Moolenaar, Krishnamoorthi on Phelps, Schmitt, Tygart Testimony on PRC Doping

WASHINGTON, D.C. —  Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party released the below statement following the testimony of Olympians at the House Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday evening on PRC doping in the 2021 Olympic games.

"The recent New York Times reporting and the compelling testimony of Michael Phelps, Allison Schmitt, and Travis Tygart at the Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday raises further questions about the actions of the China Anti-Doping Agency and its complicity in the alleged doping practices of PRC athletes. This sort of behavior cannot be tolerated by the international athletic community. As our inquiry into these practices continues, the Select Committee looks forward to the Justice Department’s briefing and investigation into this matter. Amid this controversy, we celebrate the American athletes who are competing cleanly, with integrity, and in the spirit of the Olympic games.”
