ICSSPE recommends the use of similar terminology in the WADC and UNESCO's International Convention Against Doping. The Council also suggests the WADC uses simple wording so that athletes and their teams can easily understand the document.
ICSSPE will continue to assist in future revisions to the WADC, as it needs to be continually refined, taking into account new developments like genetic technology.
These comments were prepared by ICSSPE Executive Board Members Lauri Tarasti (Chairman, IAAF Juridical Commission; former Justice, Supreme Administrative Court of Finland) and Michael McNamee (Speaker Associations' Board; Centre of Philosophy and Health Care, University of Wales Swansea). This work was done upon the World Anti-Doping Agency's request for a stakeholder review and consultation of the WADC.
