_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To reauthorize the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and for other

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``United States Anti-Doping Agency
Reauthorization Act of 2021''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The United States Anti-Doping Agency--
(A) is the independent national anti-doping
organization of the United States; and
(B) manages the anti-doping program, results
management processes, drug reference resources, and
athlete education for all United States Olympic
Committee-recognized national governing bodies and the
athletes and events of such national governing bodies.
(2) The United States Anti-Doping Agency contributes to the
advancement of clean sport through scientific research, anti-
doping education, and outreach programs, and the mission of the
United States Anti-Doping Agency is to preserve the integrity
of competition and protect the rights of athletes.
(3) Participation in youth sports has the potential to
equip young athletes with important skills and values necessary
for success in life, and it is essential that the culture of
youth sports emphasizes such skills and values.
(4) The TrueSport program of the United States Anti-Doping
Agency partners with youth sport organizations across the
United States to promote sportsmanship, character building, and
healthy performance through the use of targeted educational
materials designed to promote a positive youth sport
experience.
(5) In modifying the authority of the United States Anti-
Doping Agency to include the promotion of the positive values
of youth sport, Congress sends a strong signal that the goals
of youth sport should include instilling in young athletes the
values of integrity, respect, teamwork, courage, and
responsibility.
(6) Due to the unique leadership position of the United
States in the global community, adequate funding of the anti-
doping and clean sport programs of the United States Anti-
Doping Agency is imperative to the preparation for the 2028
Summer Olympic Games, which will be held in Los Angeles,
California.
(7) Increased appropriations for fiscal years 2022 through
2030 would enable the United States Anti-Doping Agency to
directly affect the integrity and well-being of sport, both
domestically and internationally.
