Russia Anti-Doping Agency forms new supervisory board in attempt to comply with WADA code

Firstpost  

An updated version of the Code published by the World Anti-Doping Agency will enforce a conflict of interest policy that prohibits members of national Olympic or Paralympic committees, sports federations and organisations from sitting on the board of their country’s anti-doping agencies. Moscow: Russia’s Anti-Doping Agency formed a new supervisory board on Friday, with Olympic pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva notably leaving her seat in a decision intended to comply with the new World Anti-Doping Code. The new seven-member supervisory board includes academics, lawyers, former cosmonaut Sergei Ilyukov, a former doctor for the Finnish Olympic team and a renowned anti-doping expert whose candidacy was recommended by WADA. Earlier this year, RUSADA’s supervisory board dismissed the anti-doping agency’s chief Yuri Ganus, a respected figure abroad who accused Russia’s sporting leadership of failing to fight widespread doping use.
