Parenthesis closed for the anti-doping laboratory in Bangkok. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced Friday August 27, via a press release, that it had approved the reinstatement of its accreditation. Thailand's National Doping Control Center can resume all anti-doping activities, including the analysis of urine and blood samples, with immediate effect. In November 2019, its accreditation was suspended for a period of six months. In question, certain non-conformities noted during an evaluation carried out by WADA after an on-site visit. The suspension was then extended twice, as the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the laboratory from carrying out the requested corrections. In April 2021, WADA carried out a new evaluation. On August 3, the agency's expert advisory group recommended that its accreditation be reinstated. It is now done.
