The suspension of Russia’s anti-doping agency (Rusada) has been lifted despite widespread opposition.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has ended a three-year suspension which followed a major scandal over alleged state-sponsored doping.
Wada’s president said the reinstatement was “subject to strict conditions”.
Meanwhile, a tropical wave dumped persistent rain across Barbados, ravishing the second One-Day International between West Indies and South Africa and forcing a no-result in the contest yesterday.
Sent in following a delayed start and with the match reduced to 38 overs per side, South Africa piled up a tricky total of 177 for eight, with captain Dane van Niekerk top-scoring with 52.
However, rain returned during the innings interval, forcing match officials to abandon the game at 3:45 pm before Windies Women could start their reply.
The result left Saturday’s final match as a crucial one for both sides. While the Windies will be hoping to win in order to draw the series, South Africa will be looking for victory to earn an elusive series win in the Caribbean.
