own backyard. the problem with us system is that the majority of american athletes 80%, up to 90% represent disciplines which are anti—doping code. this is huge wea kness anti—doping code. this is huge weakness on american anti—doping system. and i'm ready to assist in improving the situation. well we put all of macro ones to travis target. ——travis tygart who is the ceo of the united states anti—doping agency says wada have misunderstood how the law will be applied and that whistle—blowers will have protection. i think it'sjust nonsense and they obviously don't understand the bill. but this bill actually does is allows for federal protection with witness protection in the united states was up it's going to

incentivize states was up it's going to ince ntivize whistle— blowers because they finally have a refuge to go to that will provide them protection if they need it. it's not by chance that russian whistle— blowers they need it. it's not by chance that russian whistle—blowers and others that expose russia have led to the united states was up this will allow further efforts for whistle—blowers will allow further efforts for whistle— blowers to come will allow further efforts for whistle—blowers to come forward. it actually puts money and a wall behind ensuring their protection. the very opposite of what i think wada is trying to claim. i think they are just confused on the law is not intentionally trying to take the ioc not intentionally trying to take the 10c position and create fear mongering and scare tactics to politically try to deter people from supporting it. at the end of the day it has to be signed by the president. once it is hopefully wada will help co—ordinate if they choose to. it's ironic that their messaging oi'i to. it's ironic that their messaging on this is exactly the same as the russians. all this is trying to do is to protect the investment of us

money and us athletes and frankly, athletes from around the world that compete in these events at the rules are supposed to matter and be upheld. unfortunately that's not always the case was up when it's not the case if us money is involved they will be upheld. and will be held accountable. even if this does lead to some confusion as you claim it will definitely lead to overlapping laws in different jurisdictions instead of a single set of rules for all athletes and coaches and sponsors around the world. that's another sound bite from wada. i don't think it's accurate. it may provide a gap, it may fill a gap that currently exist. but there is frequently there is dual jurisdiction. but there is frequently there is dualjurisdiction. to be crystal clear, it doesn't apply to athletes. athletes will be held to the wada code and only the wada gold. where this comes in to fill the gap is where the wada code by macro ones choice does not apply to coach people in sport and others who are not accredited for the event. this

will come to fill that in. there is i'io will come to fill that in. there is no duplication whatsoever. this fills a gap. currently there is a whole but there frequently laws in oui’ whole but there frequently laws in our country, fever is a great example of it, it is not well as laws and other countries where they ove rla p. laws and other countries where they overlap. there is coordination there. this is going to incentivize coordination and also allow for countries to come together in a more robust way to ensure that those who are currently not held by the wada code because they chose not to be held by the wada code. and there are fio held by the wada code. and there are no other laws that are in play to have an effect and ultimately protect athletes and the public and broadcasters and investors into sport us money or the us governments money from being defrauded by these folks that hang on the edges and can't be held accountable. thank you very much. shocking claims of "systemic racism" within the english cricket board have led to former professionals

to call for a top—level inquiry. two former umpires claim racist language used in front of senior ecb staff, went unchallenged and that since they had retired from first class cricket more than a decade ago, no umpire of bame background had been appointed. katie gornall reports. this summer, cricket made a collective statement, joining global attempts to raise awareness about institutional racism in society. but not for the first time they met the domestic game is being urged to look closer to home and address its own lack of diversity. john holder spent nearly 30 years as a professional umpire before his retirement 11 years ago. since then, no non—white umpires have been elevated to the first—class umpires panel. he believes the england and wales cricket board is structurally racist. the fact that a few non—white umpires, several non—white umpires, have made enquiries about going on the first—class umpires panel

and non—have progressed, that looks to me more than suspicious. in a statement, the ecb said, today's group of professional holder has beenjoined by ismail dawood, former county cricket keeper and in calling for an investigation. there are systematic blockages that have been allowed to be put in place, and will still be put and kept in place, if they are not thoroughly investigated. we are having minimal representation of bame cricket players, bame coaches, umpires and officials, bame ceos. the barriers are far greater than non—bame. that's a fact.

these allegations come following azeem rafik‘s claim of institutional racism at his former club, yorkshire. english cricket is having to face some uncomfortable truths as it tries to increase diversity and prove that the game is a game for all. time to take a look at some of the other sports stories making headlines. manchester united has received your first call up for up to training camp. they would due to play norway on the 1st of november but that's been cancelled because of travel restrictions. england's georgia haul eagled herfirst hole at the saudi ladies team international. i knew event in the european tour. players are drafted nfl style. despite that fabulous shot at the 18th hall's team are down 30 second place some 1a shots behind the team they... fever has announced the club world cup will

need more studies, we need more studies. while they are doing that, the players are getting the help that they need. and they need it 110w. that they need. and they need it now. i can honestly say i've spoken to families of the 66 team who've obviously been suffering for top they've gone through the same thing that we have. the coroner said that aston died from having the ball. in the meantime there is been hundreds and hundreds maybe thousands of footballers who suffered with it and footballers who suffered with it and football has deliberately in my opinion, not dealt with it. because it would cost money. and it may affect the brand. why would he want to deal with a? why when you want to helping players? while they are saying we can't quite prove it 100% even though stewart's study last year it was pretty well conclusive, in my opinion, since the nothings been done for top study should definitely continue. because they need to know what effect it might be having on the younger players coming through now. but more importantly, right now today or tomorrow whenever, immediately they should be putting something in place to take ca re of

putting something in place to take care of these ex—players who suffered because of their careers. the pandemic has had a massive impact on all sport, but today, the culture secretary oliver dowden focused on football and the joint response in england to covid 19. the professional game is losing around £100million —a—month, it was one of the issues discussed in a virtual meeting. the return of fans was on the agenda, as well as diversity at the top level and the development of the women's game. our sports news correspondent laura scott has been across this story and joins us now. many of our viewers will want to know what was said about the potential return of fans? exactly. it wasn't so much what was said at the virtual
