    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport ANTI-DOPING CAS DECISION IN THE ARBITRATION WADA V. RUSADA Lausanne, 17 December 2020 – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued its decision in the arbitration procedure between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the Russian Anti- Doping Agency (RUSADA), with 50 intervening parties, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). The CAS Panel unanimously determined RUSADA to be non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) in connection with its failure to procure the delivery of the authentic LIMS data (Laboratory Information Management System) and underlying analytical data of the former Moscow Laboratory to WADA. As a consequence, the Panel issued a number of orders which come into effect on 17 December 2020 for a period of two years, i.e. until 16 December 2022. The orders are reproduced in full in attachment to this media release. The Panel’s orders include, inter alia, the possibility during the two-year period for any athlete or athlete support personnel from Russia to participate in or attend the Olympic and Paralympic Games (winter or summer) and any world championships organised or sanctioned by a WADA signatory, on the condition that they are not subject to a suspension imposed by a competent authority, that the uniform worn does not contain the flag of the Russian Federation and contains the words “neutral athlete”, and that the Russian national anthem is not played or sung at any official event venue.

    ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW The 2017-2020 Quad was a pivotal period for USA Gymnastics (USAG). The organization faced numerous challenges and experienced extraordinary changes. Despite these challenges our athletes continued to demonstrate athletic excellence highlighted by gold-medal winning performances by the Women’s team and a historic World Championship for Rhythmic in which two athletes finished in the top 10 for the first time ever. The USA Gymnastics that has emerged from the crisis is a new organization led by new leadership with a new athlete-centric mission and a new set of values that prioritizes athlete safety and wellness while still supporting athletes to achieve their athletic dreams. In this High Performance Plan, USA Gymnastics asks for the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC)’s support in achieving athletic excellence on the world stage while providing the resources needed to give our elite athletes the holistic mental and physical support they need to thrive, not just on the Olympic stage, but also in life beyond gymnastics. Mission and Values The new USA Gymnastics is a mission-driven organization the puts what is best for the athlete community at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We listen to our athletes and provide platforms to embrace and amplify their voices. We consistently seek ways to help our athletes grow and thrive, both on and off the field of play. This is emphasized in USAG’s new mission statement: To build a community and culture of health, safety, and excellence, where athletes can thrive in sport and in life.
