“It is sad to see current WADA leaders stoop so low as to attack U.S. college and pro athletes. With the full Cottier Report due for release on Thursday, this latest attempt at deflection is telling. WADA leaders are obviously running scared to resort to such despicable actions to deflect from their own failure to do their job as the global regulator in the handling of the 23 positive Chinese TMZ cases. Where is the accountability for WADA leadership’s decisions?
The reality is that U.S. Olympic athletes are covered by both the USADA and NCAA programs. If WADA leadership bothered looking into all the data, not just the pieces that serve its agenda, it would know that 100% of U.S. NCAA athletes who competed at the Paris Olympic Games were tested by USADA in 2024. USADA has also worked closely with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) over the past several years to encourage the NCAA to advance their program. Unfortunately, the over-the-top attacks today by WADA leaders have probably completely undermined that effort. And if there was any doubt before, this latest attack is a perfect example of why U.S. college and pro sports would want nothing to do with WADA.”
