The Doha laboratory, which had its accreditation suspended
last November because it did not comply with international
standards, can immediately resume all anti-doping activities,
including the analysis of urine and blood samples.
"WADA is pleased to confirm that the Doha Laboratory's
accreditation has been reinstated approximately five months
after the laboratory was suspended," WADA director general
Olivier Niggli said in a statement.
"We are confident that the laboratory has corrected its
deficiencies; and, our Laboratory Expert Group will now continue
to monitor the laboratory's performance to ensure that it
operates to the high standards required by WADA."
