REMINDER: 15 November deadline for WADA stakeholders to provide feedback on International Standard of Education

Documents

Further to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA’s) communication of 26 September 2023 regarding the first phase of the 2027 World Anti-Doping Code & International Standards Update Process (2027 Code & IS Update Process), the Agency wishes to remind stakeholders that the deadline to provide feedback on the International Standard of Education is 15 November 2023.  

To submit feedback 

Stakeholders are invited to provide their feedback via WADAConnect, the Agency’s online consultation platform. In order to be considered for inclusion in the first drafts of the amended Code and International Standards to be published in May 2024, stakeholders must provide their feedback by: 

Feedback is being requested on certain key concepts that have been identified as requiring consideration for update and have been organized into different ‘Concept Papers’ on WADAConnect. Stakeholders may also provide feedback on areas outside of these concepts. 

For more information related to WADAConnect, please refer to the user guide.  

In the interest of transparency, and because this is a public consultation, WADA will publish all comments received on its website at the end of the Stakeholder Engagement Phase. Stakeholder credentials, such as username, organization, and organization type, will be posted along with the comments unless WADA is otherwise notified by email at the address connect@wada-ama.org.  

While the drafting teams will carefully consider and review all comments, it cannot be guaranteed that they will individually address different stakeholders’ comments or that a given suggestion will be included in amended and updated versions of the Code and International Standards. 

Your feedback is important 

Stakeholder feedback, especially based on experiences of practical implementation, is essential to ensuring that the Code and International Standards are fit for purpose in the promotion of clean sport.  

We look forward to receiving, and thank you for, your feedback on these key concepts during the Stakeholder Engagement Phase and to the subsequent drafts which will be circulated during the 2027 Code & IS Update Process.  

For more information regarding the 2027 Code & IS Update Process or the Drafting Team Working Groups, we invite you to refer to the initial launch communication of 26 September 2023.
