*Montreal, 9 June 2006* - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) would
like to announce its upcoming World Conference on Doping in Sport to
be held in Madrid, Spain from 15-17 November 2007. The conference
will be organized with the assistance of the Spanish Government's High
Council for Sport.
The meeting will be the third of its kind after the conference
organised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in February
1999 in Lausanne, Switzerland and the second held by WADA in
Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2003. The first World Conference resulted
in the Lausanne Declaration, the document that led to the creation of
WADA; the second Conference led to the acceptance and introduction of
the World Anti-Doping Code (Code).
Representatives of national governments, related public authorities,
the Olympic Movement, other sports governing bodies, athletes and
expert groups will be invited to attend the Conference.
Program details, invitations, registration information and other
logistical details will be available in early 2007.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the international independent
organization created in 1999 to promote, coordinate and monitor the
fight against doping in sport in all its forms. The Agency is composed
and funded equally by the sports movement and governments of the
world. Its key activities include scientific research, education,
out-of-competition testing, development of anti-doping capacities and
monitoring of the World Anti-Doping Code - the first document
harmonizing regulations regarding anti-doping in all sports and all
countries.
