The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is an international organization established in 1999 to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against doping in sports. Its primary goal is to ensure fair competition and the health of athletes by enforcing anti-doping rules and regulations globally. WADA works with various stakeholders, including sports organizations, governments, and athletes, to create a level playing field.
WADA develops the World Anti-Doping Code, which outlines prohibited substances and methods, testing procedures, and sanctions for violations. The agency also conducts research and education programs to raise awareness about the dangers of doping and to encourage clean sport practices among athletes worldwide.
