USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland condemned what she called “horrific acts” at the Capitol last Wednesday and mentioned reports that a retired U.S. Olympic swimming champion was involved.
Klete Keller, a five-time Olympic medalist, was reportedly identified by several former teammates and coaches who saw video and images of a man walking in the building wearing a U.S. Olympic team jacket.
“As we wait for law enforcement to confirm the identity of the individual and determine necessary action, and then evaluate any appropriate actions of our own, I want to share the following thoughts with our Olympic and Paralympic community,” Hirshland said in a statement.
