ANNUAL REPORT 2016 CLEANCOMPETITION.ORG TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 A Message from the PCC 5 Board of Governors 6 Staff and Officers 7 Scientific Advisory Board 9 A Year in Review 16 Financial Overview ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | 2 WHERE WE ARE NOW A MESSAGE TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS 2016 marked a year of tremendous growth for the PCC, made possible by the support and commitment of our incredible sponsors, board members, scientists, and anti-doping allies around the world. Not only did the PCC award global scientists nearly $3M USD to enhance and evolve anti-doping technology (a 36% increase from 2015), but for the first time the PCC funded more projects outside the US than within it, with 57% of projects being led by international investigators. This shift securely positions the PCC as the premier funder of anti-doping research on a global scale. Moreover, the first HgH Biomarkers test was implemented into labs in late 2016, thanks to the dedication of the PCC's IGF-1 Working Group. The Working Group consolidated the acumen of scientists from six distinct labs, a dynamic which facilitated not only the most sophisticated HgH testing protocol to date, but also the interlaboratory precision key to consistent results between laboratories. The PCC also grew in terms of both contributor staff and support resources. The hiring of Stakeholder Engagement Manager Jenna Celmer doubled the PCC’s operational staff member count, and allowed for the creation of more robust and consistent outreach efforts designed to keep stakeholders informed of PCC activities and successes. Finally, the PCC is pleased to announce the renewed sponsorship commitments of both the PGA TOUR and the National Hockey League, which highlights the dedication of both leagues to protecting the health and integrity of their athletes. As we look towards 2017 and beyond, the PCC remains committed to actively fostering and supporting the scientific talent that so powerfully impacts PED detection and deterrence for all sports, at all levels of play.
