U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Olympians voted to recommend boycotting February’s world championships in Sochi if the event is not relocated out of the doping-tainted nation, according to The New York Times.
U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton’s athlete advisory committee voted unanimously in recent days, according to the report. Listed members of the committee include Olympic medalists Elana Meyers Taylor (bobsled) and Matthew Antoine (skeleton) and skeleton Olympian Kyle Tress.
“There’s tremendous support to skip this event, and I think it’s the right decision,” Tress said, according to the report.
