WADA

WADA stands for the World Anti-Doping Agency. It is an international organization that was established in 1999 to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against doping in sports worldwide. WADA’s primary responsibilities include developing and enforcing the World Anti-Doping Code, which sets out the rules and regulations for doping control, including prohibited substances and methods, testing procedures, and sanctioning athletes who violate these rules. The agency also provides education and research on anti-doping issues to athletes, coaches, and sports organizations to enhance the integrity of sports and protect the health of athletes. WADA aims to ensure fair play and a level playing field in all athletic competitions globally.
