-
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) wishes to remind stakeholders that the deadline to respond to the Agency’s Call for Contributions for its Unintentional Doping Research Project is 23 June 2025.
Thank you to all from the community who have already submitted contributions. So far, we have received over 1,000 responses, and we hope to receive many more in the remaining weeks of the Call.
In this Call, WADA's Taskforce on Unintentional Doping invites everyone, including athletes, athlete support personnel (e.g., coaches, physicians, parents), anti-doping practitioners, academics, and policymakers to share their personal experiences, professional opinions, research evidence, and examples of emerging practices regarding unintentional doping.
Our aim is to better understand the causes and consequences of unintentional doping so we can develop preventative strategies for athletes, athlete support personnel and anti-doping organizations.
