Indonesia confident WorldSBK, MotoGP will go ahead despite WADA ruling

Indonesia is confident its upcoming WorldSBK and MotoG🌄P rounds at the new Mandalika circuit will not be affected by a recent WADA ruling of 'non-compliance'.

The World Anti-Doping Agency, familiar to MotoGP fans due to its role inౠ Andrea Iannone'sܫ four-year ban, declared that five Anti-Doping Organizations have been  non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code.

These include𝔉d the National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADO) for Indonesia and Thailand, countries that are set to host MotoGP next season.

The potential significance in motorsport terms is that the 'consequences' of&n𓃲bsp;non-complian🦩ce include:

"The Signatories’ countries may not be awarded the right to host regional, continental or world championships, or events organized by Major Event Organizations, for the entire period of non-compliance."

It is unclear what this might mean for events already under contract, but the FIM Superbike World Championship is set to debut at Mandalika on November 19-21, followed by the inaugural FIM MotoGP World Championship event on March 18-2🔥0. Thailand has longer, with its next MotoGP event scheduled for 💃October 2.

Another non-complicance sanction is that the flags of those countries 'will not be flown at regional, continental or world championships, or events... until reinstatement'. It is not clear ♊if this also refers to the use of flags in TV graphics, for example.

Indonesia's non-compliance was, "a result of non-conformities in implementing an effective testing program". Thailanℱd's verdict was due to, "the lack of full implementation of ꦓthe 2021 version of the [WADA] Code within their legal system".

They were among eight Anti-Doping Organizations sent a formal noti💧ce of non-compliance on 15 September, with 21 days to respond. While three Anti-Doping Organizations subsequently provided enough evidence to avoid non-Compliance,🌜 it was not disputed by the other five.

"We are directly coordinating with the Indonesian anti-doping agency, where our position is said to be non-compliant," Zainudin Amali, Indonesia's Minister of Youth and Sport told a press briefing attended by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:wuqian0821.com's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Indonesian edition.

The Minisꦺter expl𒁃ained that the country's anti-doping testing had been interrupted by the Covid pandemic.

“Apparently, it refers to the sending of our samples… In March 2020, Covid-19 began to spread in Indonesia. There were no sports activities, so the planned samples were not fulfilled. Ev𝓰erything stopped and this caused us not to meet the requirements ✱set by WADA."

However, he insist🌠ed: "Indonesia has not been banned so you can still do sports activities. So, please don't imagine that Indonesia cannot hold international competitions or send athletes abroa🦹d.

“This reprimand is a consequence of non-compliance, and now we are given the opportunity to clarify. Even though it is late, ✤we are trying ༒and WADA also gives time to provide a letter of clarification.”

According to WADA, 'Once a Signatory has been determined to be non-cಌompliant, the objective is to help that Signatory to achieve Reinstatement as quickly as possible, while ensuring that the corrective actions undertaken deliver enduring Code Compliance by th🗹at Signatory.'

As part of that process, both Thailand and Indonesia should have received, 'the conditions that WADA cons꧂iders the Signatory should have to satisfy in order to be Reinstated'.

The FIM and FIA ar🗹e also signatories of the WဣADA Code.
