WADA Accuses USADA of Violating Anti-Doping Codes

Aug 8, 2024, 10:31 AM

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has accused the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) of violating global anti-doping codes by employing undercover tactics to catch drug cheats. WADA claims that USADA allowed athletes who had violated anti-doping rules to continue competing as part of a scheme to expose doping practices. This has led to a conflict between the two agencies, with WADA questioning the fairness of allowing known drug cheats to compete against athletes who are competing in good faith. The controversy has raised concerns about potential double standards in the enforcement of anti-doping regulations.
