Report Doping and Protect Clean Sport

Doping is cheating. And when it goes unreported, clean athletes pay the price and trust in sport starts to fade.
Speaking up isn’t always easy, but it’s one of the strongest ways to protect fairness and integrity.
Cheaters count on silence—so use your voice to help change the culture of sport.

USADA makes available a number of ways to report the abuse of performance-enhancing drugs and other anti-doping rule violations. Designed to protect those who report information, the reporting process is confidential and can be anonymous. With the help of the sport community, USADA can more effectively identify and hold accountable those who rob clean athletes of a level playing field.

How to report a tip

You may report a tip using one of the methods listed here. If you would like to remain anonymous to USADA, we have fully anonymous text, email, and web form options you can use. If any follow up is warranted, USADA’s Investigation Team will be able to communicate with you but won’t have access to your identity or contact information.

However, if you are willing to tell us who you are, you can contact us directly by email, phone, or mail. Please be advised that all Play Clean tips are considered confidential information. Speaking to or otherwise communicating with USADA does not change that confidential status, nor does it waive your right to remain anonymous throughout USADA’s investigation of another person and any resulting disciplinary proceedings.

Thank you for your willingness to protect the rights of clean athletes and the integrity of competition.

WHY REPORT?

Reporting doping is about more than exposing cheaters—it’s about protecting everything sport stands for. When doping goes unreported, it tells athletes that shortcuts are acceptable and hard work doesn’t matter. Speaking up takes courage, but it’s one of the most powerful ways to defend fairness, protect clean athletes, and preserve the integrity of the game. And every report matters, no matter how small. With your report, you can protect yourself, your sport, and the next generation of athletes.
