Overview: Organisational overview
2006–07 ASADA outlook
- Launch of a new Doping Control Strategy which includes the direction
of detection, investigation
and testing resources to athletes assessed at greatest risk of doping.
- Additional research into athlete behaviour and attitudes, as well
as profiling of athletes who may
be contemplating using performance enhancing substances.
- Development of Strategic Deterrence initiatives, including the ‘Tank’ – a
mechanism for storing
athlete’s frozen samples for up to eight years. As new methodologies
to detect prohibited
substances and methods become available these samples can be reanalysed
by the laboratory.
- Promulgation of a sport policy template that will ensure appropriate
recognition of ASADA’s powers
and functions and a greater consistency between sports in the handling
of doping issues.
- Introduction of an online Athlete Whereabouts System, which will
assist athletes in fulfilling their
whereabouts obligations under the anti-doping rules.
