The World Swimming Coaches Association reacted Friday to the reinstatement of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency<\/a> that was announced by WADA on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The news has hit the swimming community hard with many people reacting negatively<\/a> to the news. The International Paralympic Committee released a statement<\/a>, expressing hope that “the anti-doping system now in place in Russia is very different from the corrupted system that existed and polluted international sport.”<\/p>\n

The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) was reinstated on Thursday after being suspended for three years. The World Anti-Doping Agency’s Executive Committee decided to reinstate RUSADA under strict conditions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Russia must ensure the data of the former Moscow Laboratory is handed over to WADA by no later than December 31, 2018.<\/li>\n
  2. WADA has also demanded that they be given the chance to re-analyze \u201cany samples as required by WADA\u201d no later than June 30, 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to these strict requirements, RUSADA must undergo a successful inspection carried out within four months to ensure RUSADA continues to meet compliance standards.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work ahead. There are conditions\u2026in order to definitively be reinstated we need to meet these conditions. So it\u2019s a conditional reinstatement,\u201d\u00a0Yuri Ganus<\/strong>, head of RUSADA told\u00a0Reuters<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    WSCA’s Full Statement:<\/h3>\n

    The Board of Directors of the World Swimming Coaches Association expresses our profound disappointment and disgust at WADA\u2019s reinstatement of Russia. We are completely in support of the position and statements of the Honorable Linda Helleland<\/strong> and USADA CEO Travis Tygart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    It seems that WADA did not learn any lessons from the world financial collapse of 2007-2011. In that situation, the United States had banks that were \u201ctoo big to fail.\u201d Those \u201ctoo big to fail\u201d banks crashed the world economy. Today WADA told us that they have \u201ctoo big to fail\u201d nations. That will crash world sport.<\/p>\n

    WADA needs to go the way of Lehman Brothers. Just as Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, today WADA has demonstrated both moral and leadership bankruptcy. Lehman Brothers, a once-respected institution, is no more. The same should be true for WADA. It is bankrupt and should no longer be propped up by the governments of the world.<\/p>\n

    Today\u2019s decision could either be viewed as the end of clean sport or the beginning. If we allow WADA to fade into moral bankruptcy and urge Minister Helleland and Mr. Tygart to start over with a real, credible, new anti-doping agency, this could be a fresh beginning for clean sport.<\/p>\n

    Leaving it to WADA to re-test Russian samples sometime by June 30 (in a country where accidents, power failures and heart attacks happen with some frequency) strains all credibility and is a dagger to the heart of all clean athletes.<\/p>\n

    Mr. Reedie has killed WADA\u2019s credibility. Let it die. Today should mark the beginning of a new, untainted effort in support of the world\u2019s clean athletes.<\/p>\n
