How does USADA get funding? Do we have any idea what their total funding is per year. How many employees do they have?

Find out yourself, Freud PR Drone.
USADA is primarily funded by the US Government, the same people who are taking down the people running FIFA and trying to throw them in jail.
Unlike USATF, USADA is NOT under the influence of Nike, and there is nobody that hates doping more than Travis Tygart (Lance found out about that).
Nike.
Here is who Freud has to deal with, Travis Tygart:

Part of the interview of Tygart from the above link follows. It is about witness intimidation --what Freud is trying to do-- and "anonymous" death threats against Tygart. None of the games worked to save Lance.
Tygart told Pelley that throughout the investigation, witnesses were intimidated to try to keep the code of silence from breaking.
PELLEY: Was Lance Armstrong personally involved in intimidating these other riders to keep them quiet?
TYGART: He was. It was tough. All -- all these witnesses were -- were scared of the repercussions of them simply telling the truth.
PELLEY: What could Lance Armstrong do to them?
TYGART: Incinerate them.
Former teammate Levi Leipheimer felt the heat. In his sworn affidavit, he says he came to a cycling dinner after he testified to the grand jury. Leipheimer says Armstrong was there and sent Leipheimer's wife a text that read, "Run don't walk."
PELLEY: What did she take it to mean?
TYGART: It's a veiled threat. Knowing her husband had just testified, truthfully, in front of the grand jury and had told citizens of this country about this great fraud. It was a message: You better run.

PELLEY: Your investigation showed that there were personal threats made against riders who had decided to come clean. I wonder if there were any threats against you.
TYGART: There were, Scott.
PELLEY: These threats came from where?
TYGART: Emails, letters.
PELLEY: Anonymous?
TYGART: Yeah.
PELLEY: Can you remember any of the lines from the emails or the letters?
TYGART: The worst was probably putting a bullet in my head.
PELLEY: Did you take that seriously?
TYGART: Absolutely.
Federal grants and billing for doping tests.
Sorry, Freud foot-soldiers. It is a dead end to launch personal attacks on the funders of, and the people who work for, the USADA
