“If we do not fulfill the requirements, the consequences will be devastating for us. The position of WADA did not soften, ”said Ganus at a press conference.

According to him, the head of WADA, Craig Reedy, confirmed that the status of the Russian side will be immediately lowered if access to the Moscow anti-doping laboratory samples is not provided.

“WADA received assurances from the Russian side, and due to this, the status of RUSADA was restored,” said Ganus.

He also added that the RUSADA noticed a negative reaction in the world community to their recovery.

“We had to be ready for it, because we received confirmation of compliance without gaining access to the Moscow laboratory. These are the main claims. I would like to see the answers to them, ”concluded the head of RUSADA.

Earlier, the coordinator of ARAF described how many Russian athletes are in the doping test pools.
