WADA revoked accreditation for the anti-doping lab in Bloemfontein, South Africa, “due to its inability to satisfactorily address multiple nonconformities.”The lab has been suspended since September 2023 for issues including detecting steroids in athlete samples.

WADA has accredited a network of about 30 labs worldwide and samples collected in Africa can be transported to testers in India, Qatar, Portugal, Spain and Turkey.Collecting samples from remote athlete training centers and transporting them long distances increases the risk they will degrade and be unusable for testing.ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — A newly created regulatory body for gold exports from Ghana announced Monday that foreigners would no longer be allowed to buy or trade artisanaly mined gold in the country, Africa’s biggest gold producer.

Starting May 1, gold must be bought with licenses from the new Ghana Gold Board, also known as GoldBod, according to a statement from the new body. Licenses previously issued by the Precious Minerals Marketing Co., which used to market minerals produced in the country, will no longer be valid.The statement said beginning next month no entity can purchase or deal in gold in the country apart from GoldBod, which was created to oversee gold trading and maximize revenue from its export.

Under the law, GoldBod becomes the sole buyer, seller, assayer and exporter of all gold produced by licensed small-scale miners in Ghana, and those who do so without a license from the board will be charged criminally.

Traditionally, local and foreign companies with export licenses had been able to buy and export gold from small-scale Ghanaian miners.Whatever happens next, James’ surgery offers scientists an unprecedented window into how the human eye tries to heal.

Instead, when Rodriguez propped open James’ left eyelid last month, the donated hazel-colored eye was as plump and full of fluid as his own blue eye. Doctors see good blood flow and no sign of rejection.
