The Turkish Anti-Doping Commission (TADC) was established in June 2011 with a protocol signed between the Turkish Olympic Committee and General Directorate of Sports on 24 May 2011 under the umbrella of Turkish National Olympic Committee, to form and implement a fully effective anti-doping program in compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code.
Immediately upon its establishment, The Commission held its first board meeting on 29 June 2011 and then prepared the “Turkish Anti Doping Regulation” which was drawn up in accordance with the World Anti Doping Rules (the CODE) of the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA).
WADA’s Foundation Board included Turkey in the list of the countries compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code at its meeting held in Montreal on November 20, 2011.
The ITA has signed a cooperation agreement with the Turkish Anti-Doping Commission in May 2021 in order to increase the efficiency of the anti-doping efforts of both organisations.
