The China Anti-Doping Agency has officially called on the International Testing Agency to ramp up testing of U.S. track and field athletes during the Paris 2024 Games. This move comes amid suspicions of a systemic doping issue within U.S. athletics.
In a statement released on Thursday, the agency highlighted, \"Given the deep-rooted stains in the U.S. athletics and the United States Anti-Doping Agency's repeated disregard for procedures and standards, there is reason to suspect that there is a systemic doping problem in track and field in the United States and the positive cases therein deserve continuous investigation and attention.\"
As the Paris Games approach, this demand underscores the ongoing global efforts to ensure fair play and integrity in sports. Athletes and fans alike will be watching closely to see how these enhanced testing measures unfold.
