RUSADA stated that its operations fully comply with WADA requirements
The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) responded to the statement of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) about the failure of the Russian side to fulfill the conditions for reinstatement. It is reported by TASS.
“RUSADA’s operations are carried out in full compliance with the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Code. However, some provisions of the federal law on sports do not correspond to the text of the code,” the statement said. The organization noted that RUSADA does not have the right to initiate legislation and cannot submit bills for consideration, however, the agency has already applied to the authorized bodies with a request to work on this issue.

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.
