The Anti-Doping Administration & Management System (ADAMS) coordinates and simplifies anti-doping activities.
ADAMS is designed to be a secure and cost-free web-based system that centralizes doping control-related information such as athlete whereabouts, testing history, laboratory results, the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) and information on Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs).
ADAMS is designed to allow anti-doping data to be securely stored and shared among relevant organizations. It promotes efficiency, transparency and effectiveness in all anti-doping activities.
Who uses ADAMS and why?
ADAMS is used by athletes, ADOs and their delegates, and WADA-accredited laboratories and WADA-approved laboratories for the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) to support their day-to-day responsibilities related to anti-doping.
For athletes, ADAMS is used for submitting their whereabouts. ADAMS can also be used for athletes to manage the application and recognition of TUEs.
Athlete Central
The “Athlete Central” is a new App launched by WADA in November 2019. Athlete Central will help with facilitating athlete compliance with Whereabouts rules under the global anti-doping programme.
Powered by ADAMS, the new Athlete Central is a simple, smart and reliable way for athletes to provide their Whereabouts information in order to support Out-of-Competition Testing (OOCT) and demonstrate their commitment to clean sport. Its attributes include:
- Smart App for improved accuracy
- Location-based address recommendations
- Intuitive user Interface requiring less support & training
- Supports all types of Whereabout pool, including RTPs
- Improved adherence to International Standards for Testing and Investigations (ISTI)
- A dedicated Help Desk
