"After the report of the independent commission, which exposed significant violations in the work of RUSADA, WADA asked for explanations from the Russian anti-doping service. RUSADA did this a few days ago, but they, evidently, didn't satisfy the world anti-doping organisation," TASS cited the adviser, Natalia Zhelanova, as saying.

Zhelanova also said that a final decision on the matter would be taken by a meeting of WADA's founders' council in Colorado Springs on Nov. 18, TASS reported.
