Statement on Passage of Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act Through Senate Commerce Committee
“As history has shown, U.S. leagues actually enforce their doping prohibitions. Players get caught all the time. At the Olympics and other international sporting competitions, there is no meaningful doping enforcement. In fact, the IOC turns a blind eye again and again — particularly in the case of Russia. When it comes to doping fraud, the IOC has no credibility.
The Rodchenkov Act has been widely supported by both the House and the Senate, by Democrats and Republicans alike. We just gained two new Senate sponsors today on each side of the aisle, Senators Markey and Blunt. Congress clearly sees the reforms embraced by this bill as necessary and achievable.”
— Jim Walden, lawyer for Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov
