US EditionWADA to weigh barring Trump, US officials from LA Olympics and possibly World Cup over unpaid dues
- Considering a new enforcement step, WADA could put a proposal on Tuesday's agenda to bar U.S. officials from major sports events, including President Donald Trump, amid ongoing disputes.
- The disagreement traces to the U.S. withholding dues, which stems from the U.S. government's refusal to pay $7.3 million over 2024 and 2025; WADA has examined this since 2020.
- Under WADA's signatory system tied to UNESCO agreements, WADA spokesman James Fitzgerald said, 'not be applied retroactively', raising concerns about coverage for upcoming events.
- The U.S. currently has no representative on WADA's executive committee, and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called the proposal 'Further proof we're doing the right thing by demanding accountability and defunding WADA'.
- WADA, founded 1999, considers a rule that could prevent President Trump and US officials from participating in major events like this summer's World Cup, LA 2028, and Utah 2034, amid bipartisan disapproval and US dues withholding.
