Sažetak
The US Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act of 2019 came into force on December 4th 2020, after it had
been signed by president Trump. This Act introduces extraterritorial jurisdiction of US government
authorities and courts for criminal offence of „major international doping fraud conspiracies“
which may be commited by any person, other than an athlete, who is involved in conspiracies
related to doping in sport at major international sport competition. The Act received unilateral
support in Congress with great approval of US sports organizations. The only true opposition to
this Act came from abroad, primarily from World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), International
Olympic Committee and Council of Europe. The main and essential objection includes concern
that extraterritorial rules of this Act will disrupt the globally recognized anti-doping program
undermining WADA capacities to fulfill its mission of global anti-doping regulatory body that
supervises the enfocement of World Anti-Doping Code, including compliance of Parties with the
Code. In his paper, the author considers the impact of the adopted Act on harmonization of fight
against doping at a global level, showing its content and reasons that brought to its adoption, as well
as contraversies it provoked.
