Скачать или смотреть Russia awaits terms of reinstatement by doping agency

(20 Sep 2018) Russia's anti-doping agency (RUSADA) is expecting a letter from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) setting out the terms that the Russian body must comply with following its reinstatement, Deputy RUSADA CEO Margarita Pakhnotskaya said on Thursday.
The World Anti-Doping Agency reinstated Russia Thursday despite a wave of protests against the move, ending the nearly three-year suspension of the country's drug-testing programme because of a state-sponsored doping scheme.
"Most of the work is still ahead of us", said RUSADA chief Yuri Ganus at a briefing in Moscow following the announcement.
WADA's decision after a vote of its 12-member executive committee at a meeting in Seychelles was immediately labelled "the greatest treachery against clean athletes in Olympic history" by the lawyer of the whistleblower who helped uncover Russia's cheating.
Asked about the criticism that WADA has faced over the decision, Ganus said it had "reasons and background" behind it.
"And one of the reasons is us and the path that we have gone through in the last 3 years." he said.  "But we have to move forward."
WADA decided to reinstate Russia after backtracking on two key conditions it had set for reinstatement: That Russia accept a report that concluded state involvement in the doping and cover-ups, and that Russia give access to evidence stored in its discredited Moscow laboratory.
