The current Code, which went into formal effect on 1st January, 2004, underwent a thorough review and consultation process with WADA stakeholders for its practical improvement. This 18 month, 3 – phase process culminated at the Third World Conference on Doping in Sport in November 2007, at which time the WADA Foundation Board approved the newly Revised Code. It identified the required implementation date for all stakeholders ( including National Olympic Committees) as being 1st January 2009.
The OCI has submitted its revised paperwork and will become a signatory of the new code with effect from 1st January 2009.
