AI Summary:
The United States withheld a dues payment of $3.6m to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for not conducting an independent audit of operations. WADA said the US government owes $3.625m, with WADA's overall 2025 operating budget at $57.5m. The move comes in the wake of WADA’s controversial handling of positive doping tests by 23 Chinese swimmers. The US has been the top government paying into WADA’s budget since WADA began in 2000, an investigator selected by the global anti-doping agency said in July that WADA did not mishandle the case involving the Chinese swimmers. This came in the aftermath of the Russia state-sponsored doping scheme surrounding the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
