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.PROFESSOR Arnold Beckett, a former member of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, has said leading athletes are not being tested properly for drugs. 'The IOC medical commission is failing to ensure that its accreditation of laboratories is in accord with international scientific standards of analytical validation and good laboratory practices or ethics,' Beckett said. 'Athletes are being placed at risk as a consequence of this failure and are seeking help from the courts to receive justice being denied them by the sports authorities.'
