Azerbaijan may be "blacklisted" by WADA over non-compliance

The National Anti-Doping Organisations (NADOs) of Azerbaijan, Brazil and Guatemala face the threat of being declared non-compliant by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in November unless pending issues are resolved, Inside the Games reports.

The threat follows a meeting of WADA’s independent Compliance Review Committee (CRC) in Montreal on September 3.

It was deemed the three NADOs in question were not currently in compliance with the 2015 WADA Code.

"Unless pending issues are resolved, the CRC will submit recommendations of declarations of non-compliance to the November Foundation Board," a WADA statement read.
