It was widely reported today that fans will be allowed to bring cocaine, heroin and cannabis into stadiums during the World Cup in Russia as long as they have a prescription.
In the past Russian authorities had warned fans that it would be very hard for them to get their hands on alcohol in or around stadiums and at fan zones. President Putin stepped and made sure that changed. Now it turns out fans can get away with more than just a beer. Russia is part of the Eurasian Economic Union which allows for certain drugs to be brought into Russia as long as all the correct forms are filled in.
Apart from the catch of having to have a prescription the organizers have also maintained that the security teams will be strictly monitoring fans for effects of drugs or alcohol in stadiums. So if somebody has a prescription, which on paper means they have to use the drug when needed, they still won't be able to take the drug. So why bring it anyway?
