Russian anti-doping agency RUSADA remains suspended after allegations of a state-run drugs program in sports, the world anti-doping agency WADA has said.
"Nothing has changed," WADA director general Olivier Niggli said after a meeting of its executive committee in Canada, according to Russian news agency TASS on Thursday.
WADA's main condition for the reinstatement of RUSADA is that Russia recognises the report of lawyer Richard McLaren into state-controlled doping in Russia.
Moscow has refused to do so but a written Russian reaction is currently being studied by WADA, RUSADA supervisory board member Sergei Chrytschkov said.
WADA also wants access to doping samples confiscated in Russia by the country's Federal Investigative Committee.
