(Ottawa, Ontario – August 23, 2010) – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) reminds the Canadian sport community that the deadline is approaching to provide feedback on an updated version of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP). These rules belong to sport organizations and athletes and govern how anti-doping is conducted in Canada. Your feedback is vital to the process.
Please send detailed comments on the draft of the CADP to the CCES at cadp2010@cces.ca. The deadline for feedback is September 7, 2010.

This version change will not require sport organizations to re-adopt the CADP, according to the program’s revision rules (1.28-1.30) which allow changes to be made providing there is stakeholder consultation and substantial agreement. Following the June 30 release of the draft CADP, a three- to six-month consultation window is required, and thus the version will come into effect in two phases:
- Sections 2-9 of the CADP - October 1, 2010
- Section 1: General Principles - January 1, 2011
In addition to editorial and other changes, please take note of the following:
- Parts of the Canadian Policy Against Doping in Sport (the federal government’s policy document related to anti-doping) that were previously included separately and will not be carried forward in its 2011 revision were incorporated directly into the CADP (Rules 1.0-1.3).
- The Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process now applies to a smaller group of athletes. A new Medical Review process applies to the remaining athletes.
- The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Athlete Biological Passport Operating Guidelines (Rule 6.1) were incorporated, including four new annexes for collection, transport, analytical and results management requirements (Annex 6H-J, 7A).
- Whereabouts submission dates were clarified to synchronize with ADAMS submission deadlines of January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (Rule 6.98).
The CCES is an independent, national, non-profit organization. Our mission, to foster ethical sport for all Canadians, is carried out through research, promotion, education, detection and deterrence, as well as through programs and partnerships with other organizations.
