Independent Ethics Board

A WADA Permanent Special Committee

Following the Foundation Board’s (Board) approval of a Code of Ethics in November 2021, which defines clear ethical standards over the activities of WADA’s officials, the Independent Ethics Board (IEB) was created and 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 Board approved the membership of the new nine-member WADA IEB, which consists of:

  • An Independent Chair;
  • Six Independent Members;
  • A member nominated by the Olympic Movement; and
  • A member nominated by the Public Authorities.

The IEB is regulated by the WADA Code of Ethics (see in particular its Annex A).
