There are no evidence of anti-doping rule violations by Russian soccer players who make the part of the extended team at the world championship. International Football Association FIFA came to this  conclusion during its investigation, TASS reports. 

The investigation was started after the WADA's independent McLaren Investigation was published. The case was opened and closed. WADA has agreed with FIFA to close the case. 

As the Russkiy Mir Foundation has reported earlier, the second part of the report by Richard McLaren contained statements that around a thousand of our sportsmen took part in substitution of doping tests during the Olympics in Sochi. 

Let us remember that Ex-President of WADA Richard Pound claimed a year ago that it's possible that some countries would turn off Russia's invitation to participate in 2018 FIFA World Cup.
