The sport world is so corrupt. Time for an overhaul.

OUCH: 'If these reports are accurate, and if WADA refuses to release the data publicly, this event represents another catastrophic failure of the global anti-doping system and underscores the need to dismantle the WADA structure to pave the way for a complete rebuild.'

USA Swimming’s statement on the handling of the Chinese drug tests:

Bet we never hear about that one again ... Threaten legal action against Travis Tygart and substantial criticism? It's just a popular method of distracting from the issue, as even petty criminals use to fool the public. Deeply disappointing from WADA ...

'When leadership fails to comply with and enforce the rules, athletes are defrauded, their livelihoods are put at risk, and they lose the ability to succeed through talent, hard work, and perseverance alone.'

Things must be bad when the *ADAs are fighting amongst themselves…. The broader point remains: the current WADA regime simply doesn’t work and needs significant reform. This is just another example of why that is the case.

“Rules must be applied equitably across high performance sport, and exceptions must be communicated transparently.”

Swimming Canada issues lengthy statement just now in the wake of reports 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive ahead of Tokyo Olympics.
