Though its outlook is far broader than the biggest anti-doping investigation in the history of Australian sport, WADA has since agreed a memorandum of understanding with the General Administration of Sport of China, which it says will significantly improve how authorities track the manufacture and export of substances banned in sport.

The alliance will see WADA and Interpol feed intelligence to Chinese law enforcement bodies that, in theory, will then target and dismantle illegal manufacturers and suppliers of performance-enhancing drugs in China.

WADA is certain information from the Chinese agencies will lead to investigations and arrests of buyers from abroad.

Sports anti-doping authorities such as ASADA will be better informed, which will likely lead to more probes around rule violations, WADA says.

WADA director-general David Howman – who is travelling to Australia before the CAS hearing of the Essendon players' cases – said on Wednesday the new partnership would provide information "of huge value to sports and anti-doping authorities, which are then able to pursue anti-doping rule violations that may have been committed by athletes, or their entourage".

"There is tremendous potential in sharing information and investigating the trafficking of doping substances – with organisations that have the power to reduce and eliminate the illegal manufacture and supply of PEDs and raw materials that result in PEDs – in a country that faces a problem with the illegal sale and exportation of banned substances," Howman said.

It will be a struggle, just on current performance.

Jfyi roughly 80% of the pharma product (either finished or raw materials) comes from Chinese factories today. There is a big issue with smaller manufacturers making product outside patent for the black markets in Africa and South America. The most high profile has been the AIDS meds, but the uglier one is malaria meds.

Because of illegal factories manufacturing low dose malaria meds, we are seeing current full strength meds lose their effectiveness in the field as the low dose ones actually help the strains gain an immunity to them.

Reason I mention all of this is this is killing people, and the govt is struggling to track down and close these guys (China is just so ******* big, it's easy for shadow factories to hide and relocate). If they are struggling on something that is causing deaths, I don't think they would be doing any better on something that influences who wins a gold

hardly - this is just China trying to reassure the world it should remain the supplier of choice for most pharma raw mats

Yes - I would imagine that having one of the bigger, more legitimate Pharma Co's being accused of not supplying what was ordered at an international tribunal, could be seen as damaging reputations!

These guys are not at that tier, or anywhere near it

you have pretty much every major pharma company in the world operating out of china. They don't give a s**t about some nobody making peptides, its the guys in medicines and regulated items which is what they are concerned about

I used to work for a company that makes most of the items discussed on this board. I can tell you right now the volume of this stuff sold is minor compared to everything else
