Anti-doping
The fight against doping
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is an international, independent organisation monitoring and regulating the global fight against doping through the World Anti- Doping Code (the Code), and is responsible for monitoring the implementation of and compliance with the Code by its signatories. The Code works in conjunction with five International Standards.
As the Olympic Movement governing body, the IOC makes the Code mandatory for the entire Movement. During the Olympic Games, it oversees all doping control and testing processes in compliance with the Code regulations. However, the IOC is striving to make all these processes independent. Since the Olympic Games Rio 2016, sanctioning has been handled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and its Anti-Doping Division.
The newly created International Testing Agency (ITA) is an independent non-for-profit Swiss foundation that will provide doping control services to International Federations (IFs) and Major Event Organisations (MEOs) to help compliance with the World Anti- Doping Code and International Standards in an autonomous and harmonised manner.
