Fourcade: "Ready to boycott Tyumen"; Shipulin: "just politics"; Svendsen: "If the allegations are true they should withdraw"

More sensations in today's sprint in the post-race statement held court the news given by President dell''Ibu Anders Besseberg about the 'existence of a WADA list of 31 Russian biathletes doping suspects between 2011 and 2015.

Martin Fourcade: "It is a very tricky subject. First you will need to see the evidence. Only in that case you will have to act. The Ibu must take this problem and be severe chest with whom he cheated. Not talking about one or two people, but of 31. Should it be proven the status doping, I hope that the Ibu has the courage to take the stage of the World Cup to Russia. If that does not happen, we will act us athletes. I ask everyone not to participate in competitions. But I think the Ibu will work well. If there will be some tests, then take serious measures " Anton Shipulin: "This is politics, blaming Russian athletes because Russians even if they have no guilt. It would be unfair to disqualify the entire nation, we read the McLaren relationship and there is no evidence enough. It would also be unfair to remove the stage of the World Cup from Tyumen, because Russia would be deprived of a great party. " Emil Hegle Svendsen: "If this story were true, then it would be a very sad situation. Russia is a great power of the biathlon and we want you race in the World Cup. However, at the same time, you have to be tough in the fight against doping. There is no evidence, and so I will not take sides, I have a great relationship with Anton Shipulin and other Russians. But if indeed the allegations be proven, then they should all retire from the sport. If there will be the World Cup in Tyumen, we're going to Tyumen. If the stage had to be moved elsewhere it will be another story. I hope it does not happen, but then again, if everything were to be proven, then we'll be looking at something very sad " CLICK HERE TO READ THE REPORT ON THE RACE TODAY CLICK HERE FOR NEWS ABOUT THE LIST OF 31 RUSSIAN SUSPECTED OF DOPING
