The World Anti-Doping Agency said it has referred the
national anti-doping agencies of Nigeria and Venezuela to the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over their alleged non-compliance.
The agencies were
sanctioned by WADA in November for failing to address “critical requirements”.
Both agencies have
disputed WADA’s allegations.
In a statement on Tuesday,
WADA said it “filed the two separate requests for arbitration with CAS on Feb.
9, 2024… The allegations of non-compliance and the consequences would not take
effect until such time as CAS makes its ruling.”
The punishments
recommended by WADA’s Compliance Review Committee state that Nigeria and
Venezuela’s flags would not be flown at competitions and the nations would be
ineligible to host major sporting events until reinstatement conditions were
met.
