New comments from Utah members of Congress, present and past, suggest the contract to bring the Olympics back to Utah, signed just a week ago, is not a perfect
Olympic rings are pictured Wednesday, July 24, 2024, in Salt Lake City, while people gather to watch a live stream from Paris as the International Olympic Committee awards Salt Lake City the 2034 Winter Olympics.
Congressman John Curtis, through his chief of staff, said he's "deeply concerned by reports that the International Olympic Committee pressed Utah officials to sign agreements that could hinder a federal investigation into doping." That seems at odds with what the IOC apparently insisted be inserted in the contract — that the entity it established, the World Anti-Doping Agency, would be "supreme" and "respected" in the U.S., or it could take back what has already been given: the Olympics in Utah in 2034.But former Congressman Chris Stewart told 2News he would have insisted on further negotiations to remove the language.
