The announcement comes as a direct result of WADA&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wada-ama.org\/en\/media\/news\/2016-03\/wada-statement-on-compliance-of-watch-list-national-anti-doping-organizations\" target=\"_blank\">March 19, 2016 ruling that the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency (AEPSAD) was non-compliant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This suspension of the laboratory means that they will be prohibited from testing any WADA-related material, including urine analyses or blood samples. The suspension will go into effect immediately, however the laboratory can appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport up to 21 days after receipt of notice in pursuant to Article 13.7 of the World Anti-Doping Code.<\/p>\n<p>In Article 4.4 of the International Standard for Laboratories (ISL), WADA notes that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8230;In order for a laboratory to maintain its accreditation status, the NADO of the country of the laboratory must be Code compliant, as determined by WADA. However, following a revision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wada-ama.org\/en\/media\/news\/2016-06\/wada-publishes-new-international-standard-for-laboratories\">ISL rules<\/a> effective 2 June 2016, WADA may decide not to suspend a laboratory\u2019s accreditation in a case of non-compliance of that country\u2019s NADO if, in the year before the declaration of non-compliance, at least 60% of samples analyzed by that laboratory were provided by Anti-Doping Organizations other than the NADO of the country\u2019s laboratory.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This upcoming revision, however, does not apply to the laboratory in Madrid and they will remain suspended until the AEPSAD is declared compliant.<\/p>\n<p>Of important mention is the fact that, despite the suspension of the laboratory in Madrid, Spain&#8217;s other laboratory, Fundacio Institut Mar D&#8217;Investigacions Mediques&#8211;IMIM), located in Barcelona has maintained their accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>This newest suspension comes on the heels of labs being suspended in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/wada-suspends-beijing-labs-accreditation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Beijing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/wada-suspends-bloemfontein-laboratory-african-continents-only-anti-doping-laboratory\/\" target=\"_blank\">Africa<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/wada-revokes-license-of-moscow-antidoping-center\/\" target=\"_blank\">revocation of Moscow&#8217;s license<\/a>.

However, WADA has noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2016\/may\/04\/wada-insists-laboratory-bans-testing-rio-olympics\" target=\"_blank\">the laboratory bans will not affect testing at the Rio Games.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The full list of WADA accredited can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wada-ama.org\/en\/what-we-do\/science-medical\/laboratories\/accredited-laboratories\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, while the full WADA suspension can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wada-ama.org\/en\/media\/news\/2016-06\/wada-suspends-the-accreditation-of-the-madrid-laboratory\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced today the suspension of the Laboratorio de Control de Dopaje (Laboratory) in Madrid, Spain.
