“At the Intelligence and Investigations (I&I) Department, we turn information into action. By gathering intelligence, conducting investigations, and working with law enforcement, we uncover the truth and protect the integrity of sport. Operating independently within WADA, we ensure impartiality, build trust, and safeguard confidential sources. Our team—experts in intelligence, analysis, and investigations—upholds the highest standards of professionalism to defend fair play and the athletes who embody it.”
- Gunter Younger | Director, Intelligence and Investigations
To ensure impartiality in investigations and remain free from internal and external pressure, the I&I Department operates independently within WADA. This allows us to build credibility and trust with stakeholders, athletes, and the public. We are a team of professionals with extensive experience in Intelligence gathering and analysis, investigations, law enforcement collaboration, and sport. Working as two units—the Intelligence Unit and the Investigations Unit—our team upholds the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality to protect the values of fair play and sportsmanship.
Help us protect the clean athlete and the integrity of sport.
Annual Audits
Each year, an independent auditor conducts a thorough review of WADA's Intelligence and Investigations Department to ensure its operations adhere to the highest standards. These audits assess the department's commitment to best practices, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and dedication to safeguarding the rights and privacy of all individuals. This continuous and rigorous evaluation reinforces WADA's integrity and accountability in the fight against doping.
