Liberia competed at the2004 Summer Olympics inAthens,Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004.
Clemenceau Urey began serving as the president of theLiberia National Olympic Committee (LNOC) in 2000.[2] In late 2003, Urey was impeached as president and expelled as a member by the executive committee.[3] This was following the misuse of aid money from theInternational Olympic Committee (IOC). The misuse of funds triggered mutual accusations of financial impropriety between Urey and the executive committee.[4] By June 2004, a group of Liberian athletes threatened to boycott that year's Summer Olympics if Urey wasn't reinstated as LNOC president. The group was led byKouty Mawenh,Sayon Cooper, andBill Rogers.[5] Mawenh also served as a liaison between the IOC and LNOC.[4] In the 2004 Summer Olympics, Liberia would ultimately only present two competitors, one man and one woman.[6] Mawenh would attribute the lack of Liberian representation to Urey's removal.[4]
Liberian athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event at the 'A' Standard, and 1 at the 'B' Standard).[7][8]
