COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The U.S. Olympic Committee has dismissed a complaint by former U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Hope Solo that accused the U.S. Soccer Federation of illegally favoring Major League Soccer.
Solo filed the complaint in January when she was among the candidates running for USSF president, a race she lost the following month to Carlos Cordeiro.
In a ruling signed Tuesday and released Thursday, a panel of three arbitrators ruled Solo had failed to pursue and exhaust her claims within the USSF grievance process, a necessary step under the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act.
