Formation of World Anti-Doping Agency in Lausanne

November 10th, 1999 25 years ago

In Lausanne, Switzerland, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was formed to coordinate and promote the fight against doping in sports. This initiative was driven by the need to enhance the integrity of sports and protect athletes' health. The agency was established following growing concerns regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs, as well as scandals that tarnished the reputation of athletics. WADA's mission is to lead a collaborative effort to eliminate doping worldwide.
