Daniil Medvedev furious with reporter who asked about Russia's doping: 'You should be embarrassed'

Daniil Medvedev doesn't want to answer questions about a doping scandal that has kept Russia out of the Tokyo Olympics. Medvedev exploded at a reporter who asked about the scandal Wednesday, telling the reporter, "You should be embarrassed of yourself."

The reporter asked Medvedev — who is Russian — if Russian athletes at the Olympics carry a "stigma of cheaters" due to the International Olympic Committee banning the country from the games.

Medvedev asked the reporter to repeat the question before saying he wasn't going to answer it. When the reporter attempted to clarify, Medvedev grew more frustrated, according to Eurosport.
