FIFA President Gianni Infantino says any ''necessary actions and sanctions'' will be taken after investigators alleged that Russian soccer players had suspicious drug-test samples covered up. Emails released by the World Anti-Doping Agency showed there were five suspicious samples in the Russian men's under-17 and under-21 national teams in 2013 and 2014. Then-sports minister Vitaly Mutko, who sits on FIFA's ruling council, has also been accused of covering up a positive result in the Russian league.
