Earlier, WADA voted, subject to certain conditions, to lift the ban on RUSADA, which was suspended in 2015 following allegations of widespread state-sponsored doping.

Ganus told Reuters by phone that RUSADA understood that its reinstatement was conditional on fulfilling WADA’s terms, but said it was a positive sign for other suspended Russian sports bodies, including the country’s athletics federation and Paralympic committee, which want to be reinstated.

“There’s a lot of work ahead,” said Ganus. “There are conditions ... in order to definitively be reinstated we need to meet these conditions. So it’s a conditional reinstatement.”
