WADA weighs banning U.S. officials from LA 2028 over unpaid dues
The World Anti-Doping Agency is considering a rules change to bar U.S. government officials from attending the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as part of sanctions for unpaid dues, a move that could also affect the 2026 World Cup hosted by the U.S.; the plan envisions a three-tier sanctions framework, but practical enforcement and timing remain uncertain, with the U.S. having withheld dues for years and even losing its seat on WADA’s executive committee.
