World Anti-
Doping Code
The World Anti-Doping Code (Code) is the core document that harmonizes anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sport organizations and among public authorities around the world. It works in conjunction with eight International Standards which aim to foster consistency among anti-doping organizations in various areas.
The Code was first published by the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2003. Prior to 2003, there was no one standardized set of rules for all sports and countries.
Prohibited Association List
As part of its role in providing guidance to anti-doping organisations, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) publishes a global list of Athlete Support Personnel who are currently suspended from working with Athletes or other Persons under the 2021 World Anti-Doping Code’s ‘Prohibited Association’ (Article 2.10) rule.
Anti-doping Education Learning Platform (ADEL)
ADEL has a range of interactive courses and resources (ADEL Academy) as well as opportunities to connect with others involved in anti-doping.
ADEL aims to help people get educated and to find the technical anti-doping help when they need to. If you prefer to learn on the go, you can download the Mobile App ‘ADEL by WADA’ which you can find on App stores.
