Moscow, March 2: If the Russian authorities do not revisit an existing clause, fans from across the globe visiting Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup can have access to the contraband substance during the event.

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), a joint economic trade bloc of countries including Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, allows for certain banned narcotic and psychotropic drugs to be brought into the country with supporting medical documentation, reports the News Week.

The Russian-led union of nations gives foreign travelers the right to carry drugs including cannabis and cocaine with the proper prescription papers.

These regulations allowing for travelers to import and register narcotics will be applicable to millions of soccer fans descending on Russia for the World Cup between June and July.

Russia's 2018 World Cup Organising Committee released a statement confirming narcotics will be allowed in and that law enforcement officers throughout the country will be assigned with verifying fans' drug prescription authenticity.

The full list of substances allowed into Russia will allow for cocaine, codeine, morphine, amphetamines and cannabis.
