U.S. Funding Dispute With World Anti-Doping Agency Boils Over
After the Biden administration withheld funding to the agency, saying it had lost confidence in its ability to police elite athletes, WADA removed the United States from its board.The fallout from the disclosure that the World Anti-Doping Agency did not discipline a slew of Chinese swimmers who tested positive for a banned drug erupted on Wednesday after the Biden administration said it withheld major funding for the agency and the agency removed the American government’s representative from its board.
The United States had held back its funding to the agency, known as WADA, after losing faith in its ability to guard against the use of banned performance-enhancing drugs at events like the Olympics, the White House said.
The decision by the Biden administration was a significant blow to WADA, which has been under intense scrutiny for decisions not to punish or more aggressively investigate positive tests for banned substances by elite Chinese swimmers in recent years.
On Wednesday, the antidoping agency responded by removing the United States, which had been the single largest country funder to the agency, from a position on its board.

lol honestly I don’t know why but it seems the US is even more of a whiner than usual recently. Basically they want WADA to punish China for something that is iffy at best but they don’t want WADA to punish them for hiding dopers.
“In one case, an elite level athlete, who competed at Olympic qualifier and international events in the United States, admitted to taking steroids and EPO yet was permitted to continue competing all the way up to retirement. Their case was never published, results never disqualified, prize money never returned, and no suspension ever served. The athlete was allowed to line up against their unknowing competitors as if they had never cheated. In that case, when USADA eventually admitted to WADA what had been going on, it advised that any publication of consequences or disqualification of results would put the athlete’s security at risk and asked WADA to agree to non-publication. Being put in this impossible position, WADA had no choice but to agree (after verifying with its Intelligence and Investigations Department that the security threat was credible). The athlete’s doping was therefore never made public.”
California reservoirs are nearly full. All they needed was building 21st century Air tanker that scoop water directly. for some reason this rich people not have this thinking.
Since you're talking about this...
"Yet ANOTHER massive fire has just sparked in Studio City, with several structures engulfed"
"This is in a totally different area of Los Angeles than the other fires"
billions will become China pilled
Apart from the Elder, General Liu Huaqing (yes, the same person who pushed CV-16 Liaoning and subsequent Chinese aircraft carriers into reality today) are also fundamental in bring the J-10 into reality.
Without them, there will be no J-10 in 1998. Without J-10, there will be no J-20 in 2011; and without J-20, there will be no J-36 in 2024.
In fact, this is yet to include the impacts brought by cross-institute cooperation and collaboration between Chengdu and Shenyang since the J-10, which eventually brought us the J-35/A and also the J-XDS in 2024.
We really owe our thanks to them both for putting their foot down back in the 1990s.
