MANILA, Philippines: Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Richard Bachmann expressed optimism that the country's issue with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will soon be resolved and not affect the participation of the national team in various international competitions including the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Bachmann said that while the Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization is a separate private entity, the government sports agency is providing the necessary assistance for PHI-NADO – the local anti-doping agency – to address the things required by WADA.
