Russia should be banned from 2018 World Cup

Anti-doping agencies have spoken up against Russia and said they should be banned from the upcoming World Cup in 2018 except they comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code.

These demands have come after a report showed the country had run a state-sponsored doping programme affecting more than 1,000 athletes between 2011 and 2015. According to ESPNFC, US Anti-Doping Agency chief executive Travis Tygart said: "I think until Russia can show they are co-compliant [with WADA regulations], all competitions, and that would include it. [the World Cup]... should be removed."

Speaking last month, Infantino said: "We will guarantee that the World Cup in Russia will be completely safe when it comes to anti-doping matters or when it comes to doping cases."

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
