Interesting take from an athlete who, according to WADA documents from the 2016 hack, received multiple TUEs in 2014–2015 for corticosteroids (prednisone and prednisolone) and even a narcotic painkiller (oxycodone). #tennis #doping #SerenaWilliams

FIFA's 2026 World Cup in full "integrity" mode: • "Hydration breaks" widely criticized as nothing more than commercial/ad breaks for broadcasters - ruining momentum and flow while lining pockets. • The expanded 48-team tournament is on track to be the most polluting World Cup ever, with estimates of 7.8-9+ million tons of CO₂e, driven by insane cross-continent travel. • Mexico dealing with cartel-related security concerns and reports of labor exploitation ("lavoro nero") around venues. • Fan incidents piling up: World Cup shuttle buses attacked, vandalized and torched in NYC during Knicks celebrations; coaches like Tuchel having to beg FIFA to move photographers blocking national anthem views. Player welfare, the planet, safety, and the spectacle itself all take a back seat to profit and optics. Classic FIFA governance. #FIFA2026 #WorldCupScandals

Death, taxes... and Serena Williams complaining about the anti-doping whereabouts system. She is right, it is incredibly intrusive, but also made necessary by athletes deliberately avoiding tests to avoid failing them bbc.com/sport/tennis/a…

This is bribery to elevate a drug, a company and its profits above patient well-being. If doctor feels that patient will benefit from such treatment then they do not need to and/or should not be financially incentivised to do so. If they do they are drug dealers, not doctors.

GPs in England are to be paid £3,000 a year bonuses to prescribe patients Mounjaro etc. The government is adding the incentive payments to the GP contract starting in April. GPs will also get extra money – worth about £1,000 a year - for referring patients on to weight loss

The Council of Europe have made public a digitised, BI-driven anti-doping database, replacing the antiquated pdf format. Unclear, however, why data from Australia, Morocco and Canada is part of this European database. Just looks odd. app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjo…

Has @usantidoping ever undergone an audit by truly independent, external experts? @wada_ama desperately needs one too - just like USADA does #doping #Olympics2026 #Sports

"In more than 25 years of its existence, WADA has never had an audit carried out by independent, external experts. We know that they have allowed certain countries like China to evade the rules. Are they afraid that this will be revealed?" -USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart

@bbculp @enhanced_games @C_Angermayer It's the clearest signal yet of how doping gets normalized under a thin veil of "innovation"

Paul Alexander Askew is the latest indictment under the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act, which allows U.S. prosecutors to pursue criminal charges tied to international doping conspiracies. According to the indictment, Askew conspired to provide athletes with performance enhancing drugs to athletes competing at the: – 2023 Ed Murphey Classic – 2023 Xiamen Diamond League – 2023 Prefontaine Classic – 2024 U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships – 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships – 2024 United States Olympics Trials – 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This one was a joint effort involving the Department of Justice, the DEA, USADA and the Athletics Integrity Unit.

Politics shouldn't infiltrate the purity of competition. #Heraskevich helmet was a powerful but ultimately political statement. There are legitimate questions about how the #IOC carried out this disqualification. The process involved multiple warnings, meetings (including a "tearful" one with Coventry), offered compromises like a black armband, and a final jury decision by the IBSF under IOC guidelines. Yet the timing and the athlete's appeal to CAS raise fair concerns about transparency, consistency, and proportionality in enforcement. Sports bodies must handle such sensitive cases with crystal-clear procedures to avoid eroding trust. #Olympics2026 #MilanoCortina2026

No. More. Silent. Bans. All positive tests and provisional suspensions stemming from any race, NGO, NADO, or @wada_ama should be announced within 30 days of the result. Why is this so hard to adopt. Truly, I don't understand.

Alysha Newman posts a video to her Instagram acknowledging her whereabouts failures and saying she came up short.

@NickJMButler This looks a lot like blackmail. The US is leveraging its financial clout - representing a huge chunk of WADA's budget (roughly matched by the IOC, but still critical) - to force the agency to submit to US-demanded oversight and reforms on US terms.

This '#Penisgate' saga is wild but highlights how far athletes might go for an edge. Hyaluronic acid isn't on #WADA's list, but their vow to probe it shows rules are catching up. FIS's 3D scans help, yet ethics matter. Let's see what unfolds in #MilanoCortina2026. #Olympics

#WADA's 2026 Prohibited List is live since Jan 1 - tighter rules on anabolic agents, peptides, hormones & stimulants (e.g., salmeterol dosing tweaks to curb boosts). But elite cheats are dodging detection; AIU calls the system "stalled." Banned research peptides are a click away
