In plain language

Narrow, and paid. A State employee in the career, senior executive or unclassified service who qualifies as a member of the United States team for athletic competition at world, Pan American or Olympic level is granted a leave of absence with pay to prepare for and take part in it. The sport has to be one contested in either Pan American or Olympic competition. The cap has two halves and the shorter governs: no more than 90 calendar days in one year, or the combined days of the official training camp and the competition, whichever is less. Ninety days is a ceiling, not an allowance.
