| Filed | Actor | Decision | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee | Operation Gold: what a United States medal actually pays | Fixed payments of 37,500, 22,500 and 15,000 dollars by medal, equal for Olympic and Paralympic athletes | |
| Olympic Solidarity Commission | Olympic Solidarity 2025–2028: where the 650 million goes | A plan of 650 million dollars, up ten per cent, split between world, continental and Games-participation programmes | |
| United States Congress | Medal prize money and the million-dollar line in the tax code | Medals and committee prize money are excluded from gross income unless adjusted gross income exceeds one million dollars | |
| International Olympic Committee Session and Executive Board | How an Olympic host is chosen now that there is no ballot | Bidding contests replaced by permanent Future Host Commissions running a continuous and a targeted dialogue; the seven-year rule no longer applies | |
| International Olympic Committee | The Host City Contract became the Olympic Host Contract, and gained human rights | The contract was renamed and human rights obligations referencing the UN Guiding Principles were written in as core requirements | |
| Anti-doping organisations in a registered testing pool | Three missed tests in twelve months: how the window actually moves | Any three missed tests or filing failures inside twelve months is a violation, and the twelve months run from the first of them | |
| United States Congress | The 24-hour reporting duty, and the ten-year limitation behind it | A duty to report suspected child abuse within 24 hours, with criminal exposure for failing it, and a ten-year civil limitation period | |
| Anti-doping organisations and results-management bodies | A provisional suspension is not a ban, and the difference is paid for | One is an interim measure before any finding; the other is a sanction after one, and only the second disqualifies results by itself | |
| Swiss Federal Supreme Court | Article 190: the only grounds on which a CAS award is set aside | An award from the Court of Arbitration for Sport can be challenged only on the five grounds listed in article 190(2) of the Swiss federal statute | |
| World Anti-Doping Agency | What changes in the World Anti-Doping Code for 2027 | A new Code approved on 5 December 2025 replaces the 2021 text from 1 January 2027 | |
| United States Congress | What Congress can do to the USOPC since the 2020 Act | Congress took the power to dissolve the USOPC board and decertify a national governing body, and raised athlete representation to one third | |
| Signatories to the World Anti-Doping Code | Signatory or Delegated Third Party: who actually answers | Only a Signatory is bound by the Code and can be found non-compliant; a contractor acting for one answers to the Signatory |
