    Right? I would love is the USA says “we pull WADA funding if this isn’t cleared up”, as it appears WADA is like 50% funded by USA (IOC has said that the USA must support WADA’s standard to not lose the Salt Lake bid, but I don’t think that included funding)

      So WADA should be partial to the USA because of funding. Isn’t that corruption?

        Except they start to wonder if WADA is partial to someone else (the whole China drama, that from how I read it, was uncovered by a Time’s investigation)

            Sadly it’s seeming so … you think with what the Olympics stands for, people could do better

        Perhaps, but it’s not unreasonable to say that all inquiries should be settled before the podium

      Sounds mildly corrupt to pressure organisations into making decisions favourable to your nation based on funding…

      And by mildly I mean extremely lol.
