Russian lab under scrutiny
The Russian drug-testing laboratory for February’s Winter Olympics in Sochi faces suspension unless it significantly improves the reliability of its results by December 1.
The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Anti-doping Center yesterday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facility’s accreditation will be imposed.
The announcement of the possible suspension comes just three months before the start of the Sochi Games.
In its statement, WADA said the suspension will be enacted unless the center demonstrates by December 1 that it is preparing a quality management program to increase confidence in its operations, and that by April 1 of 2014 the improved program has been “drafted, finalized, implemented and embedded”.
WADA is not the responsible medical authority for the upcoming Olympics but said it “strongly suggests” the International Olympic Committee “consider appropriate action to ensure the complete integrity of all analysis” at the laboratory both in Moscow and the satellite facility at the Sochi Games.
The IOC gave the Russian facility its support, saying that it is “confident that all the necessary measures will be taken and the Sochi lab will be fully functioning during the Games”.
The Moscow lab handled drug tests for the world track and field championships in August.
