The World Anti-Doping Agency’s mission is to lead a collaborative worldwide movement for doping-free sport.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was established in 1999 as an international independent agency composed and funded equally by the sport movement and governments of the world. Its key activities include scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities, and monitoring of the World Anti Doping Code (Code) – the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries.
What Does WADA Do?
The World Anti-Doping Agency was founded with the aim of bringing consistency to anti-doping policies and regulations within sport organizations and governments right across the world.
Following the creation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) in 2004, WADA was tasked with overseeing activities in a number of key areas:
- Code Compliance Monitoring
- Science and Medicine
- Anti-Doping Coordination
- Global Anti-Doping Development
