The body responsible for policing doping in world sport is facing demands for total reform in the wake of the swimming scandal that saw 23 Chinese athletes secretly cleared to compete at the Tokyo Olympics despite positive drugs tests. The United States Anti-Doping Agency issued a scathing attack on the World Anti-Doping Agency following the latter's assertion on Monday that they would 'not do anything different' in their handling of the affair. The astonishing case, which only came to light over the weekend, centres on 23 athletes who were exonerated by Chinese authorities after the banned substance trimetazidine was found in their samples in 2021, just months before the Olympics.

Grant Hackett has taken a swipe at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and China over a bombshell Chinese doping scandal from the Tokyo Olympics that could result in Aussie women being promoted to silver medallists.

The tests were all collected in January 2021, ahead of the Tokyo Games where two of those who tested positive, Zhang Yufei and Wang Shun, won gold medals.

The tests were all collected in January 2021, ahead of the Tokyo Games where two of those who tested positive, Zhang Yufei and Wang Shun, won gold medals.
