Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs) are regional organizations designated by member countries to coordinate and manage delegated areas of their national anti-doping programs, which may include:
- Adopting and implementing anti-doping rules
- Planning and collecting samples
- Managing results
- Reviewing Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs)
- Conducting hearings
- Coordinating education programs at a regional level
There are currently 12 RADOs bringing together 119 countries, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America and Oceania.
