The DPRK's anti-doping committee has been removed from the list of nations deemed non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced Friday.

The move came after a WADA executive committee vote following a recommendation from WADA's compliance review committee.

The DPRK had been given four months by WADA last September to correct issues related to its testing program.

At the expiration of these four months, the DPRK was asserted as being non-compliant on January 21, 2019.

"After the DPRK Anti-Doping Committee did not challenge the assertion of non-compliance within 21 days, its non-compliance became effective on February 13, 2019," according to the statement.

Since then, DPRK's anti-doping officials have started corrective measures to address the problems, WADA said.
