In news unrelated to the Brooklyn Nets, team owner Mikhail Prokhorov is finding himself in the middle of some controversy as, according to the New York Times, he is backing a lawsuit against Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov.
Rodchenkov, who has been all over the media as of late, is best known for being the Russian doctor who came forward as the whistle-blower exposing the large-scale doping scandal related to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The suit, according to the Times, is related to the defamation of three Russian Olympic bi-athletes, Olga Zaytseva, Yana Romanova and Olga Vilukhina, who were “linked to the state-controlled” doping scandal.
