MOSCOW - Russia’s anti-doping agency RUSADA said on Thursday it will appeal sanctions barring the country’s athletes from competing under its flag at top international sporting events within 10 to 15 days, the TASS news agency reported.
The World Anti-Doping Agency earlier in December banned the country’s colors and anthem from events, including the Olympics, for four years as punishment for having provided it with doctored laboratory data.The country’s top officials had branded the sanctions unfair, saying it was part of broader attempts by the West to punish Russia, and had pledged to appeal.
Yuri Ganus, the head of RUSADA who is not a member of the supervisory board, has said he does not see any chance of winning an appeal.U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart accused Russia of wasting “precious and limited resources in an effort to weasel out of the consequences”. Russia, which has traditionally been a powerhouse in many sports, has been embroiled in doping scandals since a 2015 WADA report found evidence of mass doping in Russian athletics.
