

WADA says meldonium the performance enhancement drug was in 49 out of 52 adverse tests on Russian athletes
