THE WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY (WADA) has announced that the first phase of its 2027 Code Implementation Support Program (CISP) is now live on its Anti-Doping Education and Learning platform (ADEL).
CISP is designed to help World Anti-Doping Code (Code) Signatories prepare for implementation of the 2027 Code and International Standards (Standards), which come into effect on 1 January 2027. CISP also provides tools and resources to support the development of anti-doping programs more generally, serving as an educational knowledge hub to help Signatories in their daily work, a media release said.
Currently, the following types of resources regarding the 2027 Code and Standards are available via ADEL:
- Factsheets: summarizing the main changes in simple terms;
- Checklists: key action items for effective implementation;
- Presentations: overview of changes with guidance for implementation; and
- A pre-recorded webinar and FAQ on the Implementation of the 2027 Code in Signatories’ Legal Systems: Keys to Success (as announced in February).
Resources are currently available in English and will soon be available in French and Spanish.
As shared during WADA’s World Conference on Doping in Sport in December 2025, the CISP section of ADEL has been redesigned with easier navigation, embedded language versions, and access to a new AI feature that can help users find information more efficiently. Signatories will continue to have access to the 2021 CISP resources until they are archived later this year, the release added.
