Earlier, World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Honorary President and International Olympic Committee member Richard Pound pointed out that the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) could be stripped of its compliance status with the World Anti-Doping Agency Code due to the application of the “Rodchenkov Act,” which the United States used to investigate the positive doping tests of 23 Chinese swimmers. According to Pound, this could lead to the United States being stripped of its right to host major international competitions, including the 2028 and 2034 Olympic Games.
“The United States has long outgrown its authority in world sports and beyond. I know Pound, he is an influential person, but his opinion is unlikely to be decisive in this matter. However, the very idea of depriving the United States. The right of states to host the Olympic Games is interesting,” Fetissov said.
