In serving its mission to protect the integrity of competition, inspire a commitment to the core principles of true sport, and preserve the rights of U.S. athletes to compete healthy and clean, USADA works proactively through multiple programs, including: athlete and outreach education; out-of-competition, no-advance notice testing; in-competition testing; collaboration with law enforcement agencies; and worldwide cooperation with anti-doping authorities, to support clean athletes in their pursuit of level playing fields. Toward that end, USADA is pleased to share the following statistics and specific highlights for the second quarter of 2010.

USADA conducted in-competition testing at 68 events in the second quarter. OOC testing typically occurs at the athlete’s home, training facility or other location and is performed with no advance notice to the athlete; however, some OOC tests are coordinated during team training camps.
For the second quarter, USADA announced a total of 11 anti-doping rule violations, including one (1) lifetime ban of a coach for Trafficking and Administering Prohibited Substances, two (2) for refusing to test, two (2) for doping control tampering, one (1) for an anabolic agent, one (1) for a stimulant, one (1) for a diuretic, two (2) for multiple diuretics, and one (1) for marijuana.
USADA announces its testing numbers quarterly. Individual cases of alleged doping violations are announced at the time of the resolution. For the testing history of individual athletes, visit the USADA website at usada.org.
USADA is responsible for the testing and results management process for athletes in the U.S. Olympic, Paralympic, and Pan American Movements and is equally dedicated to preserving the integrity of sport through research initiatives and educational programs.
