The survey will gather information about: the impact USADA’s efforts have on clean sport, athletes’ and athlete support personnel’s experiences with anti-doping programs and services. CorVirtus will hold all survey responses confidential, so please feel free to be completely candid and open. USADA’s role in this project is to get those interested in taking the survey directly in touch with CorVirtus and the online survey. To participate in this online survey, you will need a password to access the site. Passwords have been randomly merged onto information cards and can be obtained from: your National Governing Body your local Olympic Training Center (available at the Athlete Services Desk) or by requesting a password from USADA directly. Please try the first two options first; however, if you prefer to obtain a copy directly from USADA, contact Jacob Baty, Education Project Manager at jbaty@usada.org.
