2021 Canadian Anti-Doping Program Consultation
The 2021 World Anti-Doping Code (Code) was ratified in November 2019 at the fifth World Conference on Doping in Sport held in Poland. At the conclusion of a two-year, three-phase stakeholder consultation, the new Code will come into effect globally on January 1, 2021.
As a signatory to the Code, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) must adjust the current Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) to reflect the new Code by 2021 in order to remain Code compliant. To meet the needs of the sport community, the CCES designed a national consultation process that ran through most of 2020.
