WADA Independent Commission-Report 1, includes .pdf of complete report

IN FORCE

In December 2014, WADA launched an Independent Commission (IC) to investigate the validity of allegations made by ARD’s documentary titled ‘The secrets of Doping: How Russia makes its winners?’. The documentary alleged doping practices; corrupt practices around sample collection and results management; and, other ineffective administration of anti-doping processes that implicate Russia, the IAAF, athletes, coaches, trainers, doctors and other members of athletes’ entourages; as well as, the accredited laboratory based in Moscow and the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).

The attached Report, which was released on 9 November, summarizes the IC’s findings.

The IC’s Terms of reference and the Addendum to the original Terms of Reference can be found on our website.
