MOSCOW, 17 Sep. The wife of American basketball player Brittney Griner, who is in prison in Russia for drug smuggling, met with US President Joe Biden, CNN reports. In February, Griner, who arrived on a flight from New York, was detained at Sheremetyevo Airport. During the inspection, the Americans found «vapes» with a liquid with a specific smell in their hand luggage — the examination later determined that it was hash oil. In early August, the Khimki Court of the Moscow Region sentenced Greiner to nine years in prison with a fine of one million rubles. “This was not a meeting where the president would tell me good news,” Cherell Griner said. “But she allowed me to gain confidence that what actions he is doing right now for the exchange. «Greiner is one of the most titled basketball players in the world. She was a two-time Olympian and a two-time world champion with Team USA and the 2014 WNBA Champion with Phoenix. The center is included in the official list of the 25 best players in the women's NBA. The basketball player has been playing for the Yekaterinburg UMMC since 2015.
