WADA established, in 2015, a Compliance Review Committee (CRC) to monitor Anti-Doping Organizations’ compliance with the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (Code). This independent, non-political body provides advice, guidance and recommendations to WADA’s Executive Committee on compliance matters. The Committee is composed of compliance specialists from non-sporting industries, as well as representatives of athletes, governments and sport.
Initially an Expert Group, the CRC was made a WADA Standing Committee by WADA’s Foundation Board on 20 November 2016 to further recognize the importance of its role.
