The forum brought together over 350 leading experts representing various aspects of the global anti-doping system.

The event aimed to enhance the quality and effectiveness of anti-doping activities, share operational experience, and strengthen cooperation among organizations. Within the framework of plenary sessions and interactive discussions, practical approaches were discussed in areas such as testing strategies, program coordination, results management, scientific innovations, and digital tools.

The event served as a platform for knowledge exchange among international federations, national and regional anti-doping organizations, laboratories, organizers of major sporting events, scientific institutes, and other stakeholders. This diversity allowed organizations with different resources and capabilities to discuss common problems, compare experiences, and formulate applicable solutions.

One of the main discussion topics at the forum was strengthening cooperation and harmonizing approaches among the organizations involved in the implementation of the new World Anti-Doping Code, which will come into force on January 1, 2027. Discussions revealed that despite varying operational conditions in different countries and organizations, the challenges faced are similar, and formulating joint approaches to solve these problems enhances the sustainability of the global anti-doping system.

At the conclusion of the forum, it was emphasized that coordinated action, mutual support, and practical knowledge exchange are crucial for protecting clean sport. Participants noted that sharing common problems and developing joint solutions contribute to a more effective and consistent implementation of the global anti-doping system.
