OUR ACTIVITIES…

Anti-Doping Coordination and Development / 18  As Code Signatories, Anti-Doping Organisations (ADOs) are responsible for initiating, adopting, implementing and enforcing any part of the doping control process within their authority. In addition to WADA, this includes: –National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs), –Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs), –International Federations (IFs), –the International Olympic Committee (IOC), –the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), and –Other Major Event Organizations (MEOs) that conduct testing  WADA objective is to facilitate and promote partnerships between stakeholders to improve coordination and development

 Since their creation in 2004, RADOs have played a vital role in reaching areas previously untouched by anti-doping programs  16 RADOs worldwide covering 126 countries  RADO program will continue to be enhanced as we enter new chapter of anti-doping  Quality testing and mandatory values-based education are essential two pillars of RADO anti-doping programs  RADO program has put the “world” into world anti-doping. Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs)

126 COUNTRIES DEVELOPING CODE-COMPLIANT ANTI-DOPING PROGRAMS Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs) 16 RADOs West Asia RADO Eastern Europe RADO Africa Zone I RADO Africa Zone II & III RADO Africa Zone IV RADO Africa Zone VI RADO India Ocean RADO Caribbean RADO Central America RADO Africa Zone V RADO Gulf States and Yemen RADO South Asia RADO Oceania RADO South East Asia RADO Central Asia RADO

 WADA’s Athlete Outreach Program has the goal of raising awareness of, and promoting WADA and clean sport at Major Events (MEs) around the world.  WADA recruits experts from NADOs, IFs and other organisations to engage athletes and their entourage from a branded booth equipped with interactive activities.  Following the ME, the experts are encouraged to adopt and deliver the Outreach Model in their own organizations for which WADA provides expertise, tools and the templates required. Athlete Outreach / 21

 WADA’s Athlete Committee represents the views and rights of athletes worldwide, while providing insight and oversight into athletes’ roles and responsibilities as they relate to anti-doping. –The 18-person Committee, which is geographically, sport and gender representative, meets twice a year –The Committee has a strong voice internationally and helps WADA advance its activities as ‘the global voice of clean athletes’ –The Committee members are engaged with athlete representative bodies – providing a sounding board for athlete views globally. Athlete Committee / 22

 WADA believes that a long-term solution to preventing doping is through effective, values- based education programs that foster anti- doping behaviors and create a strong anti- doping culture –Value-based education is mandatory for all Signatories –The Agency offers many, free, turnkey tools to implement anti-doping education in sport and schools Education

Science and Medical / 24  WADA’s responsibilities in the science and medical fields include: –Accreditation of anti-doping laboratories –Scientific Research –the Prohibited List –The Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) –Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) –Addressing specific scientific and medical issues pertaining to the identification and detection of doping substances and practices

 The Prohibited List, which is one of the International Standards, is updated annually on 1 January  There is a year-long open, consultation process  It is robust yet flexible – WADA List Committee responds to new information and can adapt list when needed (e.g. Xenon / Argon in 2014 )  It is available on mobile devices and smart phones  It is currently available in five languages Prohibited List

Seeking partners in scientific research…  Budgets for research available for anti-doping  National, regional and international research  Coordination and liaison through WADA  Publishing and sharing of information  Special IOC/Government Research Fund  Recent research topics: –ABP –Pharmacological Studies on doping substances / methods –Methods in analytical chemistry Opportunities in Research / 26

 With improved testing programs, WADA will continue to strengthen the harmonization of standards across all accredited laboratories  34 WADA-accredited laboratories worldwide  Criteria in International Standard for Laboratories (ISL)  Laboratory contacts can be found on WADA’s website  Currently suspended Laboratories: WADA-Accredited Laboratories Beijing Bloemfontein Lisbon Madrid Moscow

 Increased use of the ABP by Signatories is encouraged by WADA as part of more effective anti-doping programs  Over 44 ADOs have implemented the haematological module  WADA monitors its use and effectiveness, and seeks ways to refine and improve the ABP  Since its introduction, the ABP has already led to over 100 Anti-Doping Rule Violations – that’s 100 fewer cheats on the field of play. Advancing the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP)

 Therapeutic-Use Exemptions (TUEs) are one of the International Standards.  Providing guidance to ADOs on all TUE-related matters  Continuous expert-led refinement and revision of TUE Physician Guidelines (TPGs)  Regular monitoring of TUEs in ADAMS according to TPG principles and “red flag” criteria  Conducting TUE case reviews and providing support to the WADA TUEC in appeals, as necessary Therapeutic Use Exemptions / 29

 2015 World Anti-Doping Code gave WADA the power to initiate its own investigations – a power which it used immediately to establish the Independent Commission and most recently with the McLaren Investigation  Forging links with Law Enforcement (INTERPOL)  Launch of first WADA Independent Commission Report in 2015  Appointed Günter Younger as Director of Intelligence and Investigations Investigations / 30
