The head of Russia's anti-doping body on Tuesday was downcast about the prospects of the organisation being reinstated into the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The governing body of world athletics has said it will uphold Russia's ban from track and field events over mass doping until such a reinstatement takes place. "My forecast is negative," RUSADA director-general Yury Ganus told a press conference in Moscow regarding the chances of readmission when the WADA executive committee meets on September 20. Ganus, who was appointed RUSADA chief last year, said WADA was under "huge pressure, including political pressure". RUSADA was suspended from the world organisation in November 2015 following revelations of a vast doping scandal involving Moscow's main drug-testing laboratory.
