Which organization coordinates international anti-doping efforts?

• A. International Olympic Committee (IOC)
• B. World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
• C. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
• D. FIFA

Answer: (B)

Global anti-doping work is coordinated by a single body that creates universal rules and oversees testing and sanctions across sports and borders. The World Anti-Doping Agency does this by developing and enforcing the World Anti-Doping Code, collaborating with governments, international sport federations, and national anti-doping organizations to standardize testing, results management, and sanctions. This harmonized system means athletes face the same rules no matter where they compete, promoting fair play worldwide. Other organizations like the IOC, FIFA, or NCAA have specific roles—Olympic governance, a particular sport’s federation, or U.S. college sports—rather than coordinating anti-doping across all sports globally.
