MOSCOW (Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Tuesday it had decided not to re-impose a suspension on Russian anti-doping agency RUSADA despite Moscow missing a deadline to hand over laboratory data.

RUSADA had asked WADA last week not to suspend it after missing the Dec. 31 deadline, which was a condition for the agency to hold on to its accreditation.
