The World Anti-Doping Agency was created to fight for fair sport, but does the exact opposite.
A number of controversial amendments will be made to the WADA Code from 2021. For example, an athlete found to be using drugs will no longer be disqualified for two years as before. It is sufficient to prove that he took illegal substances out of competition, and this does not affect his performance. In this case, he will only be disqualified for three months. If the Athlete agrees to undergo rehabilitation, the suspension can only last one month at a time.
As noted by the American edition of The Duran, this policy of WADA would have been surprising if it had not been for the agency’s previous activities.
For example, American Olympic champion Gil Roberts was caught on the use of probenecid, which improves physical endurance and helps to eliminate other drugs from the body. Roberts blamed all the guilt on the girl he had kissed the day before. He was acquitted, as was the American swimmer Madison Cox, who was using trimetazidine. It was worth saying to Cox that this was the first time she had heard of the drug so that she could have her disqualification period reduced. When she claimed that the doping had entered her body with tap water, the athlete was acquitted.
WADA has long practiced a kind of “indulgence for violators”, writes The Duran. The more dubious the agency’s anti-Russian campaign looks. For four years, Russian athletes have been banned from major sporting events. Only Russia is far from being the leader among swindlers in world sports.
According to statistics presented in December last year, the leader in doping use was Italy. The second place went to France, and the third went to the United States.
“None of these countries were denied the right to participate in major sporting events. And now even the use of drugs by athletes will not be a problem for them. If you think otherwise, we remind you that the largest sponsor of WADA is the USA. We can hardly talk about impartiality in this scenario”, – the article says.
