Congress Approves Anti-Doping Bill
 
 
“As the author of the Amateur Sports Act which helped set a new course for amateur athletics, I am pleased that Congress has now agreed to legislation to help ensure that athletic competitions are fair and drug-free,” said Senator Stevens.  “The use of performance enhancing drugs is unfair to athletes who are drug-free.”
 
The Anti-Doping section of H.R. 6344 designates the United States Anti-Doping Agency to: (1) serve as the independent anti-doping organization for the amateur athletic competitions recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee; (2) ensure that athletes participating in such competitions are prevented from using performance-enhancing drugs; (3) implement anti-doping education, research, testing, and adjudication programs to prevent U.S. amateur athletes from using performance-enhancing drugs; and (4) serve as the U.S. representative for coordination with other anti-doping organizations coordinating amateur athletic competitions. The legislation would authorize continued federal funding for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which is responsible for ensuring that U.S. athletes participating in the Olympics are not using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.
