President of Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe called for speeding up the process of bringing the Russian Federation’s legislation into line with the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
On Friday, under the chairmanship of the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin, a meeting of the government commission on the International Convention against Doping in Sport was held. Previously, it was decided to form a group of legal experts who will give a legal assessment of WADA’s requirements on the need to reform Russian legislation to bring it into line with the WADA Code.
“Every time we gather here for different reasons, I tell everyone that we have to remember that we are all in this together. Just paddle in one direction. I support the Director General of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Veronika Viktorovna Loginova, because no one is a warrior on the pitch. I don’t think we need to discuss anything. The main thing is for the Duma to speed up the process,” Vyalbe said during a roundtable at the State Duma Committee on Physical Education and Sports.
Earlier, RUSADA reported that WADA considers the inconsistency of Russian legislation with the World Anti-Doping Code to be critical, and that the deadline for correcting this situation is until January 7.
