Olympic champion Katie Ledecky says faith in the anti-doping system is at an “all-time low” in the wake of the way global regulators handled a case involving Chinese swimmers
. The seven-time Olympic gold medalist is looking to add to her haul this summer in Paris. In an interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning” that will air Sunday, Ledecky expressed concern that she and many others won't be competing on a level playing field at what could be her fourth Olympics in France. “It’s hard going into Paris knowing that we’re going to be racing some of these athletes,” said Ledecky, who will be at U.S. Olympic trials starting June 15.
The World Anti-Doping Agency accepted that explanation, saying in part that it had very little chance of winning an appeal had it opened a case. Ledecky, whose six individual Olympic golds is a women's record, said “it doesn’t seem like everything was followed to a ‘T'' regarding the handling of the case. “I'd like to see some accountability here,” she said. “I’d like to see some answers as to why this happened the way it did.
