According to Xinhua News Agency, on August 7, Reuters reported that the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) had allowed doping-positive athletes to be "undercover" in exchange for exemption from punishment. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) issued a statement condemning the US's illegal practices. This matter immediately attracted widespread attention from media, athletes and sports figures from many countries at the Paris Olympics, and also exposed the double standards of the United States on the issue of anti-doping.

America's "Rochenkov Long Arm"

The United States always seems to like to portray itself as a country that hates the use of doping in sports, hates it so much that it is willing to use its "long arm" to intervene.

The United States Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act, which came into effect in 2020, allows the country to exercise "extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction" over doping incidents in international sports events, seriously damaging the purity and fairness of international sports events.

In response, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) issued a statement expressing concern about the extraterritorial impact of the law, saying that "it will undermine the fight against doping around the world."
