A candidatura aos JO de Inverno de 2034 está a dar uma bela novela:
Salt Lake City will be an Olympics host again after the IOC formally awarded the 2034 Winter Games, while France was given the nod for the 2030 version

"Regarding the Salt Lake City bid, the IOC is angry about an ongoing US federal investigation of
suspected doping by Chinese swimmers who were allowed to compete at the Tokyo Games despite positive drug tests. The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) accepted Chinese explanations for the tests, and US officials are now investigating that decision under an anti-conspiracy law passed after the Russian doping scandal at the Sochi Winter Games.

The IOC president, Thomas Bach, wants to make sure Wada is the sole authority on Olympic doping cases, especially with the Summer Olympics headed to Los Angeles in 2028. The IOC added a clause to Salt Lake’s host contract, demanding that local organizers – including Utah’s governor, Spencer Cox – push to shut down the federal investigation or risk losing the Olympics."

"The IOC clause allows the Olympic body to terminate Salt Lake City’s deal if the authority of Wada is undermined on US territory.
Wada’s role is under scrutiny for accepting a Chinese investigation that declared all 23 of its swimmers were contaminated by traces of a banned heart medication in a hotel kitchen. Three Chinese gold medals in the Tokyo Olympic pool were won by swimmers implicated in the case. Some are also competing in Paris next week."
