Following the Foundation Board’s approval of a new Code of Ethics in November 2021, WADA defines clear ethical standards over the activities of WADA’s officials, and the IEB is in charge of implementing the Code of Ethics and adjudicating any complaint that may arise under its scope of application. The IEB is one of five Permanent Special Committees within WADA’s governance structure.
In May 2022, the Foundation Board approved the membership of the new nine-member WADA Independent Ethics Board, which consists of: Independent Chair (1), Independent Members (6), and the Sport Movement and Public Authority Members (2). The Independent Ethics Board is in the process of forming its operational structure, which is expected to be in place in early 2023.
