Rodnina said that WADA is not restoring RUSADA because of their not very good work
Three-time Olympic champion, State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina appreciated the statement of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on the fulfillment by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) of the conditions for recovery. Her words are quoted by Sport24.
Rodnina stated that WADA does not allow RUSADA to be rehabilitated not because of the political situation. In her opinion, this is a compilation of not the best work of RUSADA and politics. “We had problems with doping, which we could not fully figure out,” the deputy added.
Earlier on May 10, WADA stated that RUSADA does not comply with the World Anti-Doping Code. It is noted that WADA cannot verify that the Russians comply with each of the conditions for reinstatement set out by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in 2020.
In December 2019, the WADA executive committee decided to take away the right to host the Olympic Games and World Championships from Russia, and deprive Russian athletes of the flag and anthem for a period of four years. The reason was the deprivation of RUSADA of the status of compliance. In November 2022, it became known about the decision of WADA to extend the suspension of RUSADA.
