ATHLETE RESOURCES

The amendments to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sport Act codified and further strengthened confidentiality and privacy protections for athletes who access the United States Olympic and Paralympic (USOPC) Office of the Athlete Ombuds and required the USOPC Office of the Athlete Ombuds to publish a “Confidentiality and Privacy Policy” in the Federal Register. The USOPC’s Athlete Ombuds’ website now includes a link to the Confidentiality and Privacy Policy and has been updated to include the Office of the Athlete Ombuds Duties and Principles of operation.

Athlete Ombuds 

The USOPC’s Office of the Athlete Ombuds offers independent, confidential advice to Elite Athletes regarding their rights and responsibilities in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement, and assists athletes with a broad range of questions, disputes, complaints and concerns.
