Sport Integrity Canada administers the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) on behalf of the Canadian sport community. The CADP is designed to prevent, deter, and detect doping in sport through the implementation of anti-doping rules, including the use of prohibited substances and methods in sport. The CADP is adopted by national sport organizations and multi-sport organizations to protect the integrity of sport and the rights of clean athletes.
The CADP is compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and its five International Standards dealing with various technical areas along with their associated Technical Documents.
If you submit information to Sport Integrity Canada, your report will be directed to the Intelligence and Investigations Unit. A member of the team will carefully review the information you provide and determine the appropriate course of action. We may contact you via RealResponse unless you request otherwise, for more information if necessary.
Depending on the severity of the allegations, the information provided in your report may be shared with law enforcement agencies and/or other anti-doping agencies (e.g., WADA).
