“Due to the geopolitical situation, WADA cannot evaluate the work of RUSADA and come to the Russian Federation. I think they work well regarding technical issues and anti-doping controls. Deprivation of the status of RUSADA is rather political in nature.

However, I am not sure that they are completely independent from the state. Especially considering the geopolitical situation,” Banka said in the video of pranksters Vovan and Lexus.
