Russia has responded to all World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) questions regarding inconsistencies the agency found in data received from the Moscow anti-doping laboratory, President Vladimir Putin said in Nizhniy Novgorod on Thursday.

“Our country, our sportsmen are interested in putting all the mistakes connected with anti-doping issues to rest,” Putin said while speaking at the 8th International Sports Forum.

He also discussed Russia’s goal to engage half of its population in sports by 2024, highlighting that the creation of necessary infrastructure was critical to achieve the target.

In September, WADA said it had found discrepancies between the Moscow laboratory data that was provided in January with the previous version of the database that had earlier been given to WADA.

Providing WADA with data from its laboratory was a condition for Russian Anti-Doping Agency’s (RUSADA) reinstatement after a three-year ban following accusations of a state-run doping scheme.
