Major Event Anti-Doping Legacy (MEAL) Program

WADA’s MEAL Program is an initiative that focuses on strengthening the anti-doping programs and resources related to Major Event Organizations (MEOs) and other key stakeholders. Through the MEAL program, WADA helps MEOs to implement a World Anti-Doping Code-compliant anti-doping program at their main sport events, while enhancing local and regional anti-doping program development through a tailored approach and a long-term vision. 

The objectives of the MEAL Program include: 

  • Improving the capacity and capability of National and Regional Anti-Doping Organizations and MEOs; 
  • Enabling MEOs and event organizers in delivering World Anti-Doping Code-compliant programs; 
  • Ensuring a strong legacy component is embedded in all activities; and 
  • Long-term engagement with key stakeholders.
