By Ben Nichols, WADA Senior Manager, Media Relations and Communications<\/p>\n

As the global anti-doping community becomes more and more accustomed to the anti-doping rule changes that took effect on 1 January with the introduction of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code, there continues to be a great deal of reflection on the direction that clean sport is taking. Since they were agreed on by both sport and government in Johannesburg 18 months ago, and more so since they were introduced at the start of this year, the enhancements to the rules have been widely reported by media across all continents. This has helped foster a greater understanding of where the focus now lies in anti-doping, and how the changes are being enacted: above all, through collaboration and transparency.<\/p>\n

Greater collaboration that brings all partners \u2013 whether they be anti-doping organizations, athletes, laboratories, or indeed media \u2013 together in the fold was the underlying theme throughout WADA\u2019s Anti-Doping Organization Symposium that was held in Switzerland in March. \u00a0During the Symposium, there were discussions on anti-doping organization-laboratory relationships; how athletes can confidently speak up about doping and finally overcome what was once known in the sport of cycling as the \u201comerta\u201d; an interview from renowned New York Times reporter, Juliet Macur, with the most outspoken of clean sport proponents, Betsy Andreu; panel sessions on how anti-doping organizations can develop partnerships; and, an engaging discussion on how media can help the work of anti-doping organizations and vice-versa. All of these topics pointed towards a world of anti-doping in which so much more can be achieved through sharing ideas, assisting each other and being transparent about the challenges faced and the solutions needed to counter them.<\/p>\n

It is the latter discussion panel, between the media and anti-doping organization representatives, that signaled so well how far we have progressed in anti-doping. We have moved on significantly from the early days when an underlying distrust existed between journalists and the anti-doping community. An era, in which the anti-doping community was perceived by some as a \u201cclosed shop\u201d. As was agreed by members of the panel in Lausanne, there is now much better understanding of the rules and processes that organizations work with \u2013 and of course the importance of athlete rights that underpin those processes \u2013 and this has resulted in improved interaction between the two communities. If sport, government and athletes are seen as the three estates central to clean sport, then surely now media could be considered the fourth estate.<\/p>\n

As the title of the WADA Symposium media panel would suggest, and as was confirmed by the consensus view of the panel members, media most certainly have an impact on the work of anti-doping organizations. Historically, and as recent events have shown, the media has played a role in not only educating the public on anti-doping, but equally importantly, bringing doping scandals to the public\u2019s attention. As with any societal issue, the anti-doping community needs doping scandals from time to time to help shine a light on the problem areas.<\/p>\n

Investigative journalism has been responsible in ensuring that sport doping scandals are visible. Indeed, in Germany, an anti-doping department was initiated within the broadcaster ARD in 2007, giving its journalists greater funding to investigate doping stories. Initiatives such as this are to be welcomed, as they allow doping to be scrutinized and the efforts of anti-doping organizations to be highlighted.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, when it comes to the complex area of anti-doping, what is seen as being in the public interest must, importantly, be balanced with the rights of the athletes. It is every athlete\u2019s right, following a positive test, to have their \u201cday in court\u201d hearing outside of public display, or, ultimately, by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This topic was the subject of extensive debate during the media panel at WADA\u2019s Symposium. It is important that the public realize that anti-doping organisations are not hiding behind \u2018the process\u2019 as a reason for not revealing an athlete\u2019s identity following a media \u2018leak\u2019, it is simply right and fair for the athlete that these organisations are able to carry out their work without \u00a0having to react to abundant rumour and speculation. The Editor of Inside the Games<\/em>, Duncan Mackay, one of five participants in the media panel, alluded to the fact that there was a much greater understanding of anti-doping rules today than in years gone by, and, importantly, the transparency and working relationship between anti-doping and media communities had vastly improved. This is true. Indeed, the World Anti-Doping Code rules today give the responsible organization a degree of flexibility when it comes to publicly reporting an anti-doping rule violation. \u00a0They may<\/u> announce an athlete\u2019s asserted rule violation after a B Sample confirmation, but they must<\/u> announce the rule violation no longer than twenty days after the final hearing decision.<\/p>\n

There are two other areas where media can really have an impact on the anti-doping cause. Firstly, in reporting instances of doping publicly at the appropriate time, and with the athlete having a fear of being \u201cnamed and shamed\u201d, the media can help significantly in deterring athletes and their entourage from doping in the first place. WADA believes that, in many instances, the thought of being announced as a doper would strongly dissuade athletes from contemplating doping.\u00a0 In other words, the risk would outweigh the reward.<\/p>\n

Secondly, media can also play a role in promoting the positive initiatives in anti-doping. We are beginning to see this more and more. Athletes across the world \u2013 through bodies such as the WADA Athlete Committee and through Outreach initiatives \u2013 are communicating the clean sport message to thousands of current and aspiring athletes.\u00a0 They are letting these athletes know, not only what their rights and responsibilities are, but why doping is dangerous and wrong; and, that there is a better way: \u00a0the clean sport way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
