LA 2028 Olympics Under Scrutiny Over Leadership Ties and Transit Delays

As Los Angeles gears up for the 2028 Summer Games, leadership questions dog LA28 after Epstein-related disclosures about chairman Casey Wasserman and calls for his resignation, while IOC concerns over sponsorship and optics persist. Compounding worries are infrastructure delays, notably the LAX People Mover now slated for late 2026 and a lagging D Line extension, as the city pursues a “no-build Olympics” using existing venues. LA lists 28 projects to complete by 2028, about a third of which are finished. The plan includes expanding soccer to six U.S. cities, including a Rose Bowl finale, and officials say they’re studying Milan-Cortina for lessons, even as critics warn the timeline remains tight.
