Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.International athletics officials have launched an investigation into a fight which broke out when a drug tester tried to take urine samples from Greek athletes in Germany last week. The International Amateur Athletic Federation said yesterday it was studying a report from one of its drug testers, who alleges he was pushed about by an angry Greek coach when he was trying to carry out random training tests in Dortmund. The doping official was unable to take any urine samples for analysis and the Greek athletes could face a four-year ban if they are found guilty of having refused to provide them - the equivalent of testing positive for banned substances under IAAF rules.
Zola Pieterse, the two-time former world champion, will aim to complete a hat-trick in next month's World Cross-country Championships in Italy. Pieterse - who won the title as a teenage Zola Budd running for Britain in 1984 and 1985 - has been named in the South African squad to contest the event in Turin on 23 March.
