RUSADA Says to Review Cases WADA Submitted After Moscow Lab Materials New Check in 2020

"These cases received from WADA will go on the next year because the December meeting is already fully occupied with the cases that were opened earlier", Pakhnotskaya said.

Pakhnotskaya explained that the full attention of the RUSADA and the disciplinary committee will be given to the cases early next year as the upcoming monthly meeting with the committee has already been fully occupied by other matters.
