US Withholds Funding from World Anti-Doping Agency Amid Doping Row Over Chinese Swimmers
ai generated text
The US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is in support of the US government's decision to withhold a $3.625 million payment to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) due to a dispute over a case involving Chinese swimmers who tested positive for the banned heart drug trimetazidine (TMZ). WADA accepted an explanation from China that the athletes were victims of contamination from a hotel kitchen.
USADA fully supports this decision by the White House as the only right choice to protect athletes' rights, accountability, and fair competition.
Now is the time to get WADA right to ensure these competitions on US soil are clean, safe, and a pageantry of fair competition in which we can all have faith and confidence.
