What are the immediate consequences of the United States' failure to pay its 2024 WADA membership fee?

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed that the United States failed to pay its 2024 membership fee, resulting in the automatic revocation of its executive committee voting rights, effective January 1st. This decision is based on WADA's statutes and reflects the U.S.'s history of non-compliance with anti-doping rules. The U.S. has been a major contributor to WADA but its actions have damaged its reputation within the organization.
