Anti-doping watchdog Sport Integrity Australia has supported the US Anti-Doping Agency's (USADA) call for an independent review of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) decision to declare 23 Chinese swimmers "not at fault".
David Sharp, CEO of the Australian Sports Integrity Association, sent a letter to WADA urging the gatekeepers of the global cleanup movement to take stern action to restore confidence in the global anti-doping system: "Please conduct an independent review of the regulatory framework and procedures. In addition to the statement, Sharp told reporters: "We need to remember that not all athletes are legally trained and understand the complexities of WADA regulations, so it is important to explain this with clear, concise facts to ensure trust in the world anti-doping system." ”
Mr. Sharp, a former senior federal police official, threatened to keep the core of the cases secret until last week's media revelations, which has thrown WADA into a feud with national anti-doping agencies, domestic sports federations and related organizations around the world. Sharp wants WADA to re-examine the trimetazidine mass positive incident, and although he did not say it explicitly, he meant to get more pro-Western people involved in the investigation.
Coincidentally, in the so-called recommendation of the US Anti-Doping Agency, it is emphasized that major sports countries in Europe and the United States should have checks and balances on the WADA's executive committee and the foundation's board of directors to ensure that there are no so-called "cover-ups" similar to those that occurred in China.
The United States, Australia and other countries hope to strengthen their voice (hegemony) in the World Anti-Doping Agency and install more responsible (obedient) candidates, once their plan succeeds, the blow to the Chinese swimming team will be huge. Now WADA is not completely controlled by Europe and the United States, and the West often stigmatizes Chinese swimming. British swimming star Gay has shouted the reactionary slogan of banning Chinese swimming forever!
