The laboratory that will be responsible for drug testing the athletes at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was reportedly reinstated on Wednesday, per Stephen Wade of the Associated Press.
Wade noted the World Anti-Doping Agency released a statement that said the lab “has successfully complied with the ISL's requirements for reinstatement and no further suspension is required,” via Wade.
The same laboratory was previously “shuttered” because of “nonconformity with International Standard for Laboratories,” via Wade.
Had the lab remained closed, Wade reported the International Olympic Committee and local organizers would have needed to send samples abroad to be tested.
