The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has launched CoachTrue, a computer-based anti-doping learning tool for coaches.

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) president, Solomon Ogba, has stated that athletes participating in 100m, 200m, 400m and all throw events, will be tested for drugs ahead of the 21st Mobil Track and Field Championship scheduled to hold at the U.J Esuene Stadium in Calabar from June 24-26.

The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Executive Committee has endorsed the approval of non-WADA accredited laboratories (forensic laboratories, clinical laboratories) for blood analysis to support the Athlete Biological Passport Programme.

The World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee and Foundation Board will meet respectively on Saturday, May 8, and Sunday, May 9, 2010 in Montreal, Canada.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is calling on interested cities to bid for the hosting of the 4th World Conference on Doping in Sport, which WADA plans to organize in late 2013.

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.
