Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to include doping fraud as a predicate offense for racketeering and money laundering offenses, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Guarantee Oversight and Litigation on Doping Act (GOLD Act), aims to amend U.S. federal law to include doping fraud as a predicate offense for racketeering and money laundering crimes. Specifically, the bill would add violations of the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act of 2019, which prohibits major international doping fraud conspiracies, as predicate offenses under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and the money laundering statutes. This change is intended to enhance the enforcement efforts of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation against doping fraud, which the bill's sponsors view as an insufficiently addressed issue in international sports governance.
