The Chinese swimming team has made the latest progress in the pollution scandal. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Athletes' Council issued a statement emphasizing that the presumption of innocence and the right to fair and due process are at the heart of the anti-doping regime, regardless of the athlete's country of origin or sport. The announcement also strongly recommends that WADA investigate how information about the Chinese swimming team's food pollution scandal was leaked in violation of regulations, because it involves violations of personal information and the rights of minors.
WADA underwent internal system reforms in 2022.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) underwent a restructuring of its internal system two years ago with five standing committees (see figure below): the Independent Ethics Committee, the Compliance Assessment Committee, the Nominating Committee, the Risk Audit Committee and the Athletes' Council. Among them, the Athletes' Council (AC) is a newly established body, and it is also the only body with athletes as the main body. The Athletes' Council is represented by 20 retired and active athletes from around the world, including China's Olympic speed skating champion Zhang Hong as a representative of the IOC Athletes' Commission.
Five Standing Committees of the World Anti-Doping Agency
After the Chinese swimming team's food pollution scandal was leaked in violation of regulations, the Athletes' Council extensively learned about the opinions and suggestions of athletes from all over the world through various channels. Drawing on the voices of all parties, the Athletes' Council issued an official statement on the WADA website, hoping to hear a wider range of expressions, but also emphasizing two points. The first is to emphasize that the World Anti-Doping System and the global governance system must be comprehensive, not only to sanction athletes who violate doping, but also to protect the legitimate rights and interests of athletes. The statement stressed that the presumption of innocence and the right to fairness and due process are at the heart of the anti-doping regime, regardless of the country of origin or sport in which the athlete is played.

Secondly, the official statement of the Athletes' Council also pointed out that the personal information of the athletes in the incident of the Chinese swimming team, including names and photos, was leaked to the media in violation of regulations, which not only seriously violated the rights of athletes, but also the rights of minors, and this behavior is "intolerable". The Athletes' Council has asked WADA to investigate how this information was leaked to the media and how to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Athletes' Council Statement (2)
Black Goose Chat Ball believes that the two key points in the Athletes' Council's statement are too in place, in one sentence! The first point is about the right to "presumption of innocence", isn't it the best case of "presumption of innocence" when an American athlete tested positive for doping in 2014 but was also exempted from punishment for food contamination? The "justice and rights" that the Americans keep saying belong to them, and they have always left the "big stick" to their competitors! The second point about the leakage of information violations is a consistent trick manipulated by European and American institutions in conjunction with the media, and the reason why the information about the food pollution of their team is not known to the outside world is because good people abide by the rules of the group and do not play games that violate the rules, and hooligans are never reasonable!
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will hold a video conference for athletes next Monday to further hear the voices against the Chinese swimming team.
