COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The leader of the U.S. Olympic Committee is calling on his international counterparts to act immediately on allegations of Russian doping, with now less than four months until the start of the Winter Games.
“The time for action is now,” Scott Blackmun, the CEO of the USOC, said in an address to the USOC Assembly.
In his speech Thursday to more than 200 members of the U.S. Olympic community, Blackmun said, “it is beyond frustrating” that no action has been taken on the now-15-month-old McLaren report, which documented a Russian doping system that tainted the Sochi Winter Games in 2014.
