At the start of a visit to Britain, president Obama has repeated his support for the country remaining in the European Union ahead of a referendum in June. In an article for the Daily Telegraph, Mr Obama said membership of the EU magnifies Britain's influence. He also implies that if Britain left the EU, it would be less able to tackle terrorism, the migration 4 crisis and economic problems. Mr Obama has defended his right to comment on the issue despite criticism from some senior British figures campaigning to leave the EU. 

在访问英国时，美国总统奥巴马重申他支持英国继续留在欧盟，在6月全民公投之前。在今天的每日电讯报文章中，奥巴马总统称英国加入欧盟将扩大其影响力。他还暗示如果英国脱离欧盟，不利于西方世界更好地应对恐怖主义，不利于解决迁移危机和经济问题。尽管英国的一些“脱欧派”不欢迎奥巴马对英国的事情指手画脚，但奥巴马总统坚决捍卫自己评论该问题的权利。

The World Anti-doping Agency WADA has suspended accreditation 5 of China's anti-doping laboratory for up to 4 months after it fails to meet with international standards. More details from Nicolas Russia. WADA had been investigating recent claims that China's sporting authorities had covered up positive drug tests of five swimmers to avoid a scandal ahead of this month's Olympic trials. Two of the tests are believed to have been failed in October and the other three this year. Earlier this month, WADA stripped a Moscow laboratory of its right to test athletes samples after it too allegedly failed to meet international standards. Russian athletes are currently suspended from international track and field events because of the failures in the country's anti-doping program.
