Bill would let Congress fire USOPC board and boost SafeSport funding
A bill introduced by Senators Blumenthal and Moran would give Congress authority to remove the USOPC board, raise athlete representation, and triple funds to the U S Center for SafeSport to 20 million a year with 15 million additional unspecified funding. The measure targets improved reporting and prevention of abuse following Nassar era scandals and aligns with a broad reset of the Ted Stevens Amateur Sports Act to strengthen Olympic governance and athlete welfare.
