WADA Confirms U.S. Loses Seat In Executive Committee For Unpaid Funding
Director General Olivier Niggli: The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has confirmed that the United States automatically loses its seat on the organisation's executive committee for refusing to pay its annual funding. The anti-doping watchdog said the U.S. failed to pay its contribution of 3.62 million U.S. dollars for 2024, which accounted for 14% of WADA's budget.
"The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirms that it did not receive the agreed contribution to WADA's 2024 budget from the Government of the United States by the deadline of December 31, 2024," WADA told Chinese news agency Xinhua in an email.
According to Article 6.6 of the WADA Statutes, "Public Authority representatives from a country which has not paid its dues are ineligible to sit on the Foundation Board or the Executive Committee." Therefore, the U.S. will lose its seat in the executive committee.
