Broad Olympic reform legislation, after unanimously passing in the House of Representatives Thursday, now heads to the president’s desk to be signed into law.

The package was introduced by U.S. Sens. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), chairman and ranking member of the U.S. Senate Commerce Subcommittee, which has authority and oversight of the health and safety of U.S. Olympic athletes.
