The organization is charged with managing the anti-doping program for all United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) recognized sport national governing bodies, their athletes, and events, including:


• in-competition and out-of-competition testing
• results management processes
• drug reference resources
• athlete education

Additionally, USADA contributes to the advancement of clean sport through scientific research and education and outreach initiatives focused on awareness and prevention.
