Mr. Olivier Niggli
Director General, WADA

Mr. Olivier Niggli, Director General, WADA, presented a wide range of WADA
Governance Reforms, which starts in 2023 after six years of extensive
consultation. WADA is working with stakeholders like NADOs/RADOs, IFs, ITA
and iNADO in order to increase WADA’s capacity, for which stronger
collaboration is a must. Fostering meaningful athlete engagement is also at thecore of the reform and the 2025 World Conference on Doping in Sport in Busan

CCQ questions, particularly on the DCO recruitment and training. Mr. Gobinathan Nair highlighted some regional learnings on testingand also shared the regional challenges, like changing mindsets and finding the right people for the right job.
Each group discussed one of the topics below:
1) How do you monitor, evaluate and update your TDP and Risk Assessment?
2) How do you review RTP/Testing Pool athletes’ Whereabouts Filings to ensure the mandatory information is filed?
3) How do you ensure DCO training programmes are theoretically comprehensive and how do you monitor and ensure their retention?

Workshop B: CCQ Trends in Education and Education Programme Development
Building on the trends in Education from the CCQ, Dr. Yaya Yamamoto explained how the streamlined national education
framework intends to ensure ‘educating from playground to podium’. She stressed how each NADO/RADO can work with thenational stakeholders, through identifying the education target groups, to share responsibilities for a clean sport environment. Dr.
Maira Bakasheva shared how they worked with JADA on their members’ preparations for developing their Education Plan.
By recapping the minimum requirement set in ISE, the participants discussed how they can go beyond the minimum aiming forbetter, on the following points:
1) How did you identify the Education Pool and how did you set the learning objectives?
2) How do you train the Educators? What does (should) Educator training look like (including setting their competencies)?
3) How do you ensure the ISE principle on “athlete’s first experience with anti-doping” can be met?

By illustrating the seven-years of CCQ as “what we know” and “whatwe don’t know”, Mr. Haynes outlined WADA’s future perspectives withthe compliance monitoring programme, including an analysis of
causal links between, and complexities of, corrective actions and thepossible use of data analytics
from monitoring and regular review of
key critical areas. “ComplianceMaturity” is the key term for all ADOs –compliance becomes business as
usual; structures and processes areembedded, non-conformities arereduced even further through selfassessment and self-correction.
Mr. Kevin Haynes

Key Cases and Issues under the 2021 World Anti-Doping
Code
Mr. Ross Wenzel, WADA General Counsel, shared key cases and issues under the 2021
Code. As per the Code, in results management cases with non-specified substances, anathlete’s ‘intent’ must be established, meaning their conduct might constitute or resultin an anti-doping rule violation and be construed that they manifestly disregarded thatrisk, even in supplement cases. Mr. Wenzel also illustrated that over the years, the Codehas increased flexibility in eligibility under specific circumstances, both for increase andreduction. It was highlighted that learning from cases could help ADOs to improve theiranti-doping programme more effectively.
