The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is under fire for its response to a doping scandal involving 23 Chinese swimmers from the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. WADA disagreed with the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency's secretive approach, which lacked formal doping cases. Doubts have also been raised about the independence of the investigator appointed by WADA for this case. The US Anti-Doping Agency has criticized WADA for spreading 'half-truths' about the scandal.
