The US has exposed the World Anti-Doping Agency's precarious funding model

I'm amazed this one isn't flagged yet...

I'm also amazed that things like curling, which was invented by a bunch of drunk Canadians as a way to have an excuse to spend even more time at the bar, now requires an international chemical testing regimen to ensure the participants aren't ingesting performance enhancing drugs (other than alcohol).

The fact that "sporting" activities are given such treatment is truly one of the great wastes of resources that could be cleaned up.

I've recently come to consider WADA as an extension of US domestic anti-drug policy, so I'm surprised to see this

The first of many I suspect. The United States has spent the better part of a century now projecting soft power all over the world, in a number of ways, many not even necessarily nefarious. We're a reliable member of the global community. Well, were. Since the first Trump administration we've steadily been losing that global influence (largely to China) because dipshits who don't understand international relations keep getting put in charge of international relations, not the least of which is the Toddler in Chief himself, and think it's a waste of money.

Then they go on to complain how China is stepping into those vacuums and gaining that influence, the irony completely lost on them. Or they're just flagrant con men, take your pick.
