WADA Launches Independent Review into Handling of Chinese Swimming Doping Case
ai generated text
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has faced criticism over its handling of a doping case involving 23 Chinese swimmers, which resulted in them escaping sanction before the Tokyo Olympics. In response, WADA has commissioned an independent review led by Swiss prosecutor Eric Cottier, who will begin his work soon. Meanwhile, senior sources have revealed that several leading international swimmers are considering a multimillion-pound lawsuit against WADA over its handling of the case. WADA president Witold Banka has defended the agency's investigation, stating that its integrity and reputation is under attack.
The world's athletes deserve a truly independent review commission with a wide scope of review that is constituted with an independent athlete representative and impartial respected jurists with anti-doping experience appointed by government consensus.
