U.S. Lawmakers Accuse Olympic Leaders of Blackmail Over Salt Lake City 2034 Winter Olympics and WADA
Jul 30, 2024, 06:13 PM
U.S. lawmakers have accused Olympic leaders of blackmail over the awarding of the 2034 Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City. The controversy centers around allegations that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) threatened to revoke Utah's bid unless investigations into doping by Chinese swimmers were halted. In response, Representatives John Moolenaar, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Marsha Blackburn, and Chris Van Hollen introduced the Restoring Confidence to the World Anti-Doping Agency Act, which aims to ensure WADA maintains stricter standards. The lawmakers, from both sides of the aisle, argue that Olympic leaders are leveraging the promise of the games to manipulate U.S. policy and funding for WADA.
