In total, 15 RADO administrators (six from our region) participated actively and successfully. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm and diligence they showed in coping with their regional challenges that I could not help but remember the 2004 Asia/Oceania office opening in Tokyo 10 years ago. It was a year in which the first World Anti-Doping Code (2003 Code) was applied for the Olympic Games for the first time in Athens, the 1 st Asian intergovernmental meeting was held in Tokyo and the pilot project of the first RADO started in the Oceania region. In the last 10 years, we have encountered a number of challenges in our region but we have overcome these step-by-step in cooperation with our stakeholders. Of course, we still have a huge number of challenges to tackle in the fight against doping in sport under new circumstances, for example, with doping methods becoming ever more sophisticated, criminal organizations becoming more involved, supplement & food contamination issues becoming more common and so on. With the revised Code coming into effect in the New Year, now is the chance for us to enhance our capability and cooperate together to protect the rights of the clean athlete and uphold the integrity of sport.

ANTI-DOPING RULES REVISION The 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (Code) goes into effect on 1 January 2015. As a result, all Code Signatories are required to revise their anti-doping rules to ensure they remain in compliance with the Code. Since the beginning of the year, WADA has been working closely with its stakeholders throughout Asia/Oceania to assist with the revision of their rules and ensure they are ready for the implementation of the 2015 Code. National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) and National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have been busy incorporating the necessary changes to their anti-doping rules. This includes member countries of Regional Anti- Doping Organizations (RADOs), who also have the option to adopt RADO rules and/or delegate some of their responsibilities (testing, education, etc.) to their respective RADO. We encourage those stakeholders who have yet to complete their rules revision process to do so as soon as possible. If any assistance is required, do not hesitate to contact the WADA Asia/Oceania Regional Office.
