Board of Founders WADA approved November 18 decision of the committee of organization of non-compliance of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSAD) Code of the WADA. The same decision was taken with regard to Argentina, Ukraine, Bolivia, Andorra and Israel.
The same fate may await and a number of other countries: Brazil, Belgium, France, Greece, Mexico and Spain, trapped in a “black list” if they do not correct the situation before March 2016.
Meanwhile, Kenya, was ordered to explain about her system of doping control, otherwise it will be among the countries that were in the center of the doping scandal.

These decisions were approved at a meeting of the Extended Council in Colorado Springs, United States.
Slips and spaces
In what was a discrepancy in the anti-doping agencies of these countries with the code of WADA?
First, they did not provide full information in response to its request. Argentina, Bolivia and Ukraine, as it turns out, have used anti-doping laboratories that do not pass the appropriate accreditation, which is a violation of the Code. Andorra and Israel used the wrong position.
In these countries will continue to take samples for doping, but they will be processed by independent laboratories, whose work will be borne by the violator. This practice will be applied as long as these countries will be implemented effective anti-doping program.
All-Russian Athletics Federation has temporarily disqualified for systematic violations associated with the use of doping by athletes.
World Anti-Doping Agency imposed sanctions after the report of its ad hoc committee Russia has been accused of doping, authorized at the national level .
The head of the Russian Anti-Doping Laboratory Gregory Rodchenko was involved in a doping scandal, resigned, and the laboratory has lost accreditation.
The report stated that more than 1,400 doping tests at the Moscow laboratory was destroyed on the eve of the inspection of the World Anti-Doping Agency, despite a written request to keep the samples.
“child’s play”
But, says report co-author Richard Pound for Russian athletics and the Russian Anti-Doping Agency will not be difficult to fulfill all the conditions of WADA, to be able to participate in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
“I do not think that for the remaining nine months, you can completely change the established practice , but you can take steps that will lead to the same result, “- he said. – I in general do not care whether you are brought to the competition, “clean” athletes for fear of being caught for doping, or thinking that it is correct. Look, Sochi, Russia built over seven years. For her, it is child’s play. “
The report Pound said that Russia – the only country where there are problems with doping and that athletics – is not the only sport where violated anti-doping rules.
Richard Pound also claims that doping is a real problem for Kenya.
However, at meetings in Colorado Springs Guide WADA said that encouraged by the information received from Kenya, where the government allocates funds to finance national anti-doping program.
Last week, Kenya approved measures for the immediate creation of an anti-doping agency. Government zayaviloYu that the new agency will carry out the processing of doping tests and to ensure their compliance with international rules.
The head of the Olympic Committee of Kenya, Kipchoge Kein praivtelstvo accused the country’s complacency and lack of attention to this issue.
