Team USA Athletes' Commission Statement Regarding Recent Report on the World Anti-Doping Agency
by Team USA Athletes' Commission
Team USA Athletes’ Commission (Team USA AC) is disheartened and angry, but honestly, not surprised by yet additional allegations of wide-ranging failures by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), as reported by The New York Times on Friday. According to the report, WADA lost track of close to a thousand drug testing samples prior to the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, which likely allowed athletes under investigation to compete, despite having violated WADA policies and Olympic and Paralympic values.
This comes after several highly publicized WADA failures earlier this year. As the voice of Team USA athletes, Team USA AC demands immediate changes to WADA and encourages our partners around the world to join us in that effort. We need clean and fair sports, and Team USA AC will continue to advocate to ensure the utmost integrity in all competitions
