Russia's team doctor questioned whether the country's squad had faced more doping tests than the other nations competing at Euro 2016.

SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Eduard Bezuglov, Russia's team doctor:

"We have been asking this question to ourselves - whether we have been tested more than others. All national teams are under the control of UEFA and FIFA. And before the group stages of the competition the Russian national team were already visited more than three times by doping control inspectors. First they inspected 10 people at a time, then on the fourth time they just looked at four people. All this is happening at seven am, and these inspectors even broke a record once by coming at 6.30am. But we treat all this with understanding. We don't know whether this is the same for the other teams, and maybe they don't get inspected that often; however, there is a hope that everybody is treated equally. "
