Controversy
In 2024, the Committee nominated beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde for its 2024 Olympic team, disregarding the fact that he is a convicted child rapist and has been placed on the sex offender registry in the United Kingdom for life since 2016.[4] The Committee stood by their nomination despite his criminal record for sex crimes and even after the outcry from the British and American public, asserting that van de Velde has "served his sentence".[5]
