Team ROC to file complaint against Chilean reporter for Medvedev cheating questions

After his win over Fabio Fognini, Daniil Medvedev held a press conference where a Chilean reporter asked a very dicey question. He was furious at the question of the reporter who wanted to know whether Daniil feels that Russian athletes carry the stigma of cheating in sports.

He quickly fired back at the reporter saying:

“First time in my life I’m not gonna answer a question. You should be embarrassed by yourself. I think you should wire him from the Olympics, I don’t wanna see him again.”
