Could they lose the World Cup too?

Pound said Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko must also have known.

"It was not possible for him to be unaware of it," Pound said.

The commission report said Mutko issued direct orders to "manipulate particular samples."

Mutko, who is also a FIFA executive committee member and leads the 2018 World Cup organizing committee, denied wrongdoing to the WADA inquiry panel, including knowledge of athletes being blackmailed and FSB intelligence agents interfering in lab work.
