The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) was disqualified in 2015 after the publication of a report by the independent WADA commission led by Richard McLaren on doping in Russian sports. Due to the scandal that broke out, many domestic athletes were not allowed to participate in the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The organization was restored to its rights only in September last year. To maintain its status, the Russian side had to fulfill two conditions: provide WADA experts with access to the database of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory, and also transfer all suspicious doping samples from this laboratory for re-checking.
On March 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian Federation has fulfilled all international requirements to improve the fight against doping.
