WADA Chief Confirms Executive Committee Voted to Reinstate RUSADA

Most members of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee voted for the reinstatement of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), WADA President Craig Reedie said on Thursday.

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2018) Most members of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee voted for the reinstatement of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), WADA President Craig Reedie said on Thursday.

Earlier in the day, the source told Sputnik that the majority of the WADA Executive Committee members had backed the reinstatement of the RUSADA.

"Today, the great majority of WADA's ExCo decided to reinstate RUSADA as compliant with the Code subject to strict conditions, upon recommendation by the Agency's independent CRC and in accordance with an agreed process," Reedie said, as quoted by the agency's Twitter account.

The WADA chief noted that Executive Committee would reinstate RUSADA's non-compliance if it failed to meet "a clear timeline by which WADA must be given access to the former Moscow laboratory data and samples."
