About WADA
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is an independent international organization established in 1999. It is funded equally by the world's governments and the sports movement. The organization is responsible for a range of activities including scientific research, education, developing anti-doping capabilities, and overseeing the World Anti-Doping Code, which seeks to standardize anti-doping policies worldwide. WADA is a Swiss-based foundation operating under private law. Its offices are located in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Montreal, Canada.
The WADA Say No to Doping Campaign is highly adaptable and flexible, allowing stakeholders to tailor the approach to their specific needs and available resources. The sports and anti-doping communities can demonstrate their dedication to clean sports by featuring the Say NO! TO DOPING logo and other green elements in competition venues, uniforms, promotional materials, and sports equipment. This will help to promote the Play True message of respect and fair play.
Organizations can incorporate the Say NO! to Doping campaign in various ways. For instance, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) collaborated with WADA to launch the campaign by training ice hockey players with green pucks instead of the usual black ones. Other organizations have created large banners to display at major events, broadcasted Say NO! to Doping videos on large screens, and used the Say NO! to Doping logo on uniform items. The branding possibilities for the campaign are endless.
