ITU, IOC, WADA etc. and Schoeman
Poll Below:
Schoeman states there was NO postitive, NO AAF, and NO reason for TUE. ITU craftily words that the investigation determined that no AAF was recorded and states all WADA procedures were followed. Isn't that the point of the hackers posting the scans... to ask why no AAF was filed or pursued? That's like the police saying "thanks for dropping off this criminal, but we're letting them go because we determined they haven't been charged with a crime". WADA has stated nothing...... So is it fabricated evidence?
I guess we can let the IOC and ITU slide as "privately and independently" funded for the most part. But WADA gets its funding from governments, which means from the taxpayers. I reject any psychobabble argument that there are government money streams which are not taxpayer derived. This is accounting nonsense. So in my opinion, we, the interested public, are funding the WADA. Certainly I understand that the funding public has no real voice in the eyes of the management in power, but that voice does get heard through active complaint and protest.
Would a slew of letters and inquiries to WADA make a difference? As pointed out in the other threads, the facts don't line up.
