Mission Statement: (See Web Site For Updated Information)
USADA MISSION
USADA is dedicated to preserving the well being of Olympic sport, the integrity of competition, and ensuring the health of athletes.
USADA FOCUS
USADA focuses on four primary areas. They are:
Research
Because research is the cornerstone of an effective anti-doping program, USADA allocates 2 million annually toward the study of prohibited substances, the development of tests, and other issues involved with the practice of doping in sport. This commitment to research exceeds that of any other anti-doping agency in the world.
Education
Focusing on ethics involved with the use of performance-enhancing substances and the associated health risks, USADAs education program seeks to inform both elite athletes and those participating in sport at a young age of the dangers and consequences of using prohibited substances. In addition, USADA education makes concerted efforts to inform athletes about policies, procedures, and athletes rights and responsibilities with respect to doping control.
Testing
USADA is responsible for managing both In- and Out-of-Competition testing for athletes in the U.S. Olympic Movement including Olympic, Pan American, and Paralympic athletes. A major goal in testing is to achieve quality and consistency in the collection process and prompt, efficient handling of results.
Results Management
USADAs adjudication process was designed to eliminate the conflicts of interest inherent with the involvement of National Governing Bodies (NGBs) in prosecuting and sanctioning their own athletes, and to simplify procedures and reduce the time and financial burdens associated with appeals. USADAs adjudication system relies on arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association (AAA)/Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) under modified AAA commercial rules, which have been agreed to by the relevant stakeholders.
