The Ministry of Justice and the Federal Investigation Office (FBI) has investigated whether the World Women and China Authority has covered positive tests for Chinese Olympic swimmers who went to win medals in the last summer matches under Trump’s management, according to a documentary that the New York Times obtained.
The document, which is planning the World Anti -Doping Agency to provide its executive committee at this month, said that federal officials had an interview with an employee of the agency, who is an American citizen on February 12 as part of the ongoing investigation.
The investigation started under the Biden administration after the Times and a German broadcaster open 23 Chinese swimmers have proven positive for a banned substance before the 2021 Olympics, but the Chinese authorities did not reveal the results or taken any action against the swimmers.
In the last days of his first administration, President Trump signed a law that gives American authorities power Follow up doping allegations across the border. The concentration of the investigation, which involves the potential and wrong Chinese corruption by an international organization, is among the issues that Mr. Trump referred to and its management that they are very interested.
The latest development on the investigation of a section entitled “The American Power” was revealed in a 255 -page report that WADA plans to submit to the members of the Executive Committee. Its author was included as Olivier Negly, General Manager of Wada.
The document said that the WADA employee interviewed on a voluntary basis and did “in the presence of the United States’ lawyer.”
The document also indicated that the United States, the largest financier of WADA, did not pay its dues to the organization. The financing cut began according to the Biden administration in response to Wada’s treatment with doping allegations and it seems that it continued during the era of Mr. Trump. Relations between Wada and the United States remain tense, according to the document.
The Biden Administration refused to pay the dues after WADA refused to undergo a set of measures, including the audit, after US officials raised questions about how to deal with positive tests. Mr. Trump has not yet appointed a White House drug official, who will control a decision on the release of funds. The dealing with Wada with questions related to the Chinese Olympic program also led to severe criticism from Republicans as well as Democrats in Congress.
“The previous US administration has been disappointed, not only athletes around the world, but also American athletes, because they are the ones who benefit more than all the efforts and programs that are published outside the United States to support a level stadium,” Mr. Nigley told WADA in the Executive Committee in the document.
In response to money blocking, WADA has suspended all American officials from its board of directors and other committees.
The federal investigation has led to the Wada cavity and the wider world sports world. Last year, the US President of the World Swimming Ruling Authority was arrested for interrogation on positive tests in the United States before riding a plane to return to Europe.
This stopping threats against the United States has stopped because of its hosting of the future Olympics. In exchange Receive the offer to the Winter Olympics 2032The Olympic Movement persuaded officials from Utah and the head of the US Olympic Committee, Jane Sykes, to respond to the investigations of the Ministry of Justice in exchange for winter games.
The fact that the investigation is continuing indicates that there is no imminent decision despite the change of departments in Washington.
The document also took a goal from WADA, Travis T The document indicated that although Mr. Tygart attacked WADA because of his dealings with international doping issues, he needed to be more hiding about a proposed proposal event to the home: improved games, an isolated project once in the United States that overlooks performance promotion drugs.
The project gained momentum after providing early support for prominent investors, including Peter Thil, a billionaire in Silicon Valley. She has received great additional interest since Donald Trump Junior announced an investment in the project last month through a fund that helps operate it. Announcement of funding from the group includes a video clip of the president On its websiteAnd where Mr. Trump says the Great: “The impossible is what we do.”
“Whatever the modern differences between WADA and USADA, the WAADA document said,” We trust and hope that for clean sport, it will take a strong and initial position in improved games and that it will not change now after the United States has been described as a host. “
