World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
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 develops the World Anti-Doping Code, which outlines prohibited substances and methods.
WADA collaborates with various stakeholders, including sports organizations, governments, and athletes, to enhance anti-doping efforts. The agency conducts research, provides education, and oversees testing programs to detect and prevent doping. By fostering a culture of clean sport, WADA aims to protect the integrity of athletics worldwide.
