MOSCOW, August 7. /TASS/. Doping-control inspectors from the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) reported 23 cases of violations by national athletes regarding the ‘availability for testing’ rule in July, a spokesperson for the agency told TASS on Friday.

"A figure of 23 cases of the ‘availability for testing’ rule violations was reported for the month of July," the spokesperson said.

The total number of reported cases on violations of availability for testing since the start of 2026 now stands at 152.
