Wada refused to restore the Rusad in the rights

The World Anti-Doping Agency (Vada) refused to restore the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (Rusada) in rights to the 2018 Winter Olympics. This is stated on the Twitter of the organization.

The agency considered that the Russian side did not fulfill two criteria for restoration: it did not publicly recognize the conclusions of the investigation of Richard McLaren on the existence of the state doping system and did not open Vada's access to doping industries.

The Minister of Sports of Russia Pavel Kolobkov at the meeting promised to transfer Vada doping tests after the investigation of the UK. The President of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, in turn, noted that Russia cannot recognize the conclusions of the investigation of McLaren, writes RBC.

“Probably, the IOC decision will be made based on this, and our country will find the complete inappropriate at the OI in Korea, or admission with restrictions that is unacceptable to Russia,” commented the decision of the State Duma, Igor Lebedev.

The head of Wada Craig Reidi said that the International Olympic Committee, making a decision on the assumption of the Russian national team to the 2018 Olympics, “will want the Russada to be restored in rights,” Interfax reports.

Rusada was recognized as the non -relevant rules of the World Organization in November 2015.
