History

Under the Roslotto (Russian : Русское лото) sponsorship, the main shareholder was the National Sports Fund of Russia (NSF) (Russian : Национальный фонд спорта (НФС)), which was created by Minister of Sports Shamil Tarpishchev (Russian : Шамиль Тарпичев), who was a friend and tennis coach for Boris Yeltsin. His successor at the head of the NSF, Boris Fyodorov, also transliterated as Boris Fedorov (Russian : Борис Федоров), publicly alleged Tarpichev of links with the mafia, including Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov (Taiwanchik) and the Izmailovskaya OPG and, later, Alexander Litvinenko alleged Tarpichev of links with illicit activities. Under the Russian sponsor Roslotto (Russian : Рослото) from 1996 to 1997, millions of dollars allegedly were money laundered from Russia and into Italy and the European banking system using the Roslotto-ZG Mobili cycling team as a front.
