Russian anti-doping agency says will continue work even if violating WADA rules

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) said on Saturday it would continue to operate even if it was found to be breaking the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). "In the event that a decision is made about non-compliance, RUSADA has the right and obligation to continue its activities and take all necessary measures to comply with the WADA requirements and recommendations," the agency said in a statement. WADA is due to make a final decision on the matter at a meeting of its founders' council in Colorado Springs on Nov. 18. (Reporting by Jack Stubbs; editing by John Stonestreet)
