Drug testing at IWSF World Championship events is governed by World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) regulations. The host nations’ drug laws must be in accordance with the WADA stipulations to be compliant with IWSF drug testing requirements.
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.
