“If we talk about sanctions, the executive committee will make a decision on December 9. The recommendations of an independent body are very harsh and sharp regarding Russia. Athletes who prove that they are not connected with this doping history will be able to participate in the competition, ”the words of Banka RMF quoted.

On November 25, the WADA Compliance Committee recommended that the executive committee remove Russia from international competitions for four years, as well as ban it from hosting international tournaments. In addition, the participation of Russian athletes in competitions only in neutral status was recommended.

This is due to the identification of intentional changes in the data of the Moscow laboratory, the transfer of which in its original form was one of the key points for restoring RUSADA compliance status with the World Anti-Doping Code.

The WADA Executive Committee meeting on this issue will be held on December 9.

Earlier it was reported that Dmitry Peskov called for a sober assessment of the situation with possible WADA sanctions.
