Instead of reexamining a drug-fighting law Olympic leaders don't like, a bipartisan group in Congress is threatening to withhold money.
Thomas Bach, President of the IOC , speaks in Paris, France, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics , Friday, July 26, 2024. Instead of reexamining a drug-fighting law Olympic leaders don't like, a bipartisan group in Congress is proposing a new bill that would hold back funding for the World Anti-Doping Agency if it doesn't do its job better.
WADA largely supported the IOC position, threatening last week that it might hold America's anti-doping agency in noncompliance if it finds the law does not conform with international rules. The bill's other co-sponsors are Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill. “Since my term on the WADA , athlete representation has been increasingly marginalized and misrepresented,” said two-time Paralympian Greta Neimanas, who served from 2017-20.
