Comparative study about testing service provision [English version]

21 Nov 2015

Etude comparative sur les prestations de prélèvement / Agence Française de Lutte contre le Dopage. - AFLD: Paris, 2015

This study of the French Anti-Doping Agency (Agence Française de Lutte contre le Dopage, AFLD) deals with testing service provision which falls within a two-sided context. Firstly, it aims at placing the AFLD’s position in relation with the other NADO's in a global European anti-doping environment. Secondly, this study was specifically useful to give an overview of the French organization’s situation in the scope of The Court’s audit (Cour des Comptes). Our goal was to evaluate our testing activity in comparison to other anti-doping organizations, in terms of methods, know-how, invoicing, agreement document presentation and accessibility. To this end, we favored a collaborative approach, which also presented the advantage to sustain or take up our relationship with the others NADO's.
Participating NADO's were selected according to diverse criteria. On the one hand, we found interesting the idea of comparing ourselves to NADO's with integrated laboratories as long as we are a few in this situation (ADoP – Portugal and RANAD – Romania). On the other hand, we appealed to NADO's who appear to us as regular partners, such as UKAD (United-Kingdom), Anti-doping Switzerland and NADA (Germany).
