Russia’s appeal against its four-year ban from all major sporting events has been referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). In December 2019, Russia’s Anti Doping Agency (Rusada) was declared non-compliant for manipulating laboratory data handed over to investigators in January 2019. The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had controversially reinstated Russia in 2018 after a three-year suspension for its vast state-sponsored doping scandal.
