OS i Paris 2024-Dopingtråden

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday introduced legislation that would withhold funding from the world anti-doping body amid allegations that it has helped cover up rampant anabolic steroid use by Chinese swimmers competing at the Olympic Games.

The legislation would modify existing appropriations arrangements to allow the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy to withhold the $3.7 million the United States gives annually to the World Anti-Doping Agency, which is the most provided by any member country.

Det största namnet som offentligt meddelat sitt intresse att delta är australiern James Magnussen, tidigare VM-guldmedaljör i simning. Till BBC säger Magnussen att han ska försöka slå världsrekord på 50 meter frisim när Enhanced Games blir av.

– Jag ska dopa mig till tänderna och sen slå rekordet sex månader senare.
