This was announced by the head of the IOC, Thomas Bach, whose words are conveyed by TASS.
He noted that the commission was informed about the position of the IOC Executive Committee on this issue, but there was no further discussion of this topic.
On December 9, 2019, the WADA Executive Committee recognized RUSADA as non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and suspended Russia from international competitions for four years, and also forbade it from holding 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 conditions for restoring RUSADA compliance status.
On December 19, the RUSADA Supervisory Board decided to disagree with the WADA sanctions, which was approved on December 24 by the general meeting of the organization’s members and will entail proceedings in the CAS.
Earlier it was reported that WADA intends to appeal to CAS in the RUSADA case before the end of the week.
