China response to doping

In response to a media investigation revealing that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) allowed athletes who failed drug tests to compete, China's Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) has called for an independent inquiry into USADA's practices, deeming them a violation of the World Anti-Doping Code. CHINADA criticized what it sees as 'double standards' from the U.S. while questioning past doping scandals involving American athletes. Notably, American sprinter Erriyon Knighton was cleared to compete in the Olympic 200m final despite testing positive for a banned substance, with USADA attributing the result to contaminated meat. Meanwhile, Chinese swimmers have undergone extensive testing at the Paris Games with no violations found, leading to criticism of the treatment of Chinese athletes. Amidst the tensions, China's Olympic delegation urged the U.S. to cease its 'long-arm jurisdiction' to ensure fair participation in upcoming Games. The situation highlights ongoing disputes regarding doping allegations in international sports.
