US Women's Skiing athlete Lindsey Vonn discusses why she made the decision to compete clean.
True athletes compete clean for many powerful and personal reasons. Seven leading winter athletes have teamed up with USADA to promote the principles of clean sport and fair play through the 'I COMPETE CLEAN because' campaign.
What drives and compels them to train day after day, year after year, putting in all the hard and often painful work necessary for sport success? What motivates them to remain true to the call of clean sport, even when shortcuts exist?
Through this initiative, these athletes met the challenge head on and boldly declared their answers.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is the national anti-doping organization for the Olympic movement in the United States. Since its inception in 2000, USADA has worked to preserve the integrity of competition, inspire true sport and protect the rights of athletes in the Olympic & Paralympic movement in the United States.
