Plain-English summary
Restoring Confidence to the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2022
This bill modifies the authority of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) with respect to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Specifically, the ONDCP, in conjunction with USADA, must
- use all available tools to ensure that WADA maintains a proper conflict-of-interest policy and that independent athletes from the United States and other democratic countries, or representatives of such athletes, have voting positions on the Executive Committee and governing bodies of WADA;
- demonstrate leadership within the global community;
- have strict standards that work toward countering the state-sponsored doping system of the Russian Federation and other state-sponsored, systemic fraud through doping; and
- work collaboratively with democratic countries.
The bill requires the United States to have at least one seat on the Executive Committee of WADA as a condition of its participation in WADA.
