Julie Chu hopes everyone knows she’ll be drug-free when she plays for the U.S. women’s ice hockey team at the Olympics. And she’s not bashful about spreading that message.

The three-time Olympian is one of seven American athletes advocating clean competition through a revamped U.S. Anti-Doping Agency program, designed to increase awareness with online videos and pledges before the Vancouver Games begin next week.
