MOSCOW (Reuters) - Former Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva was confirmed on Tuesday as a member of the supervisory board of Russia's anti-doping agency RUSASA, the Russian Olympic Committee said.

The 34-year-old Isinbayeva, who retired after Russia's track and field team was banned from competing at last year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, was selected in December to join RUSADA.
