	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2016 answer text <p>UK Anti-Doping has not been asked to provide 30 days’ notice by Russian authorities. UK Anti-Doping is not involved in the contractual agreement between the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) and sample collection agencies. This would be a matter for RUSADA and the World Anti-Doping Agency. While UK Anti-Doping has encountered challenges due to customs delays, it does not discuss details of its testing programmes as doing so might undermine what it is trying to achieve and the processes involved.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 23/06/2016 13:53:43 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
