(Ottawa, Ontario – July 26, 2021) – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has successfully completed its Olympic pre-Games testing program and would like to wish all members of Team Canada good luck at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope that the Games are a safe and healthy experience for everyone.
“The CCES has fulfilled its commitment to the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and the athletes who were nominated to represent Canada,” said Paul Melia, President and CEO of the CCES. “Our testing program was comprehensive, intelligence-based, and incorporated the recommendations put forth by the International Testing Agency (ITA).” The International Olympic Committee delegated the implementation of the anti-doping program for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to the ITA, who issued risk-based testing recommendations to testing authorities.
