Operation FENNEC Investigation Report

In April 2022, the World Anti-Doping Agency Intelligence and Investigations Department (“WADA I&I”) commenced Operation Fennec, an investigation into allegations that some elite Moroccan born long-distance athletes (from the sport of athletics) of dual nationality were effectively putting themselves beyond the reach of out-of-competition testing through a combination of suspicious and inaccurate whereabouts patterns, and training in remote areas of Morocco for extended periods of time.
