Margarita Pakhnotskaya is the deputy director-general of RUSADA, Russia's anti-doping agency. In 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agency suspended RUSADA (https://www.dw.com/en/wada-suspends-russian-anti-doping-agency-for-non-compliance/a-18861226) after the WADA-commissioned McLaren Report (https://www.dw.com/en/wada-report-confirms-institutional-conspiracy-in-russian-sport-doping/a-36705174) found evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russia. The suspension was lifted in September 2018. (https://www.dw.com/en/wada-reinstates-russias-anti-doping-agency/a-45577126) The conditions for RUSADA's reinstatement included handing over data stored at its laboratory in Moscow. Last month, WADA announced that it had opened compliance proceedings against RUSADA after examining the more than 2,000 samples it had received in January 2019. Should WADA declare RUSADA non-compliant, it could put increased pressure on the IOC to bar Russian athletes from the 2020 Tokyo Games. The interview was conducted by Juri Ruscheto.
