Change the composition of the executive committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) urged a sports journalist from the US Keith Olberman. He was disappointed by the decision of the organization to restore the rights of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA). "Your organization is corrupt through and through. You made a prostitute of yourself, you became the puppets of a ruthless despot. The Executive Committee must be dispersed, retire and beg your sins. The world of honest people no longer wants to know your names, "the reporter wrote in his Twitter. I must say, in the United States, the news of the restoration of the status of RUSADA was taken most painfully. In particular, the head of the US national organization USADA, Travis Tigert, publicly refused to recognize this decision.

On the full membership of Russia in WADA was announced on September 20 following the results of the meeting of the agency's executive committee. At the same time, the restoration of the status so far has a temporary character - until the end of the year Moscow must still fulfill a number of conditions. RUSADA was stripped of its status in 2015. after the report of the Richard McLaren Commission and testimony of the former head of the Russian Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov.
