International Anti-Doping Agency (iADA)
PURPOSE: Over the years many Anti-Doping organizations have made poor decisions because of a conflict of interest between their organization, their government and their athletes. A new Anti-Doping organization has been formed called the International Anti-Doping Agency (iADA). This will be an independent, conflict-of-interest free democratic organization that will be self-funded. METHODS: Several online medical databases were accessed by computer literature search for studies from 1996 to 2024 in order to identify available publications for all studies of measurements of the number and description of conflict-of-interest free organizations and crossed referenced with Anti-Doping organizations. Our goal is to: 1. Demonstrate how previous self-funded independent agencies have provided conflict-of-interest free decisions for all its athletes. 2. Demonstrate the 10 rules that all conflict-of-interest free agencies follow. 3. Demonstrate the democratic structure of the International Anti-Doping Agency (iADA). RESULTS: Over one thousand studies were identified. However, no study to date has reviewed the existence of a conflict-of-interest free Anti-Doping organization. Based on the available studies the current Anti-Doping organizations have failed its athletes and have made poor decisions based on its own self-preservation and self-interest. CONCLUSIONS: No conflict-of-interest free Anti-Doping organizations has been identified and as a result the conflict-of-interest free Anti-Doping Agency, the International Anti-Doping Agency (iADA) has been established.
