Here is the update by the Taskforce created in 2023, likely caused by increasing case numbers of unintentional doping:
A good explanation by one of the members:
Initial discussions on how to conceptualize, measure and reduce unintentional doping, took place during WADA’s 2022 Global Education Conference, after which the Taskforce was established in 2023. The Taskforce’s ‘Unintentional Doping Research Project’ is co-funded by WADA and the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), which in May 2022 committed CAD 400,000 for the research project that will initially run from 2022 to 2026.
A good explanation by one of the members:
Professor Backhouse said: “The Taskforce on Unintentional Doping is committed to developing a better understanding of the complex issue of unintentional doping, as we know it leads to worry and anxiety amongst athletes across the world. With a focus on preventing the behaviors that put athletes and their support personnel at risk of unintentional doping, we want to draw upon multiple perspectives to help us address the current knowledge gaps and shape collective actions. By better understanding the problem and establishing a system where we can globally measure unintentional doping trends, we will be better placed to intervene in a targeted and tailored way.”
