The 48-year-old short track speed skating superstar Da Yang Yang is a legend in the Chinese sports world, she has achieved zero breakthrough in the Winter Olympics gold medal for China, she has created an unprecedented record of 59 world championships, and she has served as a member of the International Olympic Committee after retiring, the first assistant of the International Skating Union, and the vice president of the World Anti-Doping Agency WADA, which has a great influence in the Chinese and foreign sports circles.
However, such a woman with great personality and outstanding contributions to the world sports cause has been suspected and slandered by the European and American media. For example, the American media outlet SWIMSWAM, which has been smearing Chinese sports around the food contamination of 23 Chinese swimmers, has openly stirred up trouble, suggesting that WADA, of which Yang Yang is vice chairman, is shielding the Chinese swimming team, and complaining that none of WADA's executives are Americans.
The American journalist writes: "The chairman of WADA is Witold Banka of Poland, and Da Yang Yang is the deputy chairman. There are no Americans on the 42-member WADA Board of Directors, which is the highest decision-making body of the World Anti-Doping Agency. The Americas were represented by Panama, Jamaica, Chile and Canada, and although the United States was the largest single financial supporter of WADA, it did not have a seat at the table. ”
Western forces are very dissatisfied with WADA's "disobedience" and hope to start from two aspects: first, to install pro-American officials at the top level of WADA, and second, to bypass WADA and support institutions that obey their word. Specifically, regarding the trimetazidine incident of the Chinese swimming team, Europe and the United States have called for the establishment of a so-called independent, impartial investigation team that does not belong to WADA to follow up, which you can also understand as an investigation team completely controlled by the United States.
For Da Yang Yang, the European and American media have released some ill-intentioned reports, they are really afraid that Da Yang Yang will continue to act impartially, and they are even more afraid that Da Yang Yang will be promoted from the vice chairman of WADA to the chairman of WADA in the future. The current president of WADA is Banka, a Polish sprinter, who has also served as an official in sports and tourism, and has worked well with Dayang Yang Yang at the top of WADA.
Da Yang Yang openly expressed his indignation at the despicable tricks of Western forces: "In the absence of any evidence, my integrity is questioned. There are those who try to divide the world of sports". We believe that Da Yang Yang will be able to go toe-to-toe with the Western camp in a reasonable and advantageous manner, just as she was in the short track speed skating back then.
