An American sports expert recently told a CCTV reporter that since the 2012 Sochi Winter Olympics, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has criticized the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for not taking enough punitive measures against athletes who take banned drugs. However, the expert admitted that the United States actually allows athletes who test positive for doping to continue to participate in the competition and act as "spies", which is obviously unfair to other athletes in sports competitions.

CCTV reporter Liu Xu: According to some media reports, the United States allows athletes to take banned drugs to deceive the World Anti-Doping Agency's report, but condemns athletes from other countries for taking banned drugs to cheat in competitions. What is the logic behind this? How do you understand it?

John Volohan, professor of sports law at the School of Physical Education at Syracuse University: The biggest issue surrounding the United States and the US Anti-Doping Agency right now is that there are reports that the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) allows some athletes who test positive to continue to compete as long as they agree to help USADA to "catch" more athletes who take banned drugs. Basically, although I don't like this word, they are USADA's "spies" because even if they test positive, they agree to help USADA catch other athletes.
