The Council of Europe participated in the meeting of the Working Group for the Operational Guidelines and Framework of Consequences for non-compliance. The meeting took place on 26 March in Paris in the UESCO Headquarters.
The International Convention against Doping in Sport, adopted in October 2005, helps to ensure the effectiveness of the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code). As the Code is a non-government document that applies only to members of sports organizations, the Convention provides the legal framework under which governments can address specific areas of the doping problem that are outside the domain of the sports movement. As such, the Convention helps to formalize global anti-doping rules, policies and guidelines in order to provide an honest and equitable playing environment for all athletes.
