In 1998, a number of prohibited medical substances were found by police in a raid during the Tour de France bicycle race. The scandal led to a major reappraisal of the role of public authorities in the prevention of doping in sport and highlighted the need for international cooperation on this issue. In February 1999, the International Olympic Committee convened a World Conference on Doping in Sport, which was attended by both sports federations and governments, to determine what might be done to address the problem through international cooperation. The result was the establishment of an independent organization known as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in November 1999. The United States played a leading role in the establishment of WADA, which is headquartered in Montreal, and has long been one of its strongest supporters.
WADA is a unique hybrid organization whose basic purpose is to promote harmonized, coordinated, and effective anti-doping programs at the international and national levels with regard to the detection, deterrence, and prevention of doping in international sport. One of WADA's most significant achievements has been the development of a uniform set of anti-doping rules in the World Anti-Doping Code. The Code provides the framework for harmonized anti-doping policies, rules, and regulations for sports federations and governments. The Code works in conjunction with four ''International Standards'' aimed at harmonizing the practice of national anti-doping organizations in several key areas: standards for testing, standards for accredited laboratories that conduct testing on doping-control samples, standards for prohibited substances and methods, and finally, a standardized list of therapeutic use exemptions from these substance standards. The harmonization of standards in these areas is intended to address the problems that previously arose from uneven and uncoordinated anti-doping efforts around the world.
