World Anti-Doping Agency imposes 4-year ban on Russia 0 SHARES Share it! Russia’s hosting of world championships in Olympic sports also face being stripped after the World Anti-Doping Agency executive committee approved a full slate of recommended sanctions as punishment for state authorities tampering with a Moscow laboratory database. Still, it is unclear how the ruling will affect Russian teams taking part in world championships such as soccer’s World Cup. The decision to appeal has been stripped from RUSADA chief executive Yuri Ganus, an independent figure criticizing Russian authorities’ conduct on the doping data issue. Authority was passed to the agency’s supervisory board after an intervention led by the Russian Olympic Committee.
