What is USADA?
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is the national anti-doping organization (NADO) in the United States for Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, and Parapan American sport. The organization is charged with managing the anti-doping program, including in-competition and out-of-competition testing, results management processes, drug reference resources, and athlete education for all United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) recognized sport national governing bodies, their athletes, and events. Additionally, USADA contributes to the advancement of clean sport through scientific research and education and outreach initiatives focused on awareness and prevention.
USADA provides a variety of publications and support to the NGO (National Governing Organizations) of Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, and Parapan American sports. USA Swimming is the NGO for swimming in the United States.
USADA delivers its anti-doping education and athlete resources in a number of ways. USADA routinely provides in-person education training and presentations; conducts webinars for general and select audiences; provides online, interactive tutorials; and produces numerous brochures, pamphlets, packets, and online education resources.
