Show Notes
The World Anti-Doping Agency is considering a new rule to penalize governments for withholding funding, potentially impacting events like the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. This comes amid tensions with the U.S., which has skipped payments totaling $7.3 million over the past two years. The rule might take effect before the 2028 Games, despite concerns from the U.S. about WADAs handling of a case with Chinese swimmers. WADA officials stress that funding gaps hurt athletes worldwide, and the rule would not apply retroactively. The proposal resurfaced this year, with Europeans pushing for quick action, and any executive decision needs approval from WADAs foundation board.
