Working Groups

Working Groups (WGs) are created on an as-needed basis only, and generally with a defined mandate requiring deliverables within a set timeframe.

Although WGs are not considered permanent, they are not exclusively short term. It may be anticipated that some need to run over a number of years.

The following WGs (as of January 2023) are currently in place:

• ADAMS Testing
• Contaminants
• Prevalence
• Scientific Project Review
• Several Scientific Groups - looking at specific technical areas such as
  • glucocorticoid threshold,
  • isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS),
  • erythropoietin (EPO),
  • minimum required performance levels (MRPL)
  • homologous blood transfusion (HBT)
  • plasma volume marker quantification (PVMQ)
• A number of Athlete Biological Passport Groups (specifically addressing ABP program elements such as Endocrine, Haematological, Steroidal)
