The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has decided to drop a lawsuit and an ethics case it had filed against critics in the United States regarding its handling of a doping case involving Chinese swimmers. This decision comes after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced that a defamation lawsuit filed in a Swiss court against them, as well as an ethics complaint against former U.S. drug czar Rahul Gupta, have both been withdrawn.
USADA CEO Travis Tygart expressed his satisfaction with the resolution, calling it a 'complete vindication' for both parties involved. The news of the dropped legal actions was first reported by the website Honest Sport, which obtained a letter from WADA leadership to its executive committee.
