On August 9th local time, Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), held a press conference to summarize the success of the Paris Olympics and emphasized the importance of protecting the rights of clean athletes in relation to future Olympics to be held in the United States - the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics and the 2034 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
At the press conference, reporters asked Bach about the threat that the US anti-doping laws, which are independent of the world anti-doping framework, may pose to clean athletes. Bach made it clear that the key to this issue is to respect the supreme authority of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Bach pointed out that the IOC has always called on all parties to respect the authority of WADA, and that the IOC has entrusted the anti-doping work to the International Testing Agency (ITA) and the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Bach said that the IOC has full confidence in WADA's work and expects all parties concerned to reach a consensus through dialogue to ensure that athletes around the world can compete in a fair environment and be treated fairly.
This speech further clarified the IOC's position on anti-doping work, which is to maintain the authority and unity of WADA, while ensuring that all athletes participating in the Olympics can compete fairly without discrimination.#Olympic Hundreds of Comments#
