Independence is an important factor.
Some conflict is always going to arise but handling it properly and stopping it from escalating into something bigger is the key to successful governance and dispute management. The ADR Program is designed to help individuals and sport organizations resolve disputes over issues such as eligibility, selection, discipline, harassment, employment and doping. Incorporating elements of arbitration and mediation, the ADR Program provides a much-needed alternative to litigation as a way to resolve conflicts in sport. It is now widely accepted in the sport community that ADR is preferable to legal action, because it allows disputes to be settled quickly, inexpensively, and confidentially. The ADR program for amateur sport also handles all arbitrations and adjucations under the Canadian anti-doping program.
