Important progress in shutting down large scale doping rings has been possible thanks to major investigations led by government agencies and law enforcement in countries committed to outlawing the manufacture, trafficking and possession of doping substances.

In addition, the information collected during these investigations is extremely valuable to sports and anti-doping authorities who are then able to follow-up on anti-doping violations committed by athletes and their entourage.

The challenge put before the anti-doping movement now is, in what ways can cooperation and the sharing of information—between government agencies and law enforcement on the one hand, and sport and anti-doping authorities on the other—be improved to bring greater efficiency to the fight against doping in sport.
