“I can only say that no one wants to create a precedent like this,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with journalists. “President (Vladimir) Putin is a convinced supporter of Olympic ideals, and a convinced enemy of anything that may harm these ideas.”
“But beyond all doubt, we intend to defend the interests of our sportsmen - I mean, those sportsmen who are not associated in any way with doping use.”
