Can Olympics officials get doping under control?
Manage episode 429943751 series 1728074
Athletes have lost faith in the World Anti-Doping Agency, also known as Wada. That’s what we heard from Michael Phelps, the U.S. Olympian with the most medals in history. Phelps made the statement during Congressional testimony he gave in June referring to drug tests given in the leadup to the 2021 games in Tokyo which found that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance. Eleven of those swimmers will be competing this summer in Paris. Is there any way to restore faith that the Paris Olympics will be fair, or is the taking of banned substances simply the new normal? USA TODAY Sports Columnist Christine Brennan joins The Excerpt to discuss how officials are handling the issue and what to expect next.
