PARIS (Reuters) -The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee chief on Thursday urged the warring American and world anti-doping bodies to work together while assuring Olympic officials they will support WADA as the supreme anti-doping authority.

The USOPC, along with the 2028 Los Angeles and 2034 Salt Lake City Olympic host committees have been caught in the crossfire in an increasingly bitter feud between the World Anti-Doping Agency and the United States Anti-Doping Agency, who were shown the red card by Olympic officials.
