I have read that there are those that argue for and against the passport system, so is USADA testing based on a passport, or like system?
The passport is a method of setting a baseline of tests, and is supposed to be able to tell if you have ever used steroids subsequent to the creation of the baseline.

"An athlete biological passport is an individual electronic record for professional athletes, in which profiles of biological markers of doping and results of doping tests are collated over a period of time. Doping violations can be detected by noting variances from an athlete’s established levels outside permissible limits, rather than testing for and identifying illegal substances."
