Anti-Doping

As part of its efforts in the fight against doping, the Moroccan Ministry of Youth and Sports organised last week in Rabat a training session on ADAMS, in collaboration with the IAAF.

World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) President John Fahey has warned against complacency in the fight against doping in sport during the World Anti-Doping Agency's fifth Media Symposium, held today at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) made significant advances in strengthening the global fight against doping through additional strategies during the Agency’s Executive Committee and Foundation Board Meetings held on December 1-2 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee approves the List of Prohibited Substances and Methods for 2010, which will now be officialized and published on October 1, 2009 and takes effect from January 1, 2010.

The World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee will meet on September 19, 2009, for the second time this year at the Agency's headquarters in Montreal, Canada.

In the lead-up to this meeting, WADA's President John Fahey will hold a press conference call on Thursday, September 17, at 11:00 am EST (Montreal time) to respond to journalists' questions about current issues.

As it is traditionally the case at its September meeting, the Executive Committee will consider the 2010 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (List) for approval.

The Prohibited List is revised annually through a highly consultative process, beginning with the circulation of a draft List among more than 1,700 stakeholders. Comments received are considered by WADA's List Committee, who then presents its conclusions to WADA's Health, Medical and Research Committee.
