(B) manages the anti-doping program, re-
sults management processes, drug reference re-
sources, 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 con-
tributes to the advancement of clean sport through 
scientific research, anti-doping education, and out-
reach programs, and the mission of the United 
States Anti-Doping Agency is to preserve the integ-
rity of competition and protect the rights of athletes. 
(3) Participation in youth sports has the poten-
tial to equip young athletes with important skills 
and values necessary for success in life, and it is es-
sential 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 pro-
mote 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 in-
tegrity, respect, teamwork, courage, and responsi-
bility. 
(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 impera-
tive to the preparation for the 2028 Summer Olym-
pic Games, which will be held in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia. 
(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 inter-
nationally.
