_______________________________________________________________________

                                 AN ACT

 
  To reauthorize the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and for other 
                               purposes.

    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.
