BAKU, November 15. /TASS/. A delegation from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will visit the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory on November 28, WADA President Sir Craig Reedie said at the Agency’s Foundation Board Meeting in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku.
On September 20, the WADA Executive Committee decided to reinstate the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) at a meeting in the Seychelles. RUSADA was reinstated on condition that WADA would be granted access to the Moscow laboratory, which was sealed for a federal investigation. WADA also expects Russia to provide all suspicious samples from the laboratory for retesting until June 30, 2019.
"A delegation from WADA will be in the Moscow Lab on November 28 with rather high hopes that the full technical team to complete the work will be there in days thereafter," Reedie said.
If Russia fails to fulfill WADA’s conditions, RUSADA will be once again declared non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and Russian athletes will be stripped of the right to compete at the international level.
