MOSCOW (Reuters) – Most members of the World Anti-Doping Agency voted to reinstate Russia’s anti-doping agency RUSADA, Russian news agency RIA reported, citing a source.

WADA earlier said that its compliance review committee had recommended the reinstatement of RUSADA, which has been suspended since 2015 over alleged state-backed doping.
