It was made public in the spring that 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for a cardiac drug that was prohibited before to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics were nevertheless permitted to compete by WADA. There were five swimmers who went on to earn medals, two of them gold. Later this summer in Paris, eleven of the swimmers who tested positive before Tokyo are scheduled to compete.
Celebrated American swimmers Allison Schmiit and Michael Phelps testified before Congress last month, saying that they had given up on WADA’s ability to eradicate doping in their sport.
I concur wholeheartedly. Torres said, “They have completely failed athletes,” in a recent interview with News. I grew up in an era when many swimmers from different countries engaged in doping: East German and then Chinese. First of all, there should be equal ground, so I’m not sure how you can possibly be doing it consciously.
If you gained the victory by deceit, you shouldn’t feel happy about it. Furthermore, I believe that in order to stay ahead of the dopers rather than behind them, more complex testing is necessary. As the head of the USADA, I am familiar with Travis Tygart. To be honest, he was furious about that. He’s exerting every effort to ensure that there will be an equitable playing.
