"In line with the WADA Executive Committee’s ruling, the Russian side handed over all of the required samples. WADA experts were granted full access to the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory to retrieve the data ," TASS cited Kolobkov as saying.
"We are fulfilling all obligations, which we were capable of fulfilling. This year we have been in such a tight cooperation with WADA that we had never been before," the minister added.
