The world’s leading swimmers are considering a multimillion-dollar class action lawsuit against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) over the admission of Chinese dopers to the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The Times learned about this.
The athletes, whose names have not been named, are negotiating with lawyers and sports officials. She also secured financial support in case the case goes to trial.
Earlier it became known that WADA hired an independent prosecutor after the doping scandal among Chinese swimmers. “We continue to reject the false allegations and are pleased to be able to place these matters in the hands of an experienced, respected and independent prosecutor,” said WADA President Witold Banka.
On April 20, it was reported that trimetazidine (a drug to improve heart function) was found in samples from 23 Chinese swimmers. approx. “Tapes.ru”). The substance was discovered before the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, but WADA did not suspend the athletes, believing the version of the Chinese agency (CHINADA) about the accidental ingestion of the prohibited substance into the body. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) later called for a review of WADA, saying it had undermined trust in the system.
