As a result, all Code Signatories are required to revise their anti-doping rules to ensure they remain in compliance with the Code. Since the beginning of the year, WADA has been working closely with its stakeholders throughout Asia/Oceania to assist with the revision of their rules and ensure they are ready for the implementation of the 2015 Code. National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) and National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have been busy incorporating the necessary changes to their anti-doping rules. This includes member countries of Regional Anti- Doping Organizations (RADOs), who also have the option to adopt RADO rules and/or delegate some of their responsibilities (testing, education, etc.) to their respective RADO. We encourage those stakeholders who have yet to complete their rules revision process to do so as soon as possible. If any assistance is required, do not hesitate to contact the WADA Asia/Oceania Regional Office.
