The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is a government-funded non-profit organization that tests, investigates, and researches the use of prohibited substances for American athletes in the Olympics, Paralympics, and in Pan-American and ParaPan American sports.
Congressmen Joe Pitts (R-PA) and Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) have introduced legislation to expand the authority of USADA to include horseracing. Participants in any race that is broadcast or wagered upon in more than one state would have to adhere to new federal regulations, including prohibiting race day medications, following of a harmonized medication policy framework, and the adherence of certain veterinary ethical codes. USADA would also be required to establish penalties for violators.
Though the cost of H.R. 2012 and S. 973 is unknown, the USADA received $9 million in FY 2012 from the federal government.
