The World Association of Athletics Federations (WADA) is considering barring the United States President from attending the Los Angeles Olympics over unpaid dues. The proposal was discovered through correspondence between WADA and European officials involved in the agency's decision-making. Critics, including former WADA executive committee member Rahul Gupta, argue that the $50-million-budget Swiss foundation could not enforce this rule. The rule would apply to governments that have not paid dues by Jan. 31 of the year after they're billed, with the U.S. not paying its dues since 2023. WADA suggests it could move quickly but the impact on upcoming World Cup is uncertain.
