CANCUN, Mexico (AP) - Russia has been picked to host the 2022 men’s world volleyball championships.
The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) decision was made possible by Russia’s anti-doping agency being declared compliant again in September following a three-year suspension by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
FIVB president Ary Graca says the governing body “unanimously concluded that Russia’s bid was the best one for the global development of volleyball.”
