Credited from: CNN

  • USADA expressed full support for the US government's decision to withhold $3.625 million from WADA, which was due at the end of 2024.
  • The disagreement stems from WADA's handling of cases involving Chinese swimmers, who were cleared to compete despite positive tests for a banned substance.
  • USADA claims WADA swept the cases "under the carpet," while WADA accused USADA of making "outrageous" remarks about its integrity.
  • USADA CEO Travis Tygart stated that changes are necessary at WADA to ensure transparency and accountability in protecting athletes' rights.
  • WADA confirmed it did not receive the payment, impacting US representatives' eligibility for leadership roles within the agency.
