1a What is WADA?
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the international independent organisation for promoting, co-ordinating and monitoring the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. WADA works towards a vision of the world that values and fosters doping free sport. WADA was established in 1999.

1b What is the World Anti-Doping Code?leaders
The World Anti-Doping Code (Code) is the document that harmonis regulations regarding anti-doping in sport across all sports and all countries of the world. The Code provides a framework for anti-
doping policies, rules and regulations for sport organisations and public authorities, so that there may be a level playing field for all athletes worldwide.
1c What rules or procedures has the Code put in place?

The Code clarifies the responsibilities of stakeholders (signatories) in the fight against doping in sport and brings harmonisation where rules or policies vary between different sports and countries. The Code includes articles that are mandatory, for example tho relating to sanctions and hearings, and others that leave some latitude to signatories such as tho dealing with conquences to teams. The Code works in conjunction with the List of prohibited substances and three other International Standards and aims to bring harmonisation to anti-doping organisations testing laboratories and Therapeutic U Exemptions (TUE’s).

doping abu.
• SCIENCE:
Annually preparing and publishing the prohibited List in consultationballast
with a panel of experts and WADA’s main signatories, accrediting and
re-accrediting anti-doping laboratories and monitoring the therapeutic
u exemptions (TUE) process implemented by anti-doping
organisations around the world.
• RESEARCH:
Leading, coordinating and supporting effective anti-doping rearch
programmes on a global level to identify and detect prohibited
substances and methods.巧克力英文
• PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT:
Enabling developing nations to share resources in order to build
regional anti-doping programmes, ultimately ensuring a level playing
field for all athletes.
• TESTING:
in the fleshConducting a programme of no-advance-notice out-of-competition
testing among elite level athletes in cooperation with sports
federations.
1e What substances are banned?
The last prohibited substances and methods List (updated annually by WADA), is the International Standard defining what is prohibited both in and out of competition. The List also indicates which particular substances are banned in particular sports. The most current edition of the List is posted on WADA’s website at: www.wada-ama.
1f What is “strict liability” principle?
Athletes should know that under the Code they are strictly liable whenever a prohibited substance is found in their bodily specimen. This means that a violation occurs whether or not the athlete intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly us a prohibited substance or is negligent or otherwi at fault. It is very important therefore for athletes to understand
not only what is prohibited, but also what might potentially cau an inadvertent doping violation.
1g What about medical conditions?
Athletes, like all others, may at times experience a medical condition that requires using particular medicines. The substances that an athlete may be required to take to treat a condition could fall under the List. However, by applying and obtaining a therapeutic u exemption (TUE) in advance from the IF or National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) an athlete may be allowed to take the necessary medicine.
The TUE will be taken into consideration if the substance is detected in the athlete’s sample and it will protect the athlete from sanctions if the medical justification is confirmed. Athletes who need to apply for a TUE should request information about the TUE application process -International level athletes should ask their IF and National level athletes should ask their NADO.
2 DOPING CONTROL
2a What are doping controls?
Worldwide doping controls or athlete testing are carried out in accordance with the Code and the Int
ernational Standard for testing. Athletes who compete at the International and National level may be tested anytime, anywhere. Specially trained and accredited doping control personnel carry out all tests.
2b Who conducts testing?
The Code states that anti-doping organisations (ADO’s) must plan and implement an effective number of in-competition and out-of-competition tests on the athletes in their registered testing pool. This includes International level athletes being tested by IF’s and WADA and International and National level athletes being tested by NADO’s or in some cas, National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGB’s).
The ADO develops a test distribution plan and allocates the number of samples for each sport or discipline required for effective deterrence. The plan includes out-of-competition testing and in-competition testing and may also include blood as well as urine collection.
2c What is in-competition testing?
ADO’s coordinate in-competition testing so that there is only one organisation testing at one event.
Criteria for the lection of athletes is predetermined bad on the regulations of the relevant IF or event ruling body. It is usually the NADO of the country in which the event takes place
that collects the samples, unless the IF or event organir has an alternative doping control program.
2d What is out-of-competition testing?
Out-of-competition testing or any testing done outside of an event ensures that all athletes can be tested at any time and at any place.
