What happened at the Olympics this year was SUCH a SHAM. Individual athletes who are clean should have been allowed to complete as neutrals but the ‘Athletes from Russia’ compromise was made because Putin is best friends with the German head of the IOC. Forgot his name.
The whistleblowers are still in exile...not including the two who were killed in Russia.
This Bill sounds like petty Imperialism.
The article seems to be to remind us that “Russia did it”.
Oh yeah, Trump is soft on Putin.
“The bill being considered in the House is stronger because it would allow the United States to police doping that occurs outside its borders. U.S. and foreign athletes would be subject to the law if competing in an event that includes four or more U.S. athletes and athletes from three or more countries. “
So if you happen to be competing against US athletes, anywhere on earth, and you use some banned steroid or performance enhancing substance, we now claim universal rights to arrest? Arrest any athlete from any nation on earth and have them extradited here? And they are subject to US law because US athletes were participants in their game?
It seems to be the mission of DC to make us the most hated nation on earth.
