The World Anti-Doping Agency on Wednesday reinstated Rio de Janeiro’s testing laboratory just in time for the Olympics in August.
The lab was suspended in June, citing “non-conformity with the International Standard for Laboratories,” but did not elaborate. The lab, however, has since successfully complied with international requirements and so the suspension has been lifted.

“All parties worked diligently to resolve the identified issue so that the Laboratory could be up and running optimally for the Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games that start on 5 August,” Olivier Niggli, director general for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), said in a statement.
