  1. The pressure on clean sport is ongoing… Intra-stakeholder conflicts Russia. Russia. Russia. High-profile doping cases Erosion of stakeholder confidence and trust Significant stakeholder scrutiny

  2. WADA perspective… • The past 2 years have been challenging • WADA demonstrated resilience by: • Listening to its stakeholders • Taking action • Adapting • Growing from the disruption • Today, WADA is much stronger and better equipped • Despite the disruptions, WADA has continued to strive tirelessly to further enhance the effectiveness of anti-doping in all sports and countries

  3. Combining New and Enhanced work Social science research &Education (including development of Standard) Scientific research; in particular re. ABP and prevalence Capacity-building Harmonizing rules Accrediting & monitoring labs Developing ADAMS Enhanced New Intelligence & Investigations Anti-Doping Organization compliance Whistleblower program

  4. Compliance monitoring • WADA is now much better positioned to monitor the compliance of anti-doping programs worldwide with the World Anti-Doping Code and the International Standards: • In 2016, WADA shifted its focus from rules monitoring to program monitoring • In 2016, WADA initiated development of an ISO9001:2015 certified Code Compliance Monitoring Program, expanded in 2017 • In 2018, WADA introduced the new International Standard for Code Compliance by Signatories (ISCCS)

  5. Role of NOCs • The protection of the clean athlete is a shared responsibility. The NOCs’ role is to: • Adhere to Code Article 20.4 • Act as NADO if none exists in the relevant country • Be responsible for the full implementation of Code-compliant programs (Article 20.5)

  6. Corrective Actions - Where we are today? • Overall, more than 10,500 corrective actions from Code Compliance Questionnaire (CCQ) and audits provided by WADA to Signatories (Tier 1 to Tier 3). • 500 corrective actions from audit Corrective Action Reports (Tier 1) • Work continues

  7. Investigations • In January 2015, the Pound Commission was formed to investigate allegations • Clear need to be able to investigate without having to establish third-party commissions • In June 2016, WADA appointed Gunter Younger, to head its independent Intelligence & Investigations Department – game changer • Still active on the Russian file – obtained and acted upon the Moscow LIMS database  • 5 sophisticated cases, 434 registered cases • Global operation with INTERPOL

  8. A proper channel for whistleblowers • Prior to the 2015 Code, there was no formal process in place: • In 2017, WADA established a Whistleblower Policy, Program and launched ‘Speak Up!’ • 209 reports • Hired new confidential information manager • Of 10 sophisticated investigations, eight are based on whistleblowers

  9. Improvement Doesn’t Stop – It Never Has

  10. Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA)ExCo Decision of 20 September, 2018 • Resolved to reinstate RUSADA, subject strictly to following post-reinstatement conditions: • Russia must procure that the authentic Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) data and underlying analytical data of the former Moscow Laboratory are received by WADA by no later than 31 December 2018. • Russia must procure that any re-analysis of samples required by WADA following review of such data is completed by no later than 30 June 2019. • In addition, a successful audit of RUSADA must be carried out within four months. This will take place 11-12 December

  11. RUSADA Compliance Update Old, weaker rules apply Tougher ISCCS framework applies ExCo decision based on CRC recommendation Lab access Cases advance RUSADA restarts testing No lab access Non-compliance 2016 2017 Russian athletes competing (except IPC, IAAF and some Olympic) ADRVs or Sanctions 12

  12. Legal framework • In May 2017, the Board approved the development of the new International Standard for Code Compliance by Signatories (ISCCS), which, was adopted by the Executive Committee in November 2017, and came into effect on 1 April 2018: • Ensures that strong, Code-compliant rules and programs are applied and enforced consistently/effectively across all sports and countries • Outlines Signatories’ rights and responsibilities and process for determining non-compliance and consequences, and a range of graded, predictable and proportionate sanctions • Provides anti-doping community with a robust tool to deal with major cases of cheating • CAS ultimately imposes sanctions

  13. Where we are today? • On 28 November, WADA met with Russian authorities and visited the Moscow Laboratory • This has paved the way in the coming days for a full technical mission to retrieve the LIMS and underlying data • WADA Board has agreed that, should Russia fail to comply with the two criteria, swift action should be taken against RUSADA under the terms of the ISCCS • In mid-December, a full audit of RUSADA will be carried out • If necessary, the independent Compliance Review Committee will meet on 14-15 January, 2019, followed by a potential ExCo conference call

  14. 2021 Code and International Standards Review Process • Two-year, three-phrase, open and transparent Code stakeholder consultation (Phases 1 and 2 complete) • 5th World Conference on Doping in Sport • 5-7 November 2019 – Katowice, Poland • Review of International Standards also • New Standards for Education, Results Management • 2021 Code and International Standards • To enter into effect 1 January 2021

  15. WADA Governance Reform Two years ago, we began a full review of WADA’s governance to ensure it was fit for the future Board just approved full raft of reforms, including independent members on ExCo, independent President/Vice-President, Ethics Commission and independent Nominations Committee Question of more athletes on ExCo and Board will be revisited when there is a mechanism of sufficient representation in place (to be determined by the athletes themselves)

  16. What does the future hold? • WADA was created to foster cooperation between sport and government • Every stakeholder has a role to play – each cannot do it alone • Stakeholders must work together • Division only helps the cheaters thrive • A strong and united anti-doping community will help restore public and athlete confidence and trust in the system
