iNADO 2022 Workshop

10 June 2022, Bonn, Germany:
The Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations (iNADO) held its 2022 Workshop in hybrid format in Lausanne, Switzerland, after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Workshop evolved around building the capacities of Anti-Doping Organizations through assessing, adapting, and improving in a diverse, technical and fast evolving field. iNADO welcomed 200 participants from National and Regional Anti-Doping Organizations, International Federations, Major Event Organizers, the World Anti-Doping Agency and others to reflect on how the anti-doping community can make best use of the tools, methods, knowledge, human and other resources to make anti-doping programs stronger.

The Workshop began with a Keynote Speech Ronan O´Laoire from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, who presented on Tackling wrongdoing in sport: Global Trends and issues, which demonstrated the relationship between wider sport integrity issues and doping.

The breakout sessions of the Workshop included scientific, ethical and athlete perspectives on a wide range of anti-doping topics and provided practical solutions and support. Additionally, it provided thoughts for the future direction and improvement of the anti-doping system.
