Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2025

S 233, the "Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2025," requires the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy to ensure the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has fair U.S. representation and governance reforms. It mandates a 90-day review to assess WADA’s governance model, conflict-of-interest policies, and inclusion of independent athletes (defined as those not affiliated with major sports bodies) in decision-making roles. If reforms are lacking, the U.S. may withhold full membership dues and issue a report detailing barriers to U.S. representation on WADA’s Executive Committee, Foundation Board, and committees. The bill directly affects U.S. participation in WADA governance and aims to strengthen U.S. influence in anti-doping standards.
