ssociation Russian Anti-Doping Agency RUSADA is a national anti-doping organization of the Russian Federation, acting according to The International Convention against Doping Ain Sport, adopted by the General Conference of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization on October 19, 2005 and ratified by the Russian Federation on December 26, 2006, The Council of Europe Anti-Doping Convention, The World Anti-Doping Code and The All-Russian Anti-Doping Rules.

Independent National Anti-Doping Organization RUSADA was established in January 2008 by the initiative of Federal Agency on Physical Culture and Sport in compliance with The Code of The World Anti-Doping Agency (hereinafter — WADA) and The International Convention Against Doping in Sport. RUSADA was granted the independent agency status in 2017.

RUSADA main mission is to protect athletes’ fundamental right to compete in doping-free sport. RUSADA is actively participating in developing normative documents regulating the activities on fighting against doping in sport in the territory of the Russian Federation. RUSADA uses three fundamentally different approaches for achieving this goal.

First approach is independent case manage- Third approach is, on one hand, providing ment in strict compliance with the standards comprehensive anti-doping support to clean and anti-doping norms, based on the inter- sport and, on the other hand — ensuring and national anti-doping principles and values. guaranteeing the inevitability of punishment of those athletes, coaches, doctors, and other Second approach is preventing use of doping athlete staff who commit anti-doping rules in sport. RUSADA’s objective is to inform the violations. This work includes planning and public and sports community about the key conducting testing, investigating potential provisions of the anti-doping rules, to form anti-doping rules violations, results manage- the culture of zero tolerance to doping, and ment and conducting hearings on violations, to implement and maintain value-based short- ensuring athletes’ right for fair trial of the term, medium-term and long-term educational revealed cases of anti-doping rules violations. programs.

RusAF was predictably not restored, and our athletes continue to participate without the Russian flag because of the real RusAF condition, which is due to the massive campaign with Appendix 1 the use of state resources, is carefully hushed up by all real decision-makers in sports. Everything will take its place, everyone will be given an answer, just give some time, a significant part of which sports authorities have already lost, having lost the ability to overcome crises with dignity. An open letter from the Russian The question is not RusAF doping crisis, the question is not only in the WADA requirements to Anti-Doping Agency «RUSADA» Director General Russia. Doping crises periodically happen around the world. The main question is how do we get out of these crises, what approaches do we use? On the current situation around Russian sports, caused by WADA requirements for the exe- cution of the WADA Executive Committee decisions on the quality of the Moscow laboratory We need to change the way we deal with problems. We must not only wait for changes, but also electronic database dated… to be able to do everything for their implementation. Stop being surprised by the predictable 30.09.2019 events, by reasonable requirements on the transferred defective electronic bases, by not resto- ried RusAF in its current state, by sunrise and sunset. I, Yuriy Alexandrovich Ganus, Director General of the new Russian Anti-Doping Agency «RUSA- DA» (further — new RUSADA), fulfilling my professional duty and the duty of the citizen of the And, when we try to oppose, it is important to remember that the actions of our officials and Russian Federation in relation to the situation, the consequences of which can be tragic for Rus- state bodies are mute evidence of their position. By rejecting the findings of Richard McLaren’s sian sport, I consider it necessary to express my professional opinion on the current situation reports, on the one hand, at the same time officials’ actions actually confirm correctness of the with a high possibility of the doping crisis deepening in all sports of the Russian Federation for report, among which already can be: destruction of our case on internal investigation, involv- reasons beyond new RUSADA control, beyond its competence, but with causes and consequenc- ing professional experts, in the main Investigation Department of the Ministry of internal Af- es relevant to the jurisdiction of the new RUSADA. fairs in Moscow, launching on us the Supervisory mechanism of the Prosecutor’s office for legal cooperation with the AIU, one of the founders (ROC) tries to exert a dominant influence on us, After reading the documents sent by WADA to the Minister of sports P.

Today, the sports organization of Russia is no longer on the edge of the abyss, we are flying into the abyss, the depth of which is difficult to predict. The sports and anti-doping world is shocked by the approaches and methods Russia use to recover from crisis.

It is thanks to this that the new RUSADA actively restores trust not only in the country, but also in the world. We have done everything to ensure sustainable growth of clean sport protection in Can’t we win fair? Ask a question to our living sport legends. They will give everyone a clear and Russia to restore hope for the crisis recovery, despite the confrontation we face. hard answer. Who makes of a great sporting power a rogue nation that cannot be trusted in sport. After all, elite sport is an international sport and anti-doping activities are an integral part of it. We have achieved outstanding results in target testing of athletes — 65% of total RUSADA testing We have enough worthy leaders in the country who are in power, who relate to the authorities and volume, with annual growth of testing volume (2017–6196 samples, 2018–9502 samples, 2019 are involved in the development of sports. At the same time, having no relation to making crucial plan — 11000). The amount of target testing has never before exceeded 10%. Given that this decisions for the entire sport, and thus not having a meaningful influence on the development of figure is comparable to the volume of out-of-competition testing, it means that almost with the sports they become hostages of the situation, investing their lives, energy, resources in the sport. entire volume of out-of-competition testing we work focused on each tested athlete. Therefore, And achieving success in their sports organizations, sports, clubs, leagues, they depend on that policy it is not surprising that 4 months before the end of 2019 the volume of identified whereabouts of resolving problems and getting out of doping crisis, which once again demonstrates its failure. violations is comparable to the figures of the last year, and the volume of the anti-doping rule violations is already beginning to significantly exceed (162–01.09.19 against 147 for the entire It is enough to evaluate the current state by the actions, decisions and words of those who has 2018).

Think about it, this is all happening in front of parents and children who only start their way in sports. And it is a big question today whether they choose this path. So, the Institute of national anti-doping organizations (iNADO), in its statement on 24.09.19 by words of Graeme Steel noted that “ RUSADA has, since its reformation (2017) following the Immediately I’ll make a remark, I possess sufficient information to speak about severity and the corrupt activities of previous officials, proven to be an eager and valued participant in interna- scale of the consequences.

But the paradox is that everything is done on the con- trary and obviously tightens the period of our sport being in crisis. Appendix 3 To all who follow closely the course of events, the circle of those behind all this bacchanalia, who benefits from the unfolding campaign of lies, is obvious. And realizing this, it is obvious that the crisis overcome will be delayed if the approaches and persons following them are not changed.
