The Dark Side of the Olympic Games: Anti Doping Agency Scam.
Did you know Olympic Anti Doping agency WADA is controlled by U.S. and it allows 3 countries to hold 63% of all Therapeutic DRUG use exemptions and the same 3 countries hold most number of medal tally.
The agency itself is set up with the sole purpose to enable massive doping of the US/Western athletes and to forbid and target other athletes in the name of anti-doping.
Athletes can legally dope themselves with performance-enhancing drugs, all under the guise of "medical treatment."
All thanks to system that World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has created, a system that allows western countries to dominate the medal tally with:
WADA's "exemption list".
This list is a little-known secret that allows athletes to use banned drugs, as long as they get approval. Approval by whom? US controlled WADA.
But here's the catch - the applications are kept private, opening the door for widespread doping. And guess which countries are taking advantage of this loophole? The same three countries that top the medal tally.
If you take a closer look at the numbers. In 2015, 653 American athletes applied for exemptions, with a staggering 60% approval rate. Compare that to Russia, which had a mere 37% approval rate, and China, which had only a single-digit number of approved exemptions.
But that's not all in 2016, the Russian hacker group "Magic Bear" leaked into the WADA database and found that American athletes have been using banned drugs with the help of their own anti-doping agency.
Yes, you read that right - the very agency meant to prevent doping has been enabling it. Over 200 American athletes have received medical exemptions, allowing them to use drugs like synthetic steroids and diuretics.
And it's not just limited to one or two sports. Cycling, athletics, triathlon, swimming, and skiing - all the sports that require peak physical performance - have been hit hard by doping. Even tennis superstars like Serena and Venus Williams have been allowed to take banned drugs, without revealing the medical certificates that justified their use.
WADA's system is a scam. Games should be about fair play and sportsmanship, instead WADA is used as a US weapon to attack adversaries in foreign policy.

Serena and Venus Williams were granted therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) by WADA to take certain medications.
Serena Williams was granted TUEs for:
- Oxycodone (2010)
- Hydromorphone (2014)
- Prednisone (2014)
- Methylprednisolone (2015)
Venus Williams was granted TUEs for:
- Prednisolone (2010, 2011, 2012)
- Triamcinolone (2010, 2011, 2012)
- Formoterol (2013)
The Williams sisters have spoken publicly about their medical conditions, with Serena discussing her history of blood clots and pulmonary embolism, and Venus talking about her struggles with Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder.
However drugs required for their conditions conveniently replaces banned performance enhancing drugs.

Famous American gymnast Simone Biles tested positive for methylphenidate in August 2016, but she was not suspended due to a therapeutic use exemption (TUE).
Methylphenidate, commonly known as Ritalin, is banned in the Olympics because it is a stimulant that can enhance athletic performance.
Methylphenidate as medication is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which Biles has.
Biles was also granted TUEs for amphetamine and other substances in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and she was approved by WADA.

United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) works closely with WADA and US Olympic Committee (USOC)
It is responsible for
1. Dope testing and investigations.
2. Results management: Managing the process for handling positive test results, including adjudication and sanctions.

However USADA is a private, non-profit organization, but its name gives the impression of being a government agency.
This is likely intentional, as it helps to convey a sense of authority and officialdom.
USADA's private status is notable, as it receives funding from the US Olympic Committee and other sources, but operates independently of direct government oversight.
While it works closely with government agencies, its private nature allows for more flexibility and autonomy in its operations.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is a unique organization as it straddles the line between public and private entities.
While it is not gov, it is also not purely private org. Giving it authority and privacy both.
U.S. is the largest single financial contributor to WADA.
