The investigation found a possible connection between the FSB unit, known for its operations with poisonous substances, and the state doping program.

We are talking about members of the Second Service, who, according to sources, could participate both in operations against opposition figures and in providing doping to athletes.

Dmitry Kovalev, an employee who acted as an expert of an anti-doping agency, is called a key figure. At the same time, it is claimed that he is an FSB officer and could participate in the coordination of actions related to the replacement of samples and concealment of test results.

It is reported that the production of substances was carried out on the basis of the Signal center, where both toxic compounds and drugs to improve the results of athletes were developed. It is indicated that the same specialists could participate in the projects, using the same infrastructure and equipment.

After the leak of data on doping and the flight of one of the key informants, the program was moved to a new platform with expanded funding. At the same time, special services officers, introduced into sports structures, allegedly provided logistics and cover for schemes.

The investigation also mentions the links between the program participants and the management of sports organizations, which could contribute to the long-term concealment of violations and manipulation of the test results.
