Improve compliance with international standards at all levels of sport, from amateur to professional. Protect athlete health by reducing the risk of using hazardous substances or illegal drugs. Promote fair competition by enforcing strict sanctions for violations.
Furthermore, the 2027 code emphasizes the importance of athlete education and awareness, ensuring they understand the health risks and legal consequences associated with doping. This educational program is designed to reach young athletes, coaches, and support staff, ensuring a culture of fair play is established from the beginning of their sporting careers.
Challenges and Opportunities
While the implementation of the new code brings many benefits, several challenges remain. Coordination between countries, differences in local regulations, and technological limitations in some regions are potential obstacles. However, WADA emphasizes that international cooperation, training, and modern technology will be key to successful implementation.
