The American fencing team is not happy to have Alen Hadzic representing the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics.
Almost immediately after making it on to the roster, the 29-year-old was accused of sexual misconduct between 2013 and 2015 by three women.
Hadzic denies the allegations and successfully appealed a suspension that would have kept him off the U.S. team.
On Friday, the men s team conveyed their displeasure to the world, wearing pink face masks in support of sexual assault victims. It made for a striking image as Jake Hoyle, Curtis McDowald and Yeisser Ramirez appeared in the light-colored masks, while Hadzic was the odd-man-out in black.
