Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The World Swimming Coaches Association asked during the Pan Pacific Championships in Atlanta at the weekend for more stringent out-of-competition drug testing, and repeated calls for the suspension of China from international competition.
A panel of eight athletes from Australia, the United States and Canada and members of the 36-country, 1,100-member WSCA criticised the lack of response by Fina, the sport's international governing body, to drug offences by China's swimmers. China has had 19 swimmers test positive for drugs since 1990.
