The Commission, a US Government agency, has announced plans to stage the hearing in Washington, D.C. on July 21.

Named after Grigory Rodchenkov, the former laboratory head in Moscow-turned-whistleblower, the Bill allows the US to prosecute individuals for doping schemes at international sports competitions involving American athletes, broadcasters and sponsors.

Witnesses at the meeting, due to include American double Olympic 400 metres hurdles champion Edwin Moses, will "discuss concrete aspects of the law’s enforcement - who will be responsible, how investigations would be initiated, and how perpetrators might be arrested and brought to trial for their crimes", the Commission said.

They will also "provide their perspectives on how the new law fits into the broader anti-doping movement and efforts to reform the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)".

The Act gives prosecutors the ability to seek fines of up to $1 million (£745,000/€825,000) and prison sentences of up to 10 years for doping conspirators.

Individual athletes who used performance-enhancing drugs would not be subject to criminal prosecution under the law.

The creation of an Act was proposed in 2018 by the Helsinki Commission following hearings covering the impact of doping in international sport.

The Act was passed by the US House of Representatives in 2019, before approval by the US Senate in 2020.

Former US President Donald Trump signed the act into law in November.

The Act has been heralded in the US as a "game-changer" for anti-doping following the Russian state-sponsored doping scandal.

WADA has raised concerns over the extra-territoriality of the law and said it will "likely undermine clean sport by jeopardising critical partnerships and cooperation between nations".
