The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) responds to a Reuters story of 7 August 2024 exposing a scheme whereby the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) allowed athletes who had doped, to compete for years, in at least one case without ever publishing or sanctioning their anti-doping rule violations, in direct contravention of the World Anti-Doping Code and USADA’s own rules.

And it just coincidentally happens that the US has been threatening WADA to withhold funding if they don’t do what the US wants (and this wasn’t the first time either, they also issued the same threats in 2019).

So weird how WADA then concludes that they “had no choice” but to turn a blind eye to US doping and stay silent about the US’s violations for “security reasons”.

    Damn, it really is all projection. I was wondering where the Chinese doping witch hunt had come from. I guess I have my answer now.
