US Anti-Doping Agency Reauthorization: Funding, Due Process, and Youth Sports Focus.

This law reauthorizes the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and significantly increases its funding through 2030 to strengthen anti-doping efforts. It mandates that USADA dedicate resources to promoting positive values in youth sports, such as integrity and teamwork, through educational programs for athletes, parents, and coaches. Crucially, it ensures that all athletes facing anti-doping enforcement actions are guaranteed due process protections.
Key points
Increased federal funding for USADA through 2030 to strengthen anti-doping efforts domestically and internationally, supporting preparation for the 2028 Olympics.
New requirement for USADA to use funds to provide educational materials promoting sportsmanship and character building in youth sports.
Guarantees due process protections for any person subject to USADA investigations, disciplinary actions, or sanctions.
