Russian Anti-Doping Agency

What Russian Anti-Doping Agency does

Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) is a non-governmental, non-commercial association established in 2008 under Federal Law №329-FZ and designated as Russia's sole national anti-doping organization in compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code. The agency conducts in-competition and out-of-competition testing, results management, investigations, and therapeutic use exemption administration for Russian athletes, and coordinates with WADA through the ADAMS system for whereabouts reporting and testing pool management.

The organization's digital footprint centers on two platforms: the main institutional website rusada.ru, which provides a drug/substance checking tool, a public disqualifications database, TUE processing, and doping-control resources; and a dedicated online education portal at course.rusada.ru launched in 2023, which hosts nine certified courses tailored to athletes aged 7-13 and 14+, coaches, parents, deaf and hard-of-hearing athletes, sports medicine specialists, non-sports-medicine doctors, and athletes in testing pools. The portal issued bilingual Russian/English certificates with QR verification and reached over 1 million users in 2025. RUSADA maintains partnerships with Berlinger for doping-control equipment and Ghent University for athlete biological passport management.

RUSADA is government-funded and provides all services free of charge to athletes, sports federations, professional leagues, sports medicine personnel, and the broader public. The organization is headquartered in Moscow at Begovaya Street 6A and is led by General Director Veronika Loginova. Following a six-year WADA non-compliance period tied to the state-sponsored doping scandal, RUSADA had its compliance status restored in 2021 and is currently preparing Russian stakeholders for the new WADA Code effective January 1, 2027.
