Athletes' Anti-Doping Ombuds

Need Advice? Do you have questions about an anti-doping issue and are looking for information or guidance? Operating independently of WADA, the Athletes’ Anti-Doping Ombuds is a free, neutral, and confidential resource for athletes with questions or concerns about anti-doping issues.

The anti-doping system is complex. As an athlete, it is important that you have free and confidential access to an independent and neutral source of information—someone who can answer your questions, help you better understand your rights and responsibilities, and help you navigate the anti-doping system. This is where the Athletes’ Anti-Doping Ombuds (Ombuds) comes in.

The Ombuds is a free, neutral, and confidential resource for athletes that have questions or concerns about anti-doping issues. Operating independently of WADA, the Ombuds gives athletes a safe space to seek information and get advice outside of their Anti-Doping Organization.

If you need help with an anti-doping issue and are looking for guidance, use the secure digital platform to ask the Ombuds.
