Thepurpose of the Code is to advance the anti-doping effort throughuniversal harmonization of core anti-doping elements. |
It isintended to be specific enough to achieve completeharmonization on issues where uniformity is required, yetgeneral enough in other areas to permit flexibility on how agreedupon anti-doping principles are implemented. |

Still otherstakeholders may choose to developtheir own rules and regulationsconsistent with the general principlesand specific requirements set forth inthe Code. |
Other model documents for specificparts of the anti-doping work may bedeveloped based on generallyrecognized stakeholder needs andexpectations. |
This could includemodels for national anti-dopingprograms, results management,Testing (beyond the specificrequirements set forth in theInternational Standard for Testing),education programs, etc. |
