In testimony they will give before Congress on Tuesday, Olympians and the leader of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency express frustration at the current anti-doping system.
Michael Phelps is among five who will testify before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. The hearing, Ways to Improve and Strengthen the International Anti-Doping System, comes as the sport and anti-doping world have dealt with a Russian doping scandal that has led to repeated calls for change.
“Throughout my career, I have suspected that some athletes were cheating and in some cases those suspicions were confirmed,” Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with 28 medals, wrote in his witness statement.
