Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations

The Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations (iNADO) is the international umbrella organization for National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) and their staff. Based in Bonn, Germany, iNADO operates as a non-profit organization and plays a central role in the global fight against doping in sports.

iNADO's main mission is to promote best anti-doping practices through NADOs and to represent their interests at the international level. The goal is to promote clean sport and protect the integrity of sports. The organization advocates for close collaboration between NADOs and Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs) to achieve higher standards in the anti-doping field together.

• Networking and Collaboration: iNADO brings together NADOs and RADOs from around the world to share experiences, learn together, and support each other.
• Best Practice Sharing: The organization promotes the exchange of best practices in the anti-doping field to increase the effectiveness of measures against doping.
• International Representation: iNADO serves as the international voice for NADOs and RADOs to represent their concerns and needs at a global level.
• Training and Information Offerings: iNADO offers webinars, workshops, and other educational events to strengthen the knowledge and skills of its members. It also provides information on the latest developments and research findings in the anti-doping field[4].

• Sustainability in Anti-Doping: iNADO advocates for sustainable practices in the anti-doping field and organizes events that address sustainability in this area[5].
• International Cooperation: By collaborating with international partners and organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and other anti-doping organizations, iNADO works on the global harmonization and improvement of anti-doping measures.
• Gender Equality: iNADO actively supports gender equality within the anti-doping community and points out that about 40% of the member organizations are led by women and three of the eight members of the iNADO Governing Board are female[5].

The Governing Board of iNADO consists of up to eight members elected by the membership at the General Assembly for a term of three years. The board members bring extensive experience and expertise in the anti-doping field and contribute to the strategic direction and international fight against doping. Prominent board members include Anders Solheim, CEO of Anti-Doping Norway, and Teemu Japisson, Secretary-General of FINCIS[1].

iNADO is the largest community of anti-doping experts and includes NADOs and RADOs responsible for more than half of all doping samples collected worldwide each year. Members come from all continents and represent a wide range of cultures and organizations[3].

Through its comprehensive activities and initiatives, iNADO significantly contributes to achieving clean sports and strengthens the global anti-doping community.
