Alen Hadzic, a fencer under investigation for sexual misconduct, has made USA Fencing’s 2022 Senior World Team, according to the organization.
In a recent news release announcing members 2022 Senior World Team, USA Fencing said, "We understand that many in the USA Fencing community will question Alen Hadzic’s inclusion on our 2022 Senior World Team, given that he is still under investigation by the U.S. Center for SafeSport – an independent body separate from USA Fencing," USA Fencing said in the news release.
Hadzic’s presence as an alternate on the U.S. men’s epee team last summer at Olympics in Tokyo prompted a backlash from several of his teammates and others in the fencing community.
