Officials from New Zealand, Australia, Germany, the US and the UK spent this week calling for an independent investigation into the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) handling of the 23 Chinese athletes who tested positive for a banned substance in 2021. WADA continues to stand by its actions, but amid the mounting pressure, the agency announced yesterday that an independent prosecutor will review its handling of the case. The announcement isn’t satisfying all critics, though, as The World’s Bianca Hillier reports.
