CEO Of USADA Travis Tygart Shares His Story, Taking Down Lance Armstrong, The Shelby Houlihan Case & Thoughts On Keeping Sport Clean

USADA is one of the world's leading organizations on anti-doping and protecting clean athletes. Who is the face behind the organization? Travis Tygart. Having been CEO of USADA since 2007, Travis works closely with the USADA Board of Directors to carry out the organization’s mission of preserving the integrity of competition, inspiring true sport, and protecting the rights of clean athletes.


Tygart was the man personally behind the downfall of Lance Armstrong and exposed the U.S. Postal Service pro-cycling team doping conspiracy. He has also published numerous papers and law review articles on various topics, including Title IX, antitrust, and doping in sport as well as been a strong advocate for meaningful justice in the Russian doping scandal, and reforms to the World Anti-Doping Agency to ensure a strong and independent global anti-doping system.


Tygart has been recognized by Sports Illustrated as one of the 50 Most Powerful People in Sports, named to the TIME 100 list of Most Influential People in the World for 2013, and deemed one of the Top 12 World Sports Personalities of the Year by Sport Intern. He has also been named one of the World’s Most Influential Sports Personalities by Inside Sport.


When Travis agreed to come on the podcast, I was beyond thrilled at the opportunity to discuss USADA, clean sport, and his own personal story. This conversation is a deep dive into his career and all the ups and downs that have come with it. We discuss all that he's accomplished and the lessons he's learned along the way. We also go deep into conversation about USADA, catching cheaters, protecting the innocent, the RUSADA scandals, and much more! This episode is a fascinating one and well worth listening to.
