      <title>Review clears Uruguay, Pakistan and Uganda challenge WADA anti-doping listings</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330401905/review-clears-uruguay-pakistan-and-uganda-challenge-wada-anti-doping-listings</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The World Anti-Doping Agency’s announced Friday that a review committee recommended the removal of Uruguay from its compliance watchlist, while Pakistan and Uganda vowed to fight accusations of code violations.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All three were put on WADA’s watchlist in September 2024 over “outstanding non-conformities” to the agency’s updated anti-doping code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the states’ legislation was also alleged to be in conflict with those rules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a statement, WADA said Uruguay’s national anti-doping organization provided information and documentation that showed “critical corrective actions had now been corrected in full.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As such, the agency’s Compliance Review Committee recommended the withdrawal of a notice of non-compliance against Uruguay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the Executive Committee agrees, there would be no sanctions applied to Uruguay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Olympic committees of Pakistan and Uganda, meanwhile, notified WADA they plan to “dispute the allegations of non-compliance against them, as well as the proposed consequences, and the conditions of reinstatement,” the global anti-doping body said.
The two cases would be referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport for consideration “in due course.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No penalties will be imposed until the court rules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are currently four signatories to WADA’s code that are non-compliant: Cameroon and Russia, the International Federation of Basque Pelota and the International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sanctions bar non-compliant nations or organizations from hosting major sporting events and from flying their flag at sporting events.&lt;/p&gt;
