Montreal, 17 August 2017
Dear Colleagues,
Article 14.5 of the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) stipulates that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) shall act as a central clearinghouse for Doping Control Testing data and results. Accordingly, on an annual basis, the Agency publishes statistical reports, which consolidate data that has been reported by WADA-accredited laboratories via the Agency’s Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS).
Today, we are pleased to provide WADA’s 2016 Testing Figures Report via Sharefile, which is broken out in the following four sub-Reports. They represent analyses conducted by the WADA-accredited laboratories in 2016, in- and out-of-competition, for urine, blood and the Athlete Biological Passport (blood):
- Laboratory Report
- Sport Report
- Testing Authority Report
- Athlete Biological Passport Report (Blood Analysis)
WADA is providing you, Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs), with these Reports in advance of their public distribution; inviting you to review your respective testing data; and verify said data via ADAMS. We would ask you to send any comments to statistics@wada-ama.org, by Wednesday, 6 September 2017.
In order to facilitate this process, the Agency would encourage you to use the ADAMS Compilation Reference Tool provided, which will guide you in compiling and verifying your respective results in ADAMS; including, the Adverse Analytical Findings (AAFs) and Atypical Findings (ATFs) related to samples from your testing programs.
We thank you for your cooperation and remain available to respond to any questions that you may have in this regard.
Best regards,
World Anti-Doping Agency
