Top USADA lawyer representing Trump in election case as Rodchenkov Act awaits presidential signature

The president of the United States this week filed suit in federal court in Milwaukee seeking to overturn the results of the November presidential election results in Wisconsin, one of a number of key states won by president-elect Joe Biden.

And this has to do with the Olympic world — how?

In a turn that perhaps not even a Hollywood scriptwriter might dream up, the president’s lawyer in the Wisconsin case, William Bock III, was until recently — very recently — publicly general counsel for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

Connecting the dots, the president is now being represented by the same lawyer who until days ago was the very capable chief litigator for USADA at the very same time the highly controversial Rodchenkov Act, which USADA has ferociously championed, sits on the president’s desk, awaiting the president’s signature.

Does this seem appropriate?
