WADA, Which was Covering Up Chinese Swimming’s ‘Doping Cover-Up’ Suspicions, Belatedly Forms an Investigation Team

Ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) decided to set up an investigation team to take another look into the suspicion that China covered up this fact and participated in the Olympics despite a large number of athletes from the Chinese swimming team being caught doping.

Major American and British media outlets, including the New York Times and the Guardian, reported on the 26th (Korean time) that “WADA appointed Swiss prosecutor Eric Cottier as head of the independent organization and began an investigation.” 안전한 카지노사이트

“Over the past few days, WADA has been unfairly accused of siding with China.

At a time when WADA’s integrity and reputation are under attack, we are pleased to have entrusted the investigation to an experienced and independent prosecutor,” WADA President Witold Banka said in a statement.

It was on the 20th that it was first revealed that 23 Chinese swimmers who participated in the Tokyo Olympics participated in the Olympics despite testing positive for drugs.

Australian newspaper Herald Sun first reported it, and the New York Times said, “Despite the Chinese athlete’s positive test, top Chinese officials found the athlete not guilty of doping and sent him to the Olympics.

Many doping experts raised the issue, but WADA decided in China’s favor.

It was reported that “the decision was taken down.”

The ingredient detected in the Chinese swimmer’s urine sample was trimetazidine.

Trimetazidine, used as a treatment for angina pectoris, has the effect of facilitating oxygen supply to the body by increasing blood flow, and Russian figure skating star Kamila Valieva was disciplined after the drug was detected.

The China Anti-Doping Commission (CHINADA) sent the athletes to the Tokyo Olympics despite large-scale doping, saying, “A very small amount of banned substances was detected as the athletes ate old food without their knowledge.”

When the so-called suspicion of Chinese swimming’s ‘doping cover-up’ arose, WADA said, “There was no basis to refute China’s explanation.

CHINADA followed appropriate procedures.

He explained, “There was no problem with our decision (to send Chinese athletes to the Olympics).”

WADA President Banca defended China on the 23rd, saying, “If the incident had happened again now, we would have come to the same conclusion.”
