Evgeny Revenko, deputy chairman of the United Russia group in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, suggested that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) file a lawsuit against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). RIA News.
“I recommend that RUSADA file a lawsuit with CAS against WADA seeking reinstatement of rights. I believe that the decision will be positive. I don’t know how the lawyers will react to my offer,” Revenko said.
WADA has previously stated that the status of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency continues to be non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code. The Russian organization will have this status until it meets all conditions for restoration. Let us recall that in December 2019, the WADA Executive Committee in Lausanne unanimously accepted the recommendations of the compliance committee and removed RUSADA from its status.
Ministry of Sports of Russia in September 2023 denied Pay WADA dues.
Formerly in the State Duma statedHe said Russia should not be a donor to WADA.
