US Oversight Boost: Ensuring WADA Governance and Athlete Representation.

This law expands the authority of the US Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to enforce governance reforms within the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The goal is to ensure WADA adopts independent governance, fair US representation, and decision-making roles for independent athletes. If WADA fails to meet these standards, the US government gains the power to withhold funding to protect the integrity of global sports.
Key points
Increased Scrutiny: ONDCP must ensure WADA implements independent governance and strict conflict-of-interest policies.
Athlete Power: WADA must grant independent athletes from the US and democratic countries decision-making roles in its key committees and boards.
Financial Leverage: If WADA does not comply with reforms, the US may voluntarily withhold its membership dues, using funding as a tool for accountability.
