Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Background

Averted WADA sanction

In February 2024, the delegation was put at risk of facing a ban on using the Angolan flag at the Games after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) tagged the Angolan Olympic Committee for non-compliance with doping regulations. [1] [2] The issue would be resolved by July 5, 2024, 3 weeks before the start of the Olympics, when the WADA cleared Angola. [3]
