JADA Commit to Create a Fair and Clean Tokyo 2020 GamesThe Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) has committed to protect the rights of clean
athletes of the world participating in the Tokyo2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games inpartnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC)/International Testing
Agency (ITA), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), the World Anti-Doping
Agency (WADA) and the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic
Games. JADA, right after the Games was awarded to Tokyo, has dedicated its
resources to protect the athletes’ right and to deliver legacy project to ensure a fairand clean competition at the Tokyo2020 Games.
Efforts to create a clean and fair environment
・ JADA trained the Doping Control Officers (DCOs) to ensure the smooth operationof the Doping Control Program at the Games. JADA-trained DCOs work alongside
International DCOs from abroad and utilise a paperless system.
・ JADA has acted as a core member of the "Pre-Games Task Force”, a worldwide
joint effort to close potential testing gaps ahead of the Games led by the ITA for
Tokyo 2020.
・ JADA procured the necessary analytical equipment for the Games-dedicated
WADA accredited laboratory in Tokyo, which can ensure the timely reporting ofanalytical samples from the Games.
・ As required in “The Playbook” (published by the IOC and IPC), all athletes andsport-specific team officials must depart the Athlete Village no more than 48hrs
after the completion of their competition or when they are eliminated. However,
the global network for clean sport with anti-doping organisations cooperate toensure the timely follow-up doping controls even after the athletes return home.
Sport-Values promoted through “PLAY TRUE 2020, Sport for Tomorrow (SFT)”・ Ever since the Games was awarded, JADA has delivered the legacy project called“PLAY TRUE 2020, Sport for Tomorrow (SFT)”, Government-led legacy project.
・ PLAY TRUE 2020’s vision is to develop future leaders and a better society
through the true value of sport. Through a wide range of projects, it has
supported anti-doping organisations and clean athletes of 188 countries till
today. The projects are based on sport values and integrity and intend tostrengthen the worldwide clean sport environment.
・ “PLAY TRUE Relay” and “i-PLAY TRUE Relay” are the flagship legacy projects.
These projects have collected the “TRUTH” messages and Filter Pose photos –symbolising the true heart to sport true to oneself – from the athletes as well as
everyone who loves and cares for sport. During the Tokyo2020 Games, thesemessages continued relaying and integrated into ART with the concept “Sportmeets Art”.
・ “PLAY TRUE Planet: Sport & Art” will be showcase as a digital means on website
and LIVE YouTube streaming will be available to showcase Sport meets Art.
・ At all Doping Control Stations of Tokyo2020 venues and Athletes Village, theMANGA Doping Control series (posters, leaflets, and videos) will be displayedand played. These materials ensure the lastminute reminder of athletes’ rights

and responsibilities at doping control. They are available on ITA and IPC websites
and utilised before the Games-time by another anti-doping organisations.
Further following efforts are made to ensure the level-playing field at the Tokyo 2020
Games:・ Secondment of JADA staff members to the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee
engaging in various functions.
・ Financial support to WADA Dried Blood Spot (DBS) testing Working Group andJADA staff played its role at this Working Group for the implementation of DBS
