In the controversy over the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) handling of 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for drugs, IOC President Bach expressed support for the agency. In an interview with AFP on April 47, he said: "We have full confidence in WADA and the relevant regulations, and the agency has complied with their regulations. ”
The IOC president's remarks clearly show that this organization is no longer succumbing to the privileges of Europe and the United States, and has not yet become a spear in the hands of European and American politicians, a magnifying glass in their hands, and everything that is unfavorable to Europe and the United States will be targeted, suspected, and investigated. The statement of the president of the Olympic Committee upheld the dignity of the organization to a certain extent, and to a certain extent it was pure, although they had previously stated that Russia would be restricted from participating in the Paris Olympics, and on this issue was not affected by other factors.
In the interview, Bach said that WADA is funded by the International Olympic Committee, which operates independently. He is not under the jurisdiction of the Olympic Committee, and he only learned about an athlete who tested positive for drugs after media reports, and he is also happy that WADA made the correct decision, which ensures the fairness and authority of WADA to a certain extent.
The incident was triggered by an Australian newspaper reporting that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for the banned drug trimetazidine (TMZ) before the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, and WADA accepted the Chinese delegation's explanation that the Chinese delegation had a positive urine test due to a contamination in the kitchen of the hotel where the athletes were staying. The athletes involved were not suspended or punished, but the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (AADA) recently provoked the incident, which last week accused WADA of covering up the fact that Chinese athletes tested positive for drugs, and wanted to take the opportunity to expand the impact of the incident and create public pressure to cancel the medals of the athletes involved. Facts have proved that such groundless accusations are blatant false accusations.
At present, the international situation is still unfavorable for our country, and opponents have been looking for opportunities to restrict and hinder the development of Chinese sports in all aspects. As long as China is good at sports, there have been more or less institutional changes, such as diving, table tennis, etc., their targeted rules have made us suffer, and foreign forces will do everything to prevent the development of Chinese sports.
My heart will not die, and my generation should be self-reliant!
