According to the press service of RUSADA, this decision was made in the interests of active athletes and Russian sports in general.

It is noted that at the same time RUSADA does not agree with the conclusions of the CAS in relation to the manipulations with data approved by WADA, and also regrets that the agency was found to be inconsistent with the norms of the WADA code, despite the fact that it did not commit any violations, which was directly recognized by WADA.

According to the CAS decision on the dispute between WADA and RUSADA, the Russian national teams will compete at the World Championships and the Olympic Games under a neutral flag for two years, but at the same time they will be able to put national colors on equipment and indicate the name of the country on it.

Earlier it was reported that "Katyusha" could replace the Russian anthem at the World Championships and the Olympics.
