The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) sent a notice to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) of its desire to appeal the decision on deprivation of eligibility status in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This was reported by RIA News With reference to the press service of RUSADA.
“WADA’s critical comment is the inconsistency of the text of some paragraphs of the federal sports law with the provisions of the World Anti-Doping Code. “RUSADA’s operational activities are carried out in accordance with international standards,” he said.
On September 22, 2023, WADA announced that RUSADA continued to fail to comply with the World Anti-Doping Code. Additionally, WADA punished 218 Russian athletes based on data obtained from the Moscow laboratory.
WADA has previously stated that RUSADA’s status 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.
Previously WADA plans to sue From RUSADA.
