An inspiring visit to Tsinghua University in Beijing today—one of the world’s leading universities and a globally recognized center of academic and research excellence.

It was a privilege to address students and faculty on WADA’s evolution since its creation and the many dimensions of our mission to protect clean sport, from testing, scientific research and anti-doping education to Intelligence & Investigations, compliance, innovation and the challenges facing sport today.

The panel discussion that followed provided a valuable opportunity to engage directly with students. Their thoughtful questions, curiosity and global perspective were particularly impressive and reinforced the importance of involving future leaders in conversations about integrity and fair play.

At the #ASOIF General Assembly in Lausanne, I emphasized the power of unity in protecting clean sport.

From the adoption of the 2027 World Anti-Doping Code to the continued expansion of GAIIN — including major operations such as Operation Upstream — collaboration across the global anti-doping community is delivering real results. To date, GAIIN-related activities have contributed to the dismantling of 88 illicit laboratories and the seizure of nearly 90 tons of performance-enhancing drugs.

WADA will continue working with partners across the Sport Movement to protect athletes and safeguard the integrity of sport.
