The purpose of the Code is to advance the anti-doping effort through universal harmonization of core anti-doping elements. |
It is intended to be specific enough to achieve complete harmonization on issues World Anti-Doping Code 202110where uniformity is required, yet general enough in other areas to permit flexibility on how agreed-upon anti-doping principles are implemented. |
The Code has been drafted giving consideration to the principles of proportionality and human rights.1The World Anti-Doping ProgramThe World Anti-Doping Program encompasses all of the elements needed in order to ensure optimal harmonization and best practice in international and national anti-doping programs. |
The main elements are:Level 1: The CodeLevel 2: International Standards and Technical DocumentsLevel 3: Models of Best Practice and GuidelinesInternational StandardsInternational Standards for different technical and operational areas within the anti-doping program have been and will be developed in consultation with t... |
The purpose of the International Standards is harmonization among Anti-Doping Organizations responsible for specific technical and operational parts of anti-doping programs. |
Adherence to the International Standards is mandatory for compliance with the Code. |
The International Standards may be revised from time to time by the WADA Executive Committee after reasonable consultation with Signatories, governments and other relevant stakeholders. |

Adherence to Technical Documents is mandatory for compliance with the Code. |
Where the implementation of a new or revised Technical Document is not time sensitive, the WADA Executive Committee shall allow for reasonable consultation with Signatories, governments and other relevant stakeholders. |
Technical Documents shall become effective immediately upon publication on the WADA website unless a later date is specified.3 2 [Comment: The International Standards contain much of the technical detail necessary for implementing the Code. |
International Standards will, in consultation with Signatories, governments and other relevant stakeholders, be developed by experts and set forth in separate documents. |
It is important that the WADA Executive Committee be able to make timely changes to the International Standards without requiring any amendment of the Code. |
]3 [Comment: For example, where an additional analytical procedure is required before reporting a Sample as an Adverse Analytical Finding, that procedure would be mandated in a Technical Document issued immediately by the WADA Executive Committee. |
]World Anti-Doping Code 202112Models of Best Practice and GuidelinesModels of best practice and guidelines based on the Code and International Standards have been and will be developed to provide solutions in different areas of anti-doping. |
The models and guidelines will be recommended by WADA and made available to Signatories and other relevant stakeholders, but will not be mandatory. |
In addition to providing models of anti-doping documentation, WADA will also make some training assistance available to Signatories.44 [Comment: These model documents may provide alternatives from which stakeholders may select. |
Some stakeholders may choose to adopt the model rules and other models of best practices verbatim. |
Others may decide to adopt the models with modifications. |
Still other stakeholders may choose to develop their own rules consistent with the general principles and specific requirements set forth in the Code.Model documents or guidelines for specific parts of anti-doping work have been developed and may continue to be developed based on generally recognized stakeholder needs ... |
]World Anti-Doping Code 202113FUNDAMENTAL RATIONALE FOR THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING CODEAnti-doping programs are founded on the intrinsic value of sport. |
This intrinsic value is often referred to as “the spirit of sport”: the ethical pursuit of human excellence through the dedicated perfection of each Athlete’s natural talents. |
Anti-doping programs seek to protect the health of Athletes and to provide the opportunity for Athletes to pursue human excellence without the Use of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods.Anti-doping programs seek to maintain the integrity of sport in terms of respect for rules, other competitors, fair competiti... |
It is the essence of Olympism and is reflected in the values we find in and through sport, including:• Health• Ethics, fair play and honesty• Athletes’ rights as set forth in the Code• Excellence in performance• Character and Education• Fun and joy• Teamwork• Dedication and commitment• Respect for rules and laws• Respe... |
All such organizations are collectively referred to as Anti-Doping Organizations.All provisions of the Code are mandatory in substance and must be followed as applicable by each Anti-Doping Organization and Athlete or other Person. |
The Code does not, however, replace or eliminate the need for comprehensive anti-doping rules to be adopted by each Anti-Doping Organization. |
While some provisions of the Code must be incorporated without substantive change by each Anti-Doping Organization in its own anti-doping rules, other provisions of the Code establish mandatory guiding principles that allow flexibility in the formulation of rules by each Anti-Doping Organization or establish requiremen... |
For example, it is critical for purposes of harmonization that all Signatories base their decisions on the same list of anti-doping rule violations, the same burdens of proof and impose the same Consequences for the same anti-doping rule violations. |
These rules must be the same whether a hearing takes place before an International Federation, at the national level or before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Code provisions not listed in Article 23.2.2 are still mandatory in substance even though an Anti-Doping Organization is not required to incorporate them verb... |
Those provisions generally fall into two categories. |
First, some provisions direct Anti-Doping Organizations to take certain actions but there is no need to restate the provision in the Anti-Doping Organization’s own anti-doping rules. |
For example, each Anti-Doping Organization must plan and conduct Testing as required by Article 5, but these directives to the Anti-Doping Organization need not be repeated in the Anti-Doping Organization’s own rules. |
Second, some provisions are mandatory in substance but give World Anti-Doping Code 202117Anti-doping rules, like competition rules, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. |
Athletes, Athlete Support Personnel or other Persons (including board members, directors, officers, and specified employees and Delegated Third Parties and their employees) accept these rules as a condition of participation or involvement in sport and shall be bound by these rules.6 Each Signatory shall establish rules... |
These sport-specific rules and procedures, aimed at enforcing anti-doping rules in a global and harmonized way, are distinct in nature from criminal and civil proceedings. |
They are not intended to be subject to or limited by any national requirements and legal standards applicable to such proceedings, although they are intended to be applied in a manner which respects the principles of proportionality and each Anti-Doping Organization some flexibility in the implementation of the princip... |
