Anti-doping control system. Who takes charge of it?

Throughout the history of amateur and professional sports, athletes have used drugs to improve their physical condition. But over time, these actions began to be stopped more and more often, and violators - to be punished. An important question arises: who comes up with anti-doping rules, and who controls the actions of athletes in this area?

What is doping and how people began to fight with it?

Every athlete is aiming to win a sports competition. Unfortunately, physical conditions are not always good enough to do that. That is why many sportsmen begin to play unfairly in order to win the desirable trophy. At some times the public ignored the situation. But they realized that it cannot continue in this way anymore. So, what were the first doping cases in sports and how people started to fight with it?

Does WADA need to be controlled by somebody else?

Wada is on the highest level in the hierarchy of anti-doping organizations. Accordingly, it is not controlled by anyone. Does this control need to exist? This question will be answered by the Russian sports doctor Petr Lidov.
