The ITA supports International Federations and Major Event Organisers to establish high-quality risk assessments. Our risk assessment process has been developed by the ITA in line with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) International Standard for Testing and Investigations, and is periodically implemented in collaboration with its partners.
The process consists of the integration and combination of various datasets related to sport/discipline risk, country risk and athletes’ individual parameters which results in a tailor-made Test Distribution Plan (TDP).
