Abstract

This chapter reviews the intricate structure of documents compiled by WADA to discover the main ideas in the WADA code and standards regarding the gathering of data, testing and sanctioning. Additionally, it focuses on the organisational structure within the context of doping, which includes most national and international sport federations. The aim is to understand how intelligence and information is exchanged between these organisations and how can it be used to apprehend athletes that contravene WADA’s Code. It describes the testing process on both urine and blood samples, the whereabouts requirement, WADA’s prohibited list, the athletes’ biological passports with their importance and role, the athletes’ rights and responsibilities as well as their ability to challenge doping findings. It discusses the strict liability principle applied in cases where an athlete is caught doping and the athletes’ right to appeal in such cases.

    Not all International Sports Federations recognize national federations: Triathlon (WTC) - World Triathlon Corporation. However, the WTC has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Triathlon Union (which recognizes all national federations) to further harmonize the triathlon rules, including the anti-doping rules and procedures. It is likely that WTC would have to align its rules to the WADA requirements, to which ITU is already bound.

The definition also allows each National Anti-Doping Organisation, if it chooses to do so, to expand its anti-doping program beyond International- or National Level Athletes to competitors at lower levels of Competition or to individuals who engage in fitness activities but do not compete at all. Thus, a National Anti-Doping Organisation could, for example, elect to test recreational level competitors but not require advance TUEs. But an anti-doping rule violation involving an Adverse Analytical Finding or Tampering results in all of the Consequences provided for in the Code (with the exception of Article 14.3.2). The decision on whether Consequences apply to recreational-level Athletes who engage in fitness activities but never compete is left to the National Anti-Doping Organisation. In the same manner, a Major Event Organisation holding an Event only for masters-level competitors could elect to test the competitors but not analyze Samples for the full menu of Prohibited Substances. Competitors at all levels of Competition should receive the benefit of anti-doping information and education.] WADC, Appendix one: Definitions.”

Moreover, the third measurement used (experience) comes under particular criticism due to its incredibly vague and broad scope. Such measurement could lead to the prohibition of certain substances, where the experience was a placebo experience rather than direct effect of the substance on the body.

The specified substances abuses are punished with two years’ ineligibility, but if the ADC can prove that the use was intentional the ineligibility sanction is raised to four years. It means that all intentional violations will draw a four years sanction.

    ‘Good faith’ is a rather loose and broad concept. Non-WADA suggestions for prioritization criteria propose the more pragmatic, precise stats based approach of randomised response techniques, to establish how many athletes are or have been doping and presumably restrict the anti-doping policies only to those athletes.

    For instance, the World Squash Federation, has two pools a Standard Registering Testing Pool and Other Registering Testing Pool. Each has approximatively 10–12 athletes, and the whereabouts requirements are less strict in the latter pool. No duplication of names is allowed. In Switzerland, the independent Antidoping Switzerland Foundation has three distinct pools to which athletes are assigned based on specific criteria. This time, an athlete could end up on more than one list, and would have to comply with multiple whereabouts requirements.

An initial form was signed after the doping test. There were mistakes made on the form and corrected by writing on top of the mistakes and coffee was spilled on top of the form. The next day, the DCO required the athlete to sign a new form, because the former was unusable. The DCO sends the forms only via email to the laboratories and admits to also forging the signature of the chaperone, which inconsistent evidence suggests he may have not been present during the testing procedure.

Even if the Minor declines a representative, the Sample Collection Authority, DCO or Chaperone, as applicable, shall consider whether another third party ought to be present during notification of and/or collection of the Sample from the Athlete.’ For out-of-competition testing, a location should be selected where the presence of an adult is most likely, for example a training venue.

    About the security measures, WADA has stated the following in a private e-mail (dated 29 March 2017):

    “Processing activities are performed by a dedicated WADA team, although some processing is performed by an IT services firm, which has ISO9000 and SSAE 16 certifications, as does our secure data center facility, and is under contractual obligations to keep the data secure. A non-exhaustive list of other relevant security measures includes the following: 

    Servers hosted in secure data centre, physical and logical (management) access restricted to select IT infrastructure management personnel.

    Dedicated hosting network, isolated from the rest of the business, with management access restricted by two-factor RSA SecurID.

    Change management processes.

    Network firewall, IDS and web-application firewall.

    Security monitoring by IBM Managed Security Services.

    Data in transit encrypted using TLS.

    Logging of network and application activity.

    Access and authentication controls related to ADAMS data, such as user account credentials, multi-level permissions, and sharing rules.”
