The United States has withheld a dues payment of $3.6 million to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for not conducting an independent audit of operations, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said Wednesday.
USADA chief executive officer Travis T. Tygart said his group "fully supports this decision" by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy "as the only right choice to protect athletes' rights, accountability and fair competition."
