RUSADA had its global accreditation suspended after reports by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) found evidence, still denied by Moscow, of state-sponsored doping.

RUSADA recently contacted other national anti-doping agencies, inviting their officers to help test athletes in Russia while their Russian counterparts are trained, Ganus said. RUSADA was eager to learn from the world's leading national anti-doping organisations (NADOs). But Joseph de Pencier, chief executive of the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations, went out of his way to welcome Ganus and his calls for cooperation.
