anti-doping organisations

Anti-doping organizations are bodies responsible for ensuring fair competition in sports by preventing the use of performance-enhancing drugs. They establish rules, conduct testing on athletes, and enforce penalties for violations. These organizations aim to protect the integrity of sports, health of athletes, and provide a level playing field. They operate at national and international levels, with notable examples being the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and various national agencies. Their work involves education, research, and collaboration with sports federations to promote clean sport and raise awareness about the dangers of doping.
