The Russian legislation may be amended further to toughen the responsibility for violations of regulations on performance enhancing drugs in sports, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday.

He added that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency should be more autonomous, reports Tass.

According to Medvedev, anti-doping organisations must be governed by people with stellar reputation.
