    RESTORING CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY ACT OF 2025
    
                           ----------------
    
               February 23, 2026.--Ordered to be printed
               
                           ----------------
                                
Mr. Cruz, from the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation,  
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                         [To accompany S. 233]

      [Including cost estmate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, to 
which was referred the bill (S. 233) to amend the Office of 
National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 to 
modify the authority of the Office of National Drug Control 
Policy with respect to the World Anti-Doping Agency, and for 
other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably 
thereon with an amendment in the nature of a substitute and 
recommends that the bill, as amended, do pass.

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of S. 233 is to require the Office of National 
Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to annually review and determine 
whether the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has implemented 
certain governance models and reforms. The bill would further 
provide ONDCP with the permanent authority to voluntarily 
withhold annual dues from WADA if WADA does not meet such 
governance models or reforms.

                          Background and Needs

    WADA was established in 1999 as an ``international 
independent agency to lead a collaborative worldwide movement 
for doping-free sport,'' with its main mission to ensure and 
monitor implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code.\1\ WADA 
is funded through world governments and the Olympic movement. 
Government contributions are calculated via a regional split 
agreed upon in 1999, and the Olympic movement matches those 
contributions up to 50 percent of WADA's budget.\2\

    \2\``Funding,'' WADA, https://www.wada-ama.org/en/who-we-are/
funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The United States allocates funding to WADA through ONDCP. 
ONDCP has been authorized to make financial contributions to 
WADA since 2000 through Executive Order 13965.\3\ In 2021, 
following frustrations with WADA's handling of the Russian 
doping scandal, ONDCP issued a report to Congress that 
demonstrated that the United States was not getting its money's 
worth for its annual contributions to WADA.\4\ The Subcommittee 
on Financial Services and General Government of the Committee 
on Appropriations of the Senate has included report language in 
appropriations bills, including for fiscal year 2024, that 
grants ONDCP the authority and discretion to withhold future 
funding in response to WADA's handling of high-profile doping 
controversies in Olympic sports.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In December 2024, ONDCP withheld payment of the United 
States' dues of $3.7 million to WADA as a result of a dispute 
with WADA declining to exercise its authority to block Chinese 
athletes suspected of doping from competing in the Tokyo 
Olympics in 2021.
    In January 2021, the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) 
performed drug tests on competitors at a national swim meet--23 
of whom tested positive for the PED, Trimetazidine (TMZ).\6\ 
Three months later, in March, CHINADA reported the positive 
tests to WADA.\7\ WADA, however, did not open an investigation 
until June 21--6 days after CHINADA issued its determination 
that the swimmers had not violated anti-doping rules because 
they were ``inadvertently ... exposed to the substance through 
food/environment contamination as a result of [Trimetazidine] 
detected in the [hotel] kitchen (including spice containers 
[and] the extraction fan above the hob and the drains).''\8\ 
CHINADA did not address how TMZ--a manufactured pharmaceutical 
drug that can increase stamina and endurance--popped up in the 
spice jars of a commercial kitchen.\9\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Less than a month after opening an investigation into the 
Chinese swimmers, WADA claimed to have ``no basis under the 
World Anti-Doping Code to challenge CHINADA's findings of 
environmental/food contamination.''\10\ As a result, several of 
the Chinese swimmers who tested positive for TMZ not only 
competed in the 2021 Olympics, but also won medals, including 
three gold medals.\11\

    WADA's decision to accept CHINADA's findings stands in 
stark contrast to its decision to challenge the Russian Anti-
Doping Agency's initial exoneration of a figure skater who 
tested positive for TMZ because of supposed food contamination 
less than 6 months later.\12\ The Russian figure skater was 
ultimately disqualified from the 2022 Olympic Winter Games and 
sanctioned with a 4-year period of ineligibility.\13\ 
Meanwhile, many of the same Chinese swimmers who tested 
positive for TMZ before the 2021 games competed in the Paris 
2024 Olympics.\14\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    On June 17, 2025, the Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on 
Consumer Protection, Technology, and Data Privacy held a 
hearing titled ``WADA Shame: Swimming in Denial Over Chinese 
Doping.'' One of the witnesses was an Olympic silver medalist 
who competed against a winning Chinese team at the Tokyo 
Olympics and testified to the challenges of an uneven playing 
field for athletes. Another witness, Travis Tygart, chief 
executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), spoke 
on the insufficiency of WADA's explanations for accepting 
CHINADA's findings and in favor of restricting dues from the 
United States until WADA enacts reforms. Dr. Rahul Gupta, 
former Director of ONDCP, spoke about the importance of 
withholding funds unless WADA enacts reforms to level the 
playing field for athletes. WADA was invited to testify but 
declined. WADA also declined to testify at a hearing held by 
the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of 
Representatives in June 2024.
    This bill would give ONDCP the voluntary power to withhold 
the U.S. annual dues payment to WADA if they do not enact 
necessary governance reforms to keep U.S. athletes on an even 
playing field with their international competitors.

                         Summary of Provisions

    S. 233 would do the following:

   Require ONDCP, in consultation with USADA, the 
        United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, and the 
        Athlete's Advisory Council, to annually determine 
        whether WADA has met specific reform criteria, 
        including the implementation of governance reforms to 
        ensure both independent governance and fair 
        representation of the United States as well as the 
        establishment of fair process and procedures to select 
        independent athletes for decision-making roles.
   Permit ONDCP, in consultation with Congress, to 
        voluntarily withhold up to the full amount of any funds 
        made available for the payment of the United States 
        membership due to WADA if ONDCP determines WADA has not 
        met the reform criteria laid out above. Any funds 
        withheld would be required to be returned to the 
        general fund at the end of the applicable fiscal year, 
        unless otherwise specified by law.
   In the case of a determination that WADA is not 
        meeting the above reform criteria, require ONDCP, in 
        consultation with USADA, the United States Olympic and 
        Paralympic Committee, and the Athlete's Advisory 
        Council, to file a report to Congress describing the 
        barriers to participation and fair representation of 
        the United States on WADA's Executive Committee and 
        other decision-making bodies within WADA if the ONDCP 
        decides to withhold funds.
   Require ONDCP to submit a spending plan to the 
        appropriate committees of Congress along with an 
        explanation of proposed uses of the funds.

                          Legislative History

    S. 233 was introduced on January 23, 2025, by Senator 
Blackburn (for herself and Senators Van Hollen, Capito, 
Blumenthal, and Wicker) and was referred to the Committee on 
Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate. Senators 
Blunt Rochester and Lujan were later added as cosponsors. On 
June 25, 2025, the Committee met in open Executive Session and, 
by voice vote, ordered S. 233 reported favorably with an 
amendment (in the nature of a substitute).

118th Congress

    S. 4839, the Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping 
Agency Act of 2024, was introduced on July 30, 2024, by Senator 
Blackburn (for herself and Senator Van Hollen) and was referred 
to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of 
the Senate. Senator Blumenthal was later added as a cosponsor.

                            Estimated Costs

    In accordance with paragraph 11(a) of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate and section 403 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee provides the 
following cost estimate, prepared by the Congressional Budget 
Office:

[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT] 

    S. 233 would require the Office of National Drug Control 
Policy (ONDCP), in consultation with the U.S. Olympic and 
Paralympic Committee and the Athletes' Advisory Council, to 
report on activities of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). 
Specifically, ONDCP would determine whether WADA has an 
independent governance model, is making appropriate reforms, 
and has fair processes to include athletes in decisionmaking or 
advisory roles who are unaffiliated with any Olympic Committee 
or WADA. The legislation also would permit ONDCP to 
unilaterally withhold dues from WADA for noncompliance with 
those criteria.
    Each year, the Congress appropriates funds for ONDCP for 
anti-doping activities and to pay U.S. membership dues to WADA. 
(In 2024, the United States. withheld its dues payment of $3.6 
million.) Because the legislation would not significantly 
change current authorities, policies, or practices, CBO 
estimates that implementing S. 233 would cost less than 
$500,000 over the 2025-2030 period for administrative costs. 
Any related spending would be subject to the availability of 
appropriated funds.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew 
Pickford. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, 
Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                             Director, Congressional Budget Office.

                      Regulatory Impact Statement

    In accordance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee provides the 
following evaluation of the regulatory impact of the 
legislation, as reported:

                       number of persons covered

    S. 233, as reported, would set requirements for ONDCP. S. 
233 would require ONDCP to submit a spending plan to the 
appropriate authorizing committees with an explanation of the 
proposed uses of the funds they request as well as a report if 
ONDCP decides to withhold annual dues from WADA. Additionally, 
WADA could be impacted by S. 233, to the extent ONDCP chooses 
to withhold funds pursuant to the Act.

                            economic impact

    S. 233 is not expected to have an adverse impact on the 
Nation's economy.

                                privacy

    S. 233 is not expected to have an impact on the personal 
privacy of individuals.

                               paperwork

    S. 233 would require the ONDCP to file a report to Congress 
that describes the barriers to participation and fair 
representation of the United States on WADA's Executive 
Committee and other decision-making bodies within WADA.

                   Congressionally Directed Spending

    In compliance with paragraph 4(b) of rule XLIV of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee provides that no 
provisions contained in the bill, as reported, meet the 
definition of congressionally directed spending items under the 
rule.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

Section 1. Short title.

    This section would provide that the Act may be cited as the 
``Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 
2025''.

Section 2. Authority of National Drug Control Policy with respect to 
        the World Anti-Doping Agency.

    This section would amend the Office of National Drug 
Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 to add new 
definitions for the terms ``amateur athlete'', ``amateur 
athletic competition'', ``independent athlete'', and ``United 
States Olympic and Paralympic Committee''.
    This section would also require ONDCP, in consultation with 
the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the United States Olympic 
and Paralympic Committee, and the Athletes' Advisory Council, 
to make an annual determination as to whether WADA meets the 
following criteria:

   Has a credible and independent governance model that 
        provides for fair representation of the United States;
   Fully implements or has implemented governance 
        reforms to ensure independent governance; and
   Has fair processes and procedures to select 
        independent athletes, including athletes from the 
        United States and other democratic countries (or their 
        representatives), for decisionmaking roles within WADA.

    In the event WADA cannot meet these criteria, this section 
would (1) require ONDCP to use all available tools to bring 
WADA into compliance with such criteria; and (2) file a report 
to Congress that describes the barriers to participation and 
fair representation of the United States on WADA's Executive 
Committee and other decision-making bodies within WADA.
    This section would also permit ONDCP, in the event WADA 
cannot meet the above criteria, to voluntarily withhold up to 
the full amount of any funds made available for the payment of 
the United States membership dues to WADA. This section would 
further provide that any funds withheld would be required to be 
returned to the general fund at the end of the applicable 
fiscal year, unless otherwise specified by law.
    This section would require that if ONDCP were to obligate 
funds to WADA, it would need to submit a spending plan to the 
appropriate committees of Congress along with an explanation of 
how WADA meets the above criteria.
    Finally, this section would define the appropriate
