I had heard of them before, but thought they were simply making sure to harrass our olympic athletes, which you could stretch an argument to say, since they compete for our government, that the government has a compelling reason to keep them clean (also, the olympics may require that a government have a testing authority in place).
This was the first time I’d seen them asserting a right to investigate a retired athlete for things done in foreign countries years ago.
“...within his first 10 days.”
...within Romney/Ryan’s first 10 days.

But our Olympic athletes don’t compete for our government. All these agreements and arrangements such as racing licenses are more akin to contracts between individuals and associations of individuals. USA Cycling is not part of the U.S government. Even the United States Olympic Committee isn’t part of the U.S. government.
