CAS registered WADA appeal in RUSADA non-compliance case
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne has registered a claim by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in a non-compliance case against the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA). This is reported on the court’s website.
The period for consideration of the case will be from 6 to 12 months. It is noted that the decisions made by the CAS commissions will be final and binding.
On September 22, WADA stated that 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.
In December 2019, the WADA Executive Committee decided to deprive Russia of the right to host the Olympic Games and World Championships, and Russian athletes of the flag and anthem for four years. The reason was the deprivation of RUSADA’s compliance status. In November 2022, WADA decided to extend the suspension of RUSADA.
