USOPC Speak Up Policy #
Through its Speak Up Policy, the USOPC Ethics and Compliance team seeks to empower athletes, USOPC employees and volunteers, NGB employees and volunteers, and other individuals within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement to raise and report their concerns. Specifically, the USOPC’s Ethic’s and Compliance team reviews and investigates certain reports regarding NGB compliance with the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act and the USOPC or NGB Bylaws, including conflicts of interest and governance issues. The team also reviews and investigates allegations of USOPC non-compliance and alleged code of conduct violations.
Frequently Asked Questions#
Without a National Governing Body for breaking, the USOPC assumes oversight on an interim basis of the breaking high-performance program in the U.S.
As part of that oversight, the USOPC is responsible for ensuring the fair selection of breakers and teams for USOPC delegation events, including the Olympic Games and Pan American Games. The USOPC will remain in that role until an organization has been identified to assume that responsibility as an NGB. The USOPC is prepared to identify support and education to inform the breaking community leading into the Olympic program.
The USOPC will continue to share information on this webpage as soon as it becomes available. For questions, contact breaking@usopc.org.
As we work through this process, we are soliciting feedback from a wide variety of sources. To date, that includes many individuals with experience from the breaking community, including athletes, parents, agents, coaches and administrators. If you have suggestions, please contact breaking@usopc.org.
