Moscow: Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko, a key figure in the country's doping scandal, has said athletes' sexual relations can cause distortions in test results.
Mutko, who was promoted from sports minister to deputy prime minister despite the international sports controversy, said "male DNA" lingers in female athletes for days after having sex. In comments reported by Sport-Express, Mutko said Russians are unfairly punished and defend women athletes who had failed tests. "One (athlete) can kiss a girl who has taken a drug. A foreign (athlete) is reinstated based on this while a Russian is punished."
