Russia refuses to recognize that anti-doping rule violations were carried out with the knowledge of sports officials and the country's leadership. Therefore, in the near future, she will not have the opportunity to host international launches. This was stated by the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Craig Reedy. At the same time, he acknowledged that Russia corrected practically all the comments put forward by the Anti-Doping Agency. "WADA is rather the actions of the Russian side to restore RUSADA," he confirmed at the symposium of the organization in Lausanne. However, according to him, there were still a couple of questions.

"We expect the Russian authorities to recognize the systematic abuse of anti-doping rule violations that were established by the McLaren and Schmid commission. We have not yet received a response from the Russian authorities for this work, "Sportbox quotes the words of an official. Ridi recalled that from April 1 new rules come into force: "Organizations that are recognized as not in compliance with the WADA code will have to follow a number of clear steps.

If they do not fulfill them, they will be subject to sanctions, the main one of which is they will not be able to hold international competitions ". Thus, Moscow has long been unable to organize the Grand Prix stages in figure skating, biathlon and other competitions. As noted by the head of WADA, the organization is very sad.

"We regret that the work on restoring correspondence has been going on for so long," he said.. RUSADA activity was suspended by WADA in 2015.
