Compliance Annual Report 2022 / World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). - Montreal : WADA, 2023

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published its 2022 Code Compliance Annual Report.

One of WADA’s primary roles as the global regulatory body for anti-doping in sport is to monitor effective implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and its related International Standards (Standards) by more than 350 Anti-Doping Organizations, including National Anti-Doping Organizations, International Federations and Major Event Organizations.

In particular, the purpose of the Report is to:

• Clearly outline the achievements and challenges of WADA’s Code Compliance Monitoring Program, measuring objectives against key performance indicators through quantitative and qualitative analysis;
• Detail the interpretation and implications of the findings, trends and lessons learned over time for Code Signatory Organizations, enhancing their compliance maturity as defined in the Compliance Strategy; and
• Identify opportunities for continual improvement, forming the foundation for the following year’s Compliance Annual Plan. This cycle is repeated annually as WADA seeks to develop compliance maturity through improvement of its own compliance activities and the global anti-doping system.

Some of the key findings of the Report include:

• The 2022 CCQ was WADA’s primary compliance activity. Some significant improvements and progress were identified when comparisons are made for the same Code Signatories from their 2017 CCQ. This is even more notable in light of their being more requirements placed on Signatories in 2022. 
• WADA continued to support Code Signatories in amending their anti-doping rules and/or legislation even though there was no requirement to do so as all Signatories, by early 2022, had compliant rules and/or legislation. WADA received and reviewed 286 sets of rules and legislation, which represents a 40% increase when compared to a similar year e.g. 2019.  
• Although compliance procedures reduced in comparison to 2021 (which was a unique year due to the backlog of cases resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic with 52 procedures opened) they remained high at 39. A high number of compliance procedures suggests that compliance maturity is still being established in the system
• Testing continued to generate the most non-conformities in 2022. The availability of verifiable data through WADA’s Anti-Doping Administration Management System (ADAMS) reports and monitoring tools contributes to the high number of non-conformities
• Education generated the second highest number of non-conformities, replacing results management, following the first global assessment of the implementation of the new International Standard for Education introduced in January 2021.
• Resources within WADA and Code Signatories were an ongoing challenge in 2022. Within WADA, adjustments have been made to the roll out of CCQs to Code Signatories to ensure WADA’s review and feedback can be provided in a timely manner to enable Signatories to implement their corrective actions. 24% of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Signatories completing the CCQ have either self-reported a lack of resources or it was identified through the assessment of their programs that insufficient resources were in place to meet the requirements of the 2021 Code.

Compliance Annual Report 2021 / World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). - Montreal : WADA, 2022

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published its 2021 Code Compliance Annual Report.

One of WADA’s primary roles as the global regulatory body for anti-doping is to monitor effective implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and its related International Standards (Standards) by over 350 Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs); such as, National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs), International Federations (IFs) and Major Event Organizations (MEOs).

In particular, the purpose of the Report is to:

• Clearly outline the achievements and challenges of WADA’s Code Compliance Monitoring Program, measuring objectives against key performance indicators through quantitative and qualitative analysis;
• Detail the interpretation and implications of the findings, trends and lessons learned over time for Code Signatory Organizations, enhancing their compliance maturity as defined in the Compliance Strategy; and
• Identify opportunities for continual improvement, forming the foundation for the following year’s Compliance Annual Plan. This cycle is repeated annually as WADA seeks to develop compliance maturity through improvement of its own compliance activities and the global anti-doping system.

Some of the key findings of the Report include the following:

• The unique combination of reopening compliance procedures, the backlog of cases previously frozen due to the pandemic and the requirement for all Signatories to have anti-doping rules in line with the 2021 Code, led to an annual record number of 53 compliance procedures and five cases of non-compliance in 2021.
• The high volume of compliance cases and the pattern of Signatories submitting updates late in the compliance process created some resource challenges for WADA.
• No Signatory challenged its assertion of non-compliance to CAS in 2021, suggesting that WADA, the CRC and the Executive Committee implemented the International Standard for Code Compliance by Signatories (ISCCS) correctly. 
• While Testing was the anti-doping program area that generated the most non-conformities, both Testing and Results Management findings from compliance audits reduced from the previous year, suggesting that the new framework of the International Standard for Results Management (ISRM) and the focus on providing significant resources to Signatories in this area had a positive effect.
• The areas of Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) and Education saw an increase in non-conformities. For Education, it can be attributed to an increase of mandatory requirements in this area following the introduction of the new International Standard for Education (ISE) in January 2021. For TUEs, this area will be monitored in 2022.
• Similar to previous years, NADOs generated more non-conformities than IFs and took longer to implement corrective actions due to the more complex nature of their anti-doping programs.

Compliance Annual Report 2020 / World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). - Montreal : WADA, 2021

WADA has publishes its 2020 Code Compliance Annual Report (Report). This second yearly report of its kind is an important element of WADA’s commitment to transparency and of WADA’s Compliance Strategy that was endorsed by WADA’s Executive Committee in 2019.

One of WADA’s primary roles as the global regulatory body for anti-doping is to monitor effective implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and its related International Standards (Standards) by over 350 Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs); such as, National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs), International Federations (IFs) and Major Event Organizations.

In particular, the purpose of the Report is to:

• Clearly outline the achievements and challenges of WADA’s Compliance Monitoring Program in an integrated fashion, measuring objectives against key performance indicators through quantitative and qualitative analysis, including areas for improvement;
• Detail the interpretation and implications of the findings, trends and lessons learned over time towards Code Signatory Organizations, enhancing their compliance maturity as defined in the Compliance Strategy; and
• Identify opportunities for continual improvement that are the foundation for the following year’s Compliance Annual Plan. This cycle is repeated annually as WADA seeks to develop compliance maturity through continual improvement of its own compliance activities and the global anti-doping system.

Some of the key findings of the Report include the following:

• Flexible compliance measures applied by WADA to recognize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Code Signatories, in particular the temporary freezing of deadlines and enforcement procedures in the compliance monitoring program, resulted in fewer corrective actions being implemented by Signatories.
• The area of results management generated a significant number of non-conformities across WADA’s monitoring programs compared with previous years.
• Due to the more complex nature of their anti-doping programs, NADOs generated more non-conformities than IFs and took longer to implement corrective actions.
• Agencies and organizations such as the International Testing Agency (ITA) and the Canadian NADO, to which a number of IFs delegated some or all parts of their anti-doping program, contributed to significantly improve IF anti-doping program independence and compliance.
