This bill modifies federal oversight of the World Anti-Doping Agency by giving the Office of National Drug Control Policy new authority to ensure the organization meets specific governance standards. Within 90 days of enactment, the government must determine whether the World Anti-Doping Agency has independent governance, fair representation of the United States, and decision-making roles for independent athletes from democratic countries. If these standards are not met, the Office of National Drug Control Policy can withhold U.S. membership dues to the agency and must issue a report within 180 days explaining barriers to fair U.S. participation. The bill also requires the agency to submit spending plans to Congress 30 days before making any payments to the World Anti-Doping Agency, and it updates definitions to include Paralympic athletes alongside Olympic athletes in anti-doping discussions.
