Central Asia Could Be Birthplace of the Modern Dog
The DNA analysis of a large and diverse group of dogs led researchers to determine that the most recent common ancestors of today’s dogs lived in Central Asia.
"Dr.
Boyko said the research for the first time studied three sources of DNA
from purebred and village dogs worldwide. The team analyzed DNA from
all the chromosomes in the cell nucleus, from the Y chromosome
specifically, found only in males, and from mitochondria, cellular
energy machines outside the nucleus that are inherited from the mother.
Dr.
Boyko traveled to a number of the locations where blood was drawn from
village dogs. He said: “The great thing about working with dogs is that
if you show up with food you don’t usually have trouble recruiting
subjects. Usually.”
He
added: “We showed up in Puerto Rico at a fishing village and the dogs
turned up their noses at roast beef sandwiches. They were used to eating
fish entrails.”"Dr. Boyko is probably correct.
People wander.

Olympic leaders meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, agreed to make drug testing independent of sports organizations and are asking the World Anti-Doping Agency to take over responsibility for testing on a global level.Agency in the name tells the audience that the World Antidoping Agency is dependent
on another organization.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Anti-Doping_Agency
"The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA; French: Agence mondiale antidopage) is a foundation created through a collective initiative led by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was set up on November 10, 1999 in Lausanne, Switzerland, as a result of what was called the "Declaration of Lausanne",[1] to promote, coordinate and monitor the fight against drugs in sports. Since 2002, the organization's headquarters have been located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada."
The I.O.C. has given the responsibility to itself.
