Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Russia should not assume sanctions imposed for running a state sponsored doping programme will be automatically lifted when their suspension is completed at the end of year, the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) warned on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

For the third consecutive Olympics, Russian athletes will participate as neutrals at the Beijing Winter Games, barred from competing under their own flag, and Wada president Witold Banka did not rule out the possibility of that ban continuing.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s anti-doping agency (Rusada) had been ruled non-compliant by Wada in 2015 after a report found evidence of mass doping in Russian athletics. Wada imposed sanctions on Russia in December 2019 that, among other things, barred Russia from flying its flag at major sporting events for a four-year period.<\/p>\n

After a Russia appeal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) halved the suspension which is set to end on December 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is too early to say I am happy and the chapter is closed. Let\u2019s wait, this is an ongoing process,\u201d Banka told Reuters, following pre-Games press briefing in Beijing. \u201cThe rules are clear, Rusada needs to follow the rules, the requirements and standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far they are doing it, we are in close contact with them. They strictly follow our rules but as I said this is an ongoing process, this is not the end of this chapter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the year we will need to say yes, Rusada can be compliant. It is not the end of this process, it is too early to say definitely that they are compliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Russian delegation in Beijing, which includes 212 athletes, cannot display the country\u2019s tricolour flag or any national emblems or symbols or have their national anthem played during medal presentations.<\/p>\n

Their uniforms bear the logo of the Russian Olympic Committee \u2014 three flames in the colours of the national flag with the Olympic rings below them – instead of Russia\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n

Russia has acknowledged some shortcomings in its implementation of anti-doping rules but denies running a state-sponsored doping programme, something Wada has insisted it must do to be ruled compliant.<\/p>\n

\u201cRusada needs to follow the rules,\u201d reiterated Banka. \u201cNow it is an ongoing process and too early to say there will be concrete results but the rules are very strict.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Rusada wants to be compliant it has to follow the rules from the Cas decision and of course our standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in touch with Rusada and let\u2019s wait for the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
