Highlights of 2010–11

• Completed Pure Performance programs for the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games and the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games which incorporated substantial anti-doping education, testing and communications efforts – more than 400 members of the Australian Commonwealth Games team were tested in the lead-up to the event.
• Provided two ASADA Doping Control Officers (DCOs) to take part in a pre-Games out-of-competition testing mission in India.
• Dramatically reduced a disturbing trend of positive tests for methylhexaneamine through a concerted public information campaign which warned athletes and support personnel to carefully consider the use of supplements.
• Launched ASADA e-Learning which has had a major impact on the reach of our anti-doping education program with 1,451 participants across a range of sports taking part since November 2010.
• Developed tailored education strategies with Australian Rugby Union, Netball Australia, the Australian and Tasmanian Institutes of Sport, and the ACT Academy of Sport.
• More than 42,512 users checked the status of their medications and substances online, many using the Check Your Substances service multiple times – a total of 117,731 pages were viewed.
• Launched a new counselling service for athletes and support personnel facing a potential anti-doping rule violation (a first for anti-doping internationally).
• Invited doping control staff from across the Asia/Oceania region to join Australian DCOs at their annual conference to help ensure Australian athletes compete on a level playing
  field overseas.
• Joined the World Anti-Doping Agency Independent Observer team at the
  2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, in recognition of our highly skilled field staff.
• Partnered with the Queensland Police Service in a targeted testing mission at an Australasian Natural Bodybuilding event, resulting in three athletes testing positive. The test results, and additional information from ASADA, allowed Queensland Police to conduct search warrants on the athletes’ homes leading to charges laid against several people under Queensland legislation.
• Welcomed the appointment of the first advisory group to ASADA, announced by the Minister on 23 May 2011.
• Joined international delegates from National Anti-Doping Organisations (NADOs) and other agencies in Singapore, Japan, Qatar, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada for in-depth training in anti-doping intelligence theory and procedures.
• Continued to build the profile of ASADA internationally. We engaged with WADA, the Council of Europe and NADOs in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Switzerland and Norway, and presented our perspective on sports law issues at the Tackling Doping in Sport conference in London. We worked with anti-doping experts on the WADA guidelines for Coordinating Investigations and Sharing Anti-Doping Information and Evidence.
• Commenced investigations into an Athlete Biological Passport program that is consistent with WADA’s Athlete Biological Passport Operating Guidelines.
• Improved consultation with athletes by using established athlete forums more extensively.
• Extended the reach of anti-doping programs by formalising working relationships with more institutes and academies of sport in the states and territories.
• Expanded our intelligence-based targeted testing program.
