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.
