WADA

ADAMS is the canonical record for whereabouts, doping-control forms, lab results and TUE decisions. Federations operating outside ADAMS create reconciliation gaps that WADA flags during code-compliance reviews.

The institutional manifestation is a constant data-sync burden: athlete pools, event schedules, sample collections and adjudications must all update in ADAMS within strict timeframes, often by small national-federation staff. Manual re-entry between federation systems and ADAMS introduces lag and error, both of which compromise the integrity of the testing program and expose the federation to compliance findings.

ADAMS Integration syncs Registered Testing Pool membership, whereabouts updates, sample-collection forms, lab results and TUE decisions bidirectionally with WADA's ADAMS platform via its official API. Athletes update whereabouts once in their petanque app and the data propagates to ADAMS automatically with full timestamping and audit trail.

Code-compliant testing requires risk-based test distribution planning, randomised athlete selection from defined pools, documented chain of custody from collection through laboratory and full audit reconstructability of every test mission. WADA reviews evaluate whether federations can produce this evidence on demand for any test in any cycle.

The institutional manifestation is an unbroken evidence chain across multiple actors — Doping Control Officers, athletes, couriers, laboratories — with no permissible gaps, all under data-protection regimes that vary by jurisdiction.

Testing Management coordinates Registered and National Testing Pools, generates risk-based test distribution plans, schedules in- and out-of-competition missions, tracks chain-of-custody barcodes from collection to laboratory and reconciles results back against the original mission, producing a complete WADA-audit-ready record for any test.

The Prohibited List is updated annually with mid-year monitoring changes, and athletes are strictly liable for substances entering their bodies regardless of intent. Federations must demonstrate that athletes and support personnel — coaches, doctors, parents — have received current education and have access to substance-checking tools.

The institutional manifestation is a continuous education loop tied to each license renewal, with measurable completion records and accessible reference tools available in the languages athletes actually speak.

Anti-Doping Education delivers WADA-aligned learning modules tied to license renewal, with completion tracked per athlete and support-person role. TUE Processing routes applications through accredited medical reviewers with full document trail, and a substance-check tool surfaces the current Prohibited List and national equivalents in athletes' chosen languages.
