WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump has signed into law the so-called Rodchenkov act that will allow Washington to fight doping worldwide with the use of US courts, the White House said.
According to Trump, Section 6 of the act requires executive agencies, including the Department of Justice, to share information with the US Anti-Doping Agency about potential violations of the act’s provisions.
The Rodchenkov act gives US courts a right to deliver judgments on cases of doping usage at the international sports competitions, in which US athletes take part. The legislation is an example of an ex-territorial use of US jurisdiction.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has expressed concern over this act as, from its point of view, it can undermine the global anti-doping efforts.
The act is named after former head of Russia’s national anti-doping laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, who became a key informant of WADA on the alleged state-run doping program in Russia.
