《纽约时报》的这篇报道主要内容是：世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）任命了一名特别检察官来调查中国运动员涉嫌服用兴奋剂的事件，这可能导致中国运动员被集体禁赛，甚至被禁赛多年。该报道援引了所谓“熟悉情况的人士”的说法，称中国反兴奋剂实验室工作人员故意篡改运动员的兴奋剂检测数据，以掩盖阳性检测结果。报道还提到，中国方面拒绝了世界反兴奋剂机构的要求，不允许检查原始数据，并指责世界反兴奋剂机构“违反程序”。 评论：这篇报道有明显的倾向性，存在“有罪推定”的倾向。其消息来源和证据链不够清晰，仅基于所谓“熟悉情况的人士”的说法，缺乏直接证据。此外，报道没有充分考虑和反映中国方面的回应和态度，对中国反兴奋剂工作的努力和成果也缺乏了解和尊重。兴奋剂问题是国际体育界普遍关注的问题，任何国家和运动员都不能豁免，但调查和处理必须遵循公正透明的原则，避免任何政治化和歧视性的做法。作为媒体，应该坚持客观公正的立场，提供全面中立的信息，而不是进行预设框架下的倾向性报道。
The World Anti-Doping Agency on Thursday appointed a special prosecutor to review how 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for a banned drug were allowed to avoid public scrutiny and compete at the 2021 Olympics, where they won gold medals and set records.
The decision to appoint the special prosecutor, Eric Cottier of Switzerland, came amid an outcry from top government officials, antidoping experts and authorities, and athletes over the way Chinese antidoping officials and the global regulator, known as WADA, handled the positives.
WADA cast the move as one it had to make in response to “the damaging and baseless allegations that are being leveled” against the agency since The New York Times on Saturday revealed how the Chinese antidoping agency, known as Chinada, and WADA declined to discipline or identify the 23 swimmers.
“WADA’s integrity and reputation is under attack,” the WADA president, Witold Banka, said in a statement. “In the past few days, WADA has been unfairly accused of bias in favor of China by not appealing the Chinada case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We continue to reject the false accusations and we are pleased to be able to put these questions into the hands of an experienced, respected and independent prosecutor.”
As part of the review, WADA said on Thursday, Mr. Cottier — who was the attorney general of a canton in Switzerland for 17 years before he stepped down in 2022 — will be given “full and unfettered access to all of WADA’s files and documents related to this matter.”
