World Athletics is the international governing body for athletics (track & field & running events). Our vision is to use the power and accessibility of athletics and our athletes to create a healthier and fitter world. World Athletics serves a number of stakeholders: professional athletes, their coaches, and their agents, and the 214 national athletics federations that make up the organisation, commercial partners and broadcasters. We work closely with the local organising committees to stage the biggest athletics events all over the world, to excite and engage with fans of all ages.

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.
