Background

Vladmir Putin and a 2012 Russian CP football Paralympian.

Russian Cerebral Palsy Football Federation (RCPFF) manages the national team.[1] During the 2000s, the team was one of the top four most dominant teams in the world alongside Brazil, Ukraine and Iran.[2] In 2011 and 2012, the team was coached by Baramidze Avtandil.[3][4] Russia was active internationally by 2016, and had national championships to support national team player development.[5] National team development is supported by an International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) recognized national championship. Recognized years for the national IFCPF recognized competition include 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.[6]

In 2016, after getting an endorsement by the World AntiDoping Agency (WADA), the IFCPF Anti-Doping Code was formally amended to allow for out of competition testing. This was done through a WADA approved Whereabouts Programme managed through ADAMS. Drawing from players in a Registered Testing Pool, players from this country were included ahead of the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.[7]
