The headline is slightly misleading because it presumes that the Russian anti-doping agency is still not in compliance with WADA and I'm not certain that is still true but given the Russian Athletics Federation is still banned by the IAAF there still could be some outstanding issues. It would also apply to places other than Russia, of course, like Kenya and Jamaica, but they haven't received as much press coverage as the Russians because the drug scandals aren't quite as large and really only apply to athletics.
