What is WADA?

The World Anti-Doping Agency is the independent international organization responsible for harmonizing anti-doping policies across all sports and countries.

At the center of its work is the World Anti-Doping Code (Code)—the global framework that standardizes anti-doping rules and regulations across all sporting bodies.

The World Anti-Doping Framework

The Code is supported by eight (8) International Standards, ensuring consistency and fairness worldwide:

• Prohibited List (updated annually)
• Testing & Investigations
• Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE)
• Results Management
• Laboratories
• Education
• Code Compliance
• Protection of Privacy & Personal Information

IPSF-PERSILAT aligns fully with this framework to ensure global best practices in Pencak Silat.
