On the sidelines of the 2026 World Indoor Athletics Championships in Toruń, Poland, our President @WitoldBanka met with @WorldAthletics President Sebastian Coe (@sebcoe) to celebrate the success of Operation LIMS and discuss ongoing collaboration in the fight for clean sport. A total of 66 cases in athletics were successfully sanctioned following the diligent efforts of the AIU in collaboration with WADA. In total, across all sports, Operation LIMS has led directly to 298 sanctions against athletes who were part of Russia’s institutionalized doping scheme.

We have imposed an Analytical Testing Restriction (ATR) on the Polish Anti-Doping Laboratory, limited to the application of the Confirmation Procedure for the substances related to modafinil. During the ATR, the Laboratory can continue carrying out its regular anti-doping activities, as per the International Standard for Laboratories. However, all routine samples that require confirmation analysis of substances related to modafinil shall be securely transported to another WADA-accredited laboratory. tinyurl.com/3xhf2na9

Addressed the 145th IOC Session in Milan today. Clean sport depends on unity, trust, and shared responsibility. With the 2027 World Anti-Doping Code approved, record cooperation with law enforcement, and strong collaboration ahead of Milano Cortina 2026, our global community continues to deliver meaningful impact for athletes and sport’s integrity. @wada_ama @Olympics @iocmedia

WADA welcomes the decision by a federal court in the United States to dismiss an antitrust claim against the Agency, World Aquatics and USA Swimming brought by the organizers of the Enhanced Games. WADA is pleased that common sense has prevailed and remains focused on its core mission of protecting clean sport for the good of athletes around the world.

We welcome the decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport to uphold our appeal in the case of American sprinter Erriyon Knighton. As a result, the athlete has been suspended for four years. WADA appealed against the decision by the U.S. tribunal that found the athlete bore no fault or negligence for his violation after testing positive for a metabolite of the steroid, trenbolone, in March 2024. WADA is pleased with the outcome and we will continue to appeal cases to CAS when we feel justice has not been served. tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user…

Remembering the legendary Johnny Lyons, 10 years gone on this day. A lot of us were fortunate to have had the privilege of experiencing his humanity, individuality, humour, kindness and friendship. Much loved by so many. I miss him greatly. Rock and Roll. 🤘🏻 ⚽️🎸🧡

Good to see @Athlete365 and @wada_ama athletes pushing back on the dangerous and irresponsible Enhanced Games. The event should be blocked from taking place.
Christian Klaue@ChKlaue

📍 IOC Athletes' Commission (@Athlete365) and the WADA Athletes' Commission (@wada_ama) call 'Enhanced Games' a "betrayal of everything we stand for." 🔹 They say in a joint statement: "Promoting performance-enhancing substances and methods sends a dangerous message – especially to current and future generations of athletes. Such substances can lead to serious long-term health consequences – even death – and encouraging athletes to use them is utterly irresponsible and immoral. No level of sporting success is worth such a cost." ⬇️ Full statement ⬇️
