* Note: “The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) considered that in the circumstances, maintaining the
FIM World Championship in Togliatti (Russia) was not in contradiction with the CAS decision mainly based on
the extreme circumstances of the case, in particular considering that the FIM Ice Speedway World
Championship is due to start in less than two weeks and only a few weeks passed since the issuance of the
CAS decision in the Arbitration WADA v. RUSADA. WADA’s position expressed therein is without prejudice to
WADA’s position in respect to other FIM events scheduled to be held during the Two Years Period (i.e. 2021
and 2022) in Russia.
Among the measures taken by the FIM are, the removal of the Russian national flag from the visual elements
(backdrops, race jackets, TV graphics). The Russian nationality of the riders will not be mentioned. The
Russian national anthem shall not be played during these events.
