China's Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) has criticized the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for displaying double standards in handling doping cases. CHINADA released a statement on Tuesday accusing USADA of attempting to clear American athletes while scrutinizing Chinese swimmers. The criticism follows allegations against Chinese swimmers at the Paris Olympics, which CHINADA claims are politically motivated. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) also commented, suggesting that certain individuals in the US are using the doping narrative to score political points. Victor Gao echoed these sentiments, urging the US to be more rational. The controversy includes the case of American sprinter Erriyon Knighton, who was involved in a trenbolone case.
