Athletes have lost confidence in the global anti-doping system. The global sport and anti-doping system needs immediate reform.
Athlete calls for reform of @wada_ama, @Olympics and #CAS have been continually cast aside. The status quo is no longer acceptable.

Nearly 50, @kellyslater is still catching winning waves. On top again, the surf legend's considering retired life. For advice, Slater messaged Tom Brady -- a back-and-forth from one athlete dubbed the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) to another. @epells @wsl

30 YEARS after winning his first Pipeline pro event, @kellyslater wins it again! So historic, so unprecedented, so unbelievable, I can’t even describe it. No athlete, in any sport, has ever done anything like this. Far and away, without question the #GOAT
Sitting here in awe.

The US government paid its remaining $1.3 million in dues to the World Anti-Doping Agency but delivered a brusque message along with the check, calling its absence from the regulator's top decision-making boards a “sorry state of affairs.”

Mark should not have had to go through any of this. Heavy handed approach from @ukantidoping which should be a concern for every athlete. @uk_sport
Cannot thank @LawTop20 and the whole team at @SportsLawExper1 enough for sticking by me through this whole ordeal. A positive light in the dark and deceitful world of sports law and politics, stood up for what is right and actually fought for justice and truth.Forever grateful 🙏

She had the long nails. She had the style. She had the nickname of "Flo-Jo," which just sounded fast. Three decades later, the late Florence Griffith Joyner still has times sprinters are trying to catch. This new wave may be closing gap. @usatf

Taliyah Brooks is scheduled to throw the javelin in two minutes, but no sign of her yet. There are also no officials at the javelin at the moment, but of course they could be waiting in the AC.

Even a no-fans Tokyo Olympics would require at least 100,000 credentialed people including athletes and support staff, said the head of workforce training from London 2012.
Olympics officials have used other sporting events as evidence that the Tokyo Games can go on.
"Look at the Augusta Masters," IOC prez Thomas Bach said.
The Masters had 88 athletes from 23 countries. Tokyo will have 11,000 from 200.
