Athlete Files Complaint Against Olympic Ombuds

Last week a nationally-ranked American badminton player , Mathew Fogarty, filed a complaint against the U.S. United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee Athlete Ombudsman, Kacie Wallace. Fogarty, a frequent critic of his sport's national governing board, claimed that Wallace improperly gave legal advice to USA Badminton when he complained about being disqualified for the 2019 Pan American Games. The USOPC Director for Athlete Outreach and Engagement promised to investigate the complaint. (Long Beach Press-Telegram.)
