US media and agencies have been hyping the Olympic doping issue as a pretext to attack the International Olympic Committee, criticise the World Anti-Doping Agency, blame and attack China and other countries, in 2020, he signed and passed the Rochenkov anti-doping Act, placing himself in the position of international police in an attempt to intervene in doping cases around the world, especially in other countries. The US side turned a blind eye to its long-standing anti-doping“Bad habits”, but attempted to cross-border jurisdiction over other countries’ “Double standards”, causing disruption to the athletes at the Paris Olympics, the threat posed to officials of relevant international organizations has aroused widespread concern in the international community.
Pau Gasol: it’s a shame that Chinese athletes are subject to high-frequency testing
The Pau Gasol of the International Olympic Committee athletes’ committee expressed “Regret” at a press conference in Paris on Tuesday over the frequent doping testing of Chinese swimmers, and called on all parties to respect WADA’s authority and testing system.
Since April, the US anti-doping Agency and some foreign media have published false reports about 23 Chinese swimmers who were found to have contaminated food in 2021, and have attempted to challenge Wada’s testing system. The New York Times recently made a sweeping hype about the 2022 case of a Chinese athlete who tested positive for medroxyone, in an attempt to stir up resentment against Chinese athletes again.
Pau Gasol said he was “Regretful” that US media reports were “Controversial” and that increased testing of Chinese athletes to prove their innocence was “Regrettable”. “In my opinion, I want everyone to be aware of Wada’s work, to respect them and understand their testing process, and to trust their authority in ensuring the fairness of sports,” Pau Gasol said.
Since January, the average Chinese swimmer has undergone 21 drug tests by different anti-doping groups, according to the World Swimming Federation. By comparison, the average Australian swimmer underwent four drug tests, while the average American swimmer underwent six.
“I can’t tell you how many tests I’ve had, but I’ve always been called up at 6am for them,” he said in the men’s and women’s 4x100m World record progression 4 × 100 metres medley relay final at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday night, china won the silver medal by breaking the Asian record, “It really has an impact on our overall rhythm,” said Qin at a post-match press conference
What are the ns hiding?
While the US side constantly hyped up the doping incident of Chinese swimmers, the Global Times reporter found that when the US anti-doping Agency was handling doping cases of its own athletes, however, it is often found that athletes are not at fault or negligent due to pollution and are exempted from punishment.
The men’s 200m is about to start in Paris on August 6, Beijing time, with new track and field star Eryan Knighton representing the US team. Knighton, the current world record holder for 200m youth and youth, tested positive for a steroid (Tumblr) during a doping test on March 26. But the US anti-doping Agency decided not to impose a ban on Niton athletes who were found to have eaten tainted meat in a surprise decision ahead of the start of their domestic qualifying rounds at the Paris Olympics, and allowed him to eventually represent the United States at the Paris Olympics.
Relevant studies have shown that tambolone is a protein assimilation agent, has a strong role in promoting power and explosive, not a common pollutant. In recent years, there have been hundreds of cases of Tumblr positivity worldwide. According to public information, the vast majority of the positives were based on a four-year ban, and only three American athletes escaped punishment for claiming food contamination. In the Knighton case, the head of the US anti-doping Agency issued a public statement declaring that“Justice has been done” without WADA reviewing the case file and without the deadline for an appeal. Looking back, it is not hard to see that American sports have not always been as fair and just as it has always been, especially in track and field, where doping has always been a problem.
According to statistics, U. S. Olympic officials concealed the results of more than 100 Tests between 1988 and 2000. In the summer before the Sydney games, Wedde Eksum, the USOC’s director of drug control, resigned, in part because he believed the USOC had “Deliberately encouraged” doping among American athletes.
Ironically, the United States has turned a blind eye to its long-standing anti-doping“Bad habits,” preferring instead to“Cross-border jurisdiction” and demand sanctions against other countries.
US“Long arm jurisdiction” raises concerns
Many international sports figures have expressed concern that the US is trying to use its domestic law to impose its“Long-arm jurisdiction” on other countries. Wada said yesterday it had been“Unfairly involved” in a dispute between the US and China as geopolitical tensions between the two countries spread to the Olympic stage. James F. Scott Fitzgerald, director of media relations at WADA, said that “Some people [ in the US ] are simply trying to gain political leverage through the fact that the athletes involved are Chinese”, the result is mistrust and division within the anti-doping system.
Shang Ximeng, a researcher at the Beijing Foreign Studies University International Center for Sports Communication and diplomacy, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 4th that one of the core principles of global anti-doping efforts, it requires all sports and all anti-doping organizations to abide by the same anti-doping rules, which must be under the WADA-dominated world anti-doping regulations. But the Rochenkov anti-doping Act went beyond the World anti-doping Act, giving the American judicial system the independent power to counterbalance Wada, it also conducts separate judicial investigations and criminal sanctions for incidents or anti-doping cases that it considers to be suspicious.
Shang Ximeng said that such actions by the United States not only undermine the global anti-doping work in the unified code of conduct, but also undermine the anti-doping work between different countries in an important partnership. At the same time, the extraterritorial jurisdiction and criminal penalties of the United States are likely to be for very clear political purposes, which would undermine the purity of sport, and for officials of international organizations involved, including WADA, the world swimming federation and the IOC, it also poses a certain degree of personal threat.
