Dear Colleagues,

Provided at the Web link below is the Final Draft 3.0 of the 2007 World Anti-Doping Code. This draft is a result of extensive consultation with stakeholders and completes a full revision of the existing World Anti-Doping Code 2003.

The publication terminates the third and final stakeholder consultation phase. For your reference and information we have established a special section on our Web site containing the updated versions of Code documents. Click here for the documents.

Adoption of the revised World Anti-Doping Code is scheduled to occur at the WADA Foundation Board Meeting during the World Conference on Doping in Sport, to be hosted in Madrid, Spain, 15-17 November 2007. We wish to thank all stakeholders who have participated in this important process for helping to strengthen the Code and for their continued commitment to doping-free sport.

Sincerely,

David Howman Director General

Rune Andersen Director, Standards and Harmonization
