The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Foundation Board adopted a range of recommendations made by its Governance Working Group on 15 November 2018. The Government welcomes the changes adopted by WADA to strengthen its governance structures through greater independence and better protection against conflicts of interest. WADA must, however, must ensure that additional reforms, including strengthening the athlete voice, are considered by a new Working Group going forward.
