The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was established in 1999 as an international independent agency composed and funded equally by the sport movement and governments of the world. Its key activities include scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities, and monitoring of the World Anti Doping Code (Code) – the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries. WADA works towards a vision of a world where all athletes compete in a doping-free sporting environment. Our Vision: A world that values and fosters doping-free sport. Our Mission: WADA's mission is to lead a collaborative worldwide campaign for doping-free sport.

MISSION: We champion athletes to achieve their dreams in a fair and healthy way and to inspire the world. We hold the public trust to: Preserve the Integrity of Competition We preserve the value and integrity of athletic competition through just initiatives that prevent, deter and detect violations of true sport. Inspire True Sport We inspire present and future generations of U.S. athletes through initiatives that impart the core principles of true sport — fair play, respect for one’s competitor and respect for the fundamental fairness of competition. Protect the Rights of Athletes We protect the right of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes to compete healthy and clean — to achieve their own personal victories as a result of unwavering commitment and hard work — to be celebrated as true heroes.
