Doping: Wada runs over more than 200 athletes from Russia

It hails sanctions for athletes from Russia. The World Anti-Doping Agency Wada has convicted more than 200 of them of doping.

More than 200 Russian athletes have been convicted by checking doping files from the Moscow analysis laboratory. A total of 203 Russian athletes were sanctioned and 73 others indicted as a result of the so-called “Operation Lims”, Wada said. 182 cases are currently still being investigated.

Wada suspended Russia for doping

According to Wada, the sanctions were based on the data successfully recovered by the agency from the laboratory information and management system (Lims). In October 2017, a whistleblower provided Wada with copies of this data from 2012 to 2015. By comparing this data, the Wada experts used forensic investigations to determine that the data previously provided by Moscow was “neither complete nor fully authentic”.

In December 2019, Wada banned Russia for four years for manipulating doping data from the Moscow laboratory. Russia then filed a lawsuit with the Cas International Sports Court, which reduced the ban to two years. The ban expired on December 17, 2022. The Russian anti-doping agency Rusada has yet to be re-registered. Wada had announced that after the ban had expired, it would check in three stages whether the Russian agency would get its approval again.
