The Russian Ministry of Sports has announced the conditions for making a contribution to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). RIA Novosti reports this.
The Ministry of Sports stated that Russia is ready to make a full contribution to WADA by the end of 2023 if a universal funding formula is determined. It is noted that if such a formula is not formed, then payments will be made in the amount determined by the Russian side.
On November 17, it became known that Russia and Belarus had not paid their mandatory contributions to WADA in 2023. Russia’s contribution was supposed to be 1.267 million dollars, Belarus – 46 thousand dollars. Also, at the moment, WADA is left without contributions from Georgia, Iceland and Monaco.
On September 22, WADA said that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) had not met the requirements to restore its status, since the code was not integrated into national legislation. It was noted that the Russian side can appeal this within 21 days from the date of receipt of the official notification.
