2007 World Conference on Doping in Sport

 

*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.
