"Rostov FC" will not lose medals. But it can lose three points.

Yesterday, just 11 players "Rostov FC" was tested for meldonium. Today we tried to figure out why it happened. And what that means.

Mutko: Meldonium in "Rostov" - fictional things

Yesterday the "Rostov FC" made a cool "comeback" in Khimki, making 0: 1 with "Dynamo" to 3: 1. Berdyev's team once again delighted and play, and character. It would seem, for the "Rostov FC" a cloudless and positive day. But it was not. Overexhausted players insistently invited to doping control. Eleven players at once. It's clear that no one in the team was not happy.

And the public was very surprised.

Of course, the players, "Rostov FC" immediately began to tell that they can find no trace of dope. Best of all the club's position expressed Timofei Kalachev: "I have not got time for doping control. And in the Russian league and the national football team. But most - three people, usually two. And then 11 ... amazing! What does it mean? No answer. This is a test or distrust? It is necessary to understand.

Well, we would pass a doping test! Control will reveal no problem. No one uses no pills or illegal drugs in our team. Let check 11 ... We have nothing to fear. On the contrary, if a drug test does not reveal, we are clean in front of everyone. "

Christian Noboa responded emotionally. And it is understandable: "This is unreal! We, all 11 players, sit and wait for the doping control. It never has been. Always called only two people. And then 11 ... How so? Well, let's wait. "

Dmitry Poloz quite reasonably remarked: "Somehow, in the last year, when we were fighting for survival, none of the representatives of FIFA inspections did not come to us. And in general, not a question of - let them come to us with checks at least after every game. The main thing is that we won. "

Coach Vitaly Kafanov affected to the financial side of the issue. Even if we wanted to buy meldonium, we could not. "Yes, we have no money for even basic medicines! What to say about Meldonium (Mildronate). I do not believe that the guys used illegal drugs ".

Of course, the word “Meldonium” quickly appeared in news articles. Well, where without Mildronats in modern Russia. The first to speak the same Kalachev: "Do you think, digging under the" growth "? Let's see, the main thing that did not find any meldonium or that there are now searching for? I think everything will be fine. We play so well only on a normal diet. "

The saddest thing is that this topic of Mildronate is not over. Because fears are confirmed – they are really looking for Meldonium. This is not speculation, but the official FIFA position. Here is a quote the head of the medical department, Jiri Dvorak: "It was an unannounced drug test, which I initiated on the basis of rumors that the players of "Rostov FC" take Meldonium.

FIFA Team of specialists from different countries came to the stadium before the match, with all the necessary documents. I have to give a big compliment to the service of the security and management of FC "Rostov" - they have a full understanding to the visit of the FIFA officers".

On this statement, it has been needed a serious answer. No representatives of the "Rostov FC" and leadership of Russian football. That is Vitaly Mutko: "Meldonium in "Rostov"- it's absolutely far-fetched things. Russia is preparing for the World Cup, and the International Federation of Football begins to take control of football in Russia and in terms of doping control. Thus, the Russian team was subjected to doping controls in France. I understand it, the schedule control leaders of the Russian Championship has been made. "

This, of course, a very "realistic" version - check "on schedule" 11 players of the team. Amazing schedule, I must say.

Andreev: "The history of doping in the" Rostov FC"- is the intrigue of CSKA or Zenith.”

However, a word from the professionals. The former head of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency Nikolai Durmanov focuses on the 2018 World Cup in our country.

"Most likely, in the samples of the players," Rostov FC " one will find no Meldonium, because football - it's still fairly prosperous sport. Unusually in this story is that the entire team checked. This is due to the World Cup - 2018. Some people now have to trample on football, something to discover - is part of far-designed program. In football, the sample is usually taken from two people.

I doubt that in "Rostov FC" will find doping. But if the team comes across a hypothetical, in such cases, the following guidelines apply: if a drug is found in one person, the results do not match will be void and the team is not penalized. But on the next test will take samples not two players, but four. At least it was until recently, but maybe the rules have changed. And if they catch more than two people, the proceedings are sometimes the result is annulled, and the team sanctions. But depending on what kind of doping which circumstances. In some cases, even for one person and sanctions may be applied to the club.

By the way, there are conspiracy theorists. For example, coach Sergei Andreev, who knows very well what it is like - to work in Rostov.

"The whole story Doping in Rostov - this is not the machinations of FIFA. For me there is no doubt that this is the work of some of the other two clubs which claim the championship. Crept in doubt - as if not both. Previously there was no such precedent. On doping test taken one or two players, but to 11 ... And it happens when "Rostov" is fighting for the gold medal. Clearly, this is going to feed those in power. Can the players, "Rostov" take Mildronate? I do not know about that.

The fact that "Rostov" in recent games will take six points, no doubt. But if CSKA pick up - the question. "Zenith" even gaining. Even under the condition that the St. Petersburg group gain the maximum points at 100 per cent result, "growth", they still do not become champions.

I do not be surprised if someone will test positive for Meldonium. And not because the players have taken illegal drugs, but because everything can pour. After all, people come from FIFA. People who stirred up the hive of the very power structures. And then think out already. But times have already begun, they will go to the end. "

It remains to understand one thing - if you suddenly doping and the truth will find that it is waiting for "Rostov"? The FIFA Anti-Doping Regulations reads as follows: If more than two members of the team have been convicted of violating anti-doping rules, the committee should impose appropriate sanctions on the club in addition to the sanctions imposed on individual players. Simply put, the result of the

match, which was held after the doping test, the FIFA decision be annulled. That is, the "Rostov", in theory, could void the three points for a win in the game with the "Dynamo". But not all the points earned in the Premier League.

Accordingly, "Rostov" takes a high place in the table anyway. But the fight for the gold and silver, even it can complicate seriously. However, hard to believe that someone in the team took really dope. Especially - meldonium.
