This bill gives the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy expanded authority to oversee America's relationship with the World Anti-Doping Agency and ensure the organization meets governance standards. Within 90 days of the bill's enactment, the office must determine whether the World Anti-Doping Agency has independent governance, proper conflict-of-interest policies, and decision-making roles for independent athletes from democratic countries. If the agency falls short on any of these criteria, the United States can withhold its full membership dues as leverage and must issue a report within 180 days explaining the barriers to fair U.S. representation. The bill also requires the office to submit spending plans to Congress at least 30 days before sending any funds to the World Anti-Doping Agency. Overall, the legislation aims to strengthen U.S. influence over anti-doping efforts globally by conditioning financial support on organizational reforms and increased participation by independent athletes.
