  Several sporting events, including the Paris 2024 Olympics, the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Ivory Coast, the Copa America and Euros, among others, took place in 2024. The year 2024 will always be a memorable one for sports fans around the world.

The article from MSN Sports discusses six major controversies that impacted the sports world in 2024. It highlights the ongoing doping scandal involving Chinese swimmers, where 23 athletes were cleared to compete in the Tokyo Olympics despite testing positive for trimetazidine, a banned substance, due to alleged contamination. This issue has led to significant backlash and calls for transparency from anti-doping agencies. Additionally, the article covers the turmoil in gymnastics with the U.S. Center for SafeSport facing criticism for its handling of abuse allegations, leading to a loss of trust among athletes. The piece also touches on the financial and ethical issues in college sports, particularly the NCAA's handling of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, causing a divide in how athletes can profit from their personal brand. Furthermore, it addresses the controversy surrounding transgender athletes, with World Athletics and World Aquatics implementing policies that exclude transgender women from competing in women's elite events, sparking debates on fairness and inclusion. Lastly, the article mentions the political and social unrest affecting sports events, like the cancellation of the World Beach Games due to political instability in Bali, and the broader implications of sports governance and athlete rights.
