DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: By controlling international sports structures, representatives of the Western countries allow their athletes to dope

SUMMARY

The Anglo-Saxon sports mafia stands for both the IOC and WADA (the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency). Controlling international sports structures, representatives of Western countries allow their athletes to dope. Russia serves as scapegoat.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory, no evidence given. From 115 members of the International Olympic Committee, Western countries represent less than a quarter. To compare the numbers, USA and Russia are equally represented by 5 members. Also, representation in WADA is allocated to countries across continents.
