The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) recent report and declaration of non-compliance of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) indicated that RUSADA was part of the solution to clean up sport in Russia. In fact, WADA’s declaration of RUSADA’s non-compliance actually includes no sanctions towards them.

Are you interested in joining our team as Global Athlete’s Program Manager?

Global Athlete is a new international athlete-led movement whose aim is to inspire and lead positive change in world sport, and collectively address the current imbalance of power between athletes and sporting leaders. We aim to help athletes gain a more represented voice in world sport.

2019 has been a momentous year for global sports governance and the athlete voice, and a time viewed by many as the year when athletes spoke up and were finally heard. It has been a real pleasure for Global Athlete to have listened to you, worked with you, learnt from you and supported your rights.  The athletes’ voice is getting stronger, sports leaders are finally starting to pay attention and change is in the air.

We have noted that no Paralympic athletes have being nominated for this year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards.

Today the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has robbed athletes worldwide of their right to clean sport due to their inability to enforce the strongest possible sanctions on Russia.
