Russia may sue publication over doping story

The New York Times published an interview last week with the ex-head of Moscow’s anti-doping laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov who claimed that the Russian sports authorities had allegedly prepared a special doping programme for national athletes in order to win medals at the home Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014. 

“We’ll take a decision today or tomorrow after the legal service of the Sports Ministry makes a conclusion,” Mutko said.
