3 Our Message To You This annual report provides you with highlights from the past year which reflect the breadth and scope of our work and the significant contribution we make to Canadian sport. At the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), our work is grounded in our core mission and our vision to achieve fair, safe and open sport for all Canadians. Essentially, we are in the business of making sport better: protecting sport from bad things happening, ensuring sport is driven by our shared values and principles, and helping sport navigate the tough emerging issues in a way that reflects our progressive multicultural society. 2 Annual Report Still today there remains no greater threat to the integrity of sport than the scourge of doping. Last year revealed doping on an unprecedented scale in Russian athletics. Shockingly, there was more to be revealed about doping in Russian sport in the months that followed. These revelations have been an affront to clean athletes in Canada and around the world. And these revelations have once again called into question the effectiveness of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the commitment of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In Canada, we have implemented the revised Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) and those sports who adopted the CADP into their rules for 2015/16 were fully compliant with the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code. National athlete pools were established for all sports, intelligence-driven testing was carried out, investigations were pursued, and education was conducted. Ensuring that our sport system in Canada leverages the many benefits of good sport from a platform of shared values and principles is the driving force behind the True Sport Movement. For when sport is good, the benefits are maximized and the harms minimized. The CCES is proud to be a member and leader of the True Sport Movement and last year we witnessed the continued relevance and growth of the Movement across Canada. Particularly noteworthy was the beginning of the True Sport Lives Here Manitoba initiative, created and led by leaders of sport in Manitoba. The CCES, in partnership with WADA, was proud to host an international Values-Based Education Conference in Ottawa last October. We shared with the world our progressive approach to doping prevention through values-based education, stressing the importance of these values driving the sport experience from playground to podium. The rules of sport do not always address, nor can they always anticipate, the issues that will confront it on the field of play and in the boardrooms. And when the rules of sport fail us, our shared values must guide us. As our understanding of the human condition advances, so too must our commitment to apply that understanding to sport. The CCES was a strong voice this past year, calling for reforms on such issues as violence and concussion, gender inclusivity, poor governance, and lack of access and inclusion for disadvantaged youth. We are grateful for the generous financial support we receive from Sport Canada, as well as the contributions received from the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Canadian Interuniversity Sport, Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association and the national sport organization community. In addition, we appreciate the grants received from various funders and the business partnerships that fuel our work. We are extremely fortunate that our work is guided by such an inspiring and generous board of directors who encourage and support us in our efforts to make sport better.

4 Our profound thanks go to the professional staff at the CCES, including our doping control officers, who have made our vision their vision and who daily bring our mission of protecting, activating and advocating for good sport to life. A more dedicated and committed group of employees you will not find. As we look to the future we will continue our relentless pursuit and promotion of good sport. The CADP must remain strong and robust if we are to call on the same from all countries and sports around the world. Canadian sport, at all levels, must continue to explore how to ensure sport is driven by our shared values, never making one value expendable in the interest of another. And when new challenges in sport arise, we must ensure that we first look to our values to guide our actions. We hope you will enjoy reading about the many accomplishments of the CCES over the past year and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with you in the year ahead. 3 Annual Report Mr. Paul Melia President & CEO Mr. David Zussman Chair

7 Manitoba took the first province-wide approach to embedding True Sport at all levels of provincial sport. Named True Sport Lives Here Manitoba, the initiative was developed following the 2015 Attack on Sport Forum, which explored challenges facing the province s sport community amid reports of bullying, harassment and doping, and national studies showing declining participation in sport. Education Prevention and education are two crucial components of our anti-doping work. Under the revised 2015 Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP), a record number of athletes, support personnel and administrators completed the values-based e-learning course.

On October 2-3, 2015, the CCES, in partnership with the World Anti-Doping Agency, hosted a Values- Based Education Conference in Ottawa, Canada. Representatives from 61 national anti-doping organizations (NADOs), 18 international federations (IFs), four regional anti-doping organizations (RADOs) and 17 researchers attended the event to examine how anti-doping organizations could advance initiatives on a global level by using the collective knowledge of anti-doping organizations and researchers worldwide. Fifty countries were represented on site, and more than 150 people from an additional 26 countries participated in the conference through live streaming.

8 Advocate The CCES engages in leadership and partnership opportunities with the Canadian sport community as a means to advocate for sport that is fair, safe, and open. We aim to provide support and resources to manage ongoing issues and to intervene in emerging sport issues. Succeed Clean program continued to work with community partners to deliver presentations that discuss the risks and consequences of using appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs (APEDs), while also encouraging prevention by providing healthy and ethical alternatives to succeed on the clean path. Funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Succeed Clean completed the first year of a two-year expansion project, which included: Club Excellence delivered a national certification program that is building a network of healthy, strong and sustainable sport clubs and organizations across Canada. The CCES functions as the service provider and manages the Club Excellence program on behalf of the Club Excellence Cooperative. 12 universities, in 10 communities across Ontario, where 190 university student-athlete peer-mentors were trained to deliver the Succeed Clean message, which reached more than 5,350 children and youth, through 106 presentations 7 Annual Report community clubs declared their compliance with Affiliate level standards; a self-declaration process that acts as a prerequisite to certification 27 sports represented 9 provinces represented 11 community clubs Level 1 certified A research component of the project continued to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the presentations and to refine program messaging and delivery. In conjunction with the Succeed Clean initiative, the CCES hosted a half-day Summit on Appearance and Performance Enhancing Drugs and Youth, bringing together 48 people from a variety of fields including education, health care, law enforcement and sport.

9 8 Annual Report Athlete Services CCES provides medication and Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) information to all Canadian athletes and support personnel. The Global DRO remains the most popular tool for users to verify their medications against the WADA Prohibited List. 717,791 searches in the Global DRO worldwide 150,757 searches in the Global DRO for Canadian products 369 substance inquiries made by phone and 78 TUE applications were approved In the Field CCES representatives provided information and resources at the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine Symposium, Canadian Pharmacists Associations Conference, and the AthletesCAN Forum. In its eighth year, the Risk Management Program continued to enhance the effectiveness of decision making among sport leaders using consistent, sportspecific, and integrated risk-management processes. In addition to six introductory risk-management workshops, eight sport organizations participated in an advanced workshop to investigate how to further align decision making with organizational values. A research team from Brock University continued to study the impact of the program and its long-term effects on sport organizations. Trans Inclusion The CCES continued to facilitate an Expert Working Group tasked with understanding existing research, issues and best practices concerning the inclusion of trans participants in sport. In May 2016, the CCES released Creating Inclusive Environments for Trans Participants in Canadian Sport: Guidance for Sport Organizations to the Canadian sport community with the support of a well-attended webinar. The document outlines the Expert Working Group s policy and practice recommendations, and was built in four sections: Background knowledge and definitions related to concepts and terms related to sex and gender, and their intersection with sport Practice and policy guidance for recreational and developmental sport Issues and considerations unique to high-performance sport in Canada Best practices and additional resources For many of us, we accept that good and bad stories are just part of the sport experience. Bad sport happens as naturally as good it s just the way sport is. For some of us though, we believe that with a little more intentionality, we can actually decrease the bad things and increase the good things that happen in sport. Paul Melia, Melia s Take blog

10 Protect The revised Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) was introduced on January 1, 2015 to meet the more stringent requirements of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code. Through the active engagement of over 60 national sport organizations (NSOs), 16 multisport organizations (MSOs), the Canadian Sport Centres and Institutes, and athletes across the country, the CADP is more comprehensive than ever and its impact has been significant. The CCES provided anti-doping and education services to more sports and more athletes, including a National Athlete Pool (NAP) of approximately 5,000 as well as close to 18,000 student-athletes in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) One case stemmed from information gathered through the whereabouts program and there were two cases in sports with no prior history of doping. During the results management process, the CCES worked with the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) to ensure a fair and transparent process for Canadian athletes. What we have learned so far under the 2015 CADP is that doping remains a reality in Canadian sport and that our collective efforts to invest in education, increased testing, intelligence gathering, and targeted investigations are working. In the end, a robust and collaborative approach is needed if we hope to maintain a level playing field for the vast majority of athletes who compete clean. Under the 2015 CADP there were 3,186 urine tests and 496 blood tests conducted (see Table 1). In the lead-up to the Toronto 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games, 98 per cent of the Canadian athletes who attended the Pan Am Games and approximately 70 per cent of the Canadian Parapan Am athletes were tested. Thanks to our partnership with the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier Doping Control Laboratory (INRS), Canadian athletes are guaranteed state-of-the-art sample analysis. 9 Annual Report The 2015 CADP also put greater emphasis on intelligence gathering and targeted investigations, thanks in part to over 100 tips reported through the CCES Report Doping Hotline. This contributed to the detection of 21 confirmed anti-doping rule violations, nine of which involved athletes in the final stages of qualifying for Toronto

11 Business Partnerships Throughout , CCES maintained many business partnerships which assist in our pursuit of fair, safe and open sport: The CCES successfully managed all stages of the anti-doping program for the Toronto 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games. More than 1,500 tests were collected throughout the Games as part of the intelligence-based testing program and a creative education campaign was implemented to engage athletes, including: Pee is Gold demonstrates what doping control means to the clean athlete. The video was produced to support the education program for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. #PEEISGOLD 10 Annual Report Our partnership and work with the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) continued. In June, the CCES provided assistance to JADCO as they launched their blood program and began blood sample collection in conjunction with their National Athletics Championships. The CCES started working with the Bahamas Anti-Doping Commission. Approximately 25 Bahamian DCOs participated in a training course that was designed and delivered by the CCES. The CCES continued to manage out-of-competition testing programs on behalf of the International Triathlon Union (ITU), the International Canoe Federation (ICF) and the International Skating Union (ISU).
