Arbitration Decisions
This page lists all decisions from arbitration hearings involving USADA. In some cases there may be more than one decision for a particular person if there was an appeal.
Arbitration hearings for anti-doping rule violations are carried out by independent arbitrator(s), who are not affiliated with USADA. Currently, first instance arbitrations are administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), an independent arbitral body. Witness testimony is given under oath, subject to penalty of perjury and cross examination. For more information on the arbitration process, please click here. If you have additional questions, please contact USADA’s Communications department at 719-785-2000, option 5, or by email at media@usada.org.
Additionally, we have included a tab that has other anti-doping cases of interest.
