What is the World Anti-Doping Agency?
At the Olympics, we act as independent observers. We follow the anti-doping process, which is run during the Games by the IOC and the organizing committee. We take it right from the time that an athlete is identified for testing through the analysis of a sample, to what is called the “results management” of any possible positive test, and all the way to any appeal. Then we publish an independent report on whether or not we think the rules were properly applied. Such an independent report means that both athletes and the public have a much greater confidence in the outcome of the competitions.
