Sealed from the rest of Beijing in a "Closed-loop" bubble, over 200 American athletes are receiving daily COVID screening for the Winter Olympics.
Some experts worry that U.S. Olympians' DNA might be collected by the Chinese Communist Party.
Patricia Adams, executive director of Canada-based non-profit Probe International, said "It's a very likely possibility" that the CCP will be collecting top-performing athletes' DNA at the Games.
According to Yates, CCP may use the massive data set to give their athletes a competitive advantage or increase opportunities for psychological warfare.
The Winter Olympics is set to open in Beijing on Feb 4.
The U.S. athletes arrived in Beijing on the evening of Jan. 28, and were sent straight to hotels situated in a closed-loop system surrounded by wire fences.
Beijing's Olympic organizers on Jan. 29 denied reports that they may potentially manipulate COVID test results, saying that the tests are up to international standards, according to state media China Daily.
