The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has opened new cases against Russian athletes due to doping.

According to Lenta, with reference to R-Sport, the organization has transferred to the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) about 15 cases that were opened following verification of data from the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory.

It is noted that now the process of re-examination is still ongoing..

In addition, it remains unknown whether these cases are related to 145 athletes whose data had previously been replaced.

WADA for four years removed Russia from the Olympic Games and the World Cup.

In addition to the ban on performances in these competitions, Russia does not have the right to submit applications for their conduct.

WADA accepted the recommendation of the organization’s committee to strip the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) of compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code. The reason for this is the concealment of athletes by the Moscow Laboratory of doping samples..

WADA previously revealed sports in which Russia violated anti-doping rules.
