The Russian anti-doping agency announced on Thursday its intention to challenge the sanctions imposed on Russia, banned from the international sports community for four years due to falsification of anti-doping data.

Formally, the Rusada supervisory board has issued a recommendation to contest these measures, which will be presented to its general assembly by the end of the month, then transmitted to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) so that the latter can seize the Sports arbitral tribunal of the matter.
