(Ottawa, Ontario – April 16, 2020) – Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has revised its consultation plan for the 2021 Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP), which will be based on virtual discussion groups and an online survey.
The new World Anti-Doping Code, approved by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in fall 2019, goes into effect on January 1, 2021. The CCES ensures that the CADP complies with the Code, which is a requirement for membership in international sport federations and competition at major games.
The CCES is working closely with AthletesCAN to solicit feedback from the Canadian sport community to ensure the implementation of the CADP serves the best interests of athletes, coaches, sport organizations and the broader sport system.
