Enhanced US opposes dismissal of antitrust claims over athlete boycott
( October 10, 2025, 15:43 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Enhanced US opposed the World Anti-Doping Agency's motion to dismiss its antitrust claims over an allegedly anticompetitive boycott of athletes that compete in its league, arguing that WADA's attempts to escape the jurisdiction of the US antitrust laws fail.
