The World Anti-Doping Agency is \u201cextremely concerned\u201d about the dismissal of the outspoken leader.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>The Associated Press<\/em>, Ganus was fired after alleged &#8220;financial irregularities&#8221; came to light and his agency\u2019s board recommended that the Russian Olympic Committee and Russian Paralympic Committee consider his dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>Ganus has been outspoken about Russia&#8217;s history of anti-doping reforms, criticizing several of the nation&#8217;s top sports authorities.

It is a critical element of the World Anti-Doping Code that National Anti-Doping Organizations, such as RUSADA, remain safe from interference in their operational decisions and activities in order to conduct their work independently and effectively. This is why the CRC, when it issued its recommendation to declare RUSADA non-compliant with the Code that was unanimously endorsed by the Agency\u2019s Executive Committee on 9 December 2019, made it a condition of RUSADA\u2019s reinstatement that WADA remains satisfied that RUSADA\u2019s independence is being respected and there is no improper outside interference with its operations.
