Budget on the rise against doping

United States

The American Olympic Committee (USOC) is preparing to break the bank to better fight against doping. Its Council voted on Thursday June 30 in favor of a 24% increase in the budget allocated to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Starting next year, the USOC's share of the Agency's funding will increase from $3,7 million to $4,6 million annually. USADA's mission is to control American athletes and all foreign athletes who train or participate in competitions on American soil.
