WADA publishes anti-doping statistics


The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) published the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Statistics for 2013.

 

The ADRV Report illustrates the incidence of doping in global sport during 2013; and, breaks the sanctions down by sport, testing authority and nationality. - With close to 2,000 sanctions in one year and almost every sport represented, it’s evident that doping still represents a huge threat to modern-day sport, said WADA President, Sir Craig Reedie. - Protecting clean athletes, and upholding the integrity of sport remains WADA’s number one priority. In light of the Report’s findings, WADA and its partners around the world must continue to deter current athletes from doping; and, crucially, educate future generations - the athletes of tomorrow - from ever considering doping as an option, added Reedie. Most comprehensive - WADA is pleased to provide the most comprehensive set of doping statistics to-date. This new ADRV Report, when combined with the Annual Testing Figures Report, will be of value to the anti-doping community’s efforts to protect clean athletes in every country around the world,” said WADA Director General, David Howman. First time This is the first time that WADA has been able to pull together such a comprehensive report on ADRVs. The data has been collated by WADA, following information received from Code signatories, who are responsible for the results management of doping cases. - Whilst we have long produced annual statistics on anti-doping testing figures, the clean sport community has until now been lacking a robust annual compilation of ADRVs worldwide, said David Howman. - This ADRV Report has been made possible thanks to the commitment of our signatories worldwide to report the outcomes of both their Adverse Analytical Findings (otherwise known as positive results) and non-analytical ADRVs, he added.
