The Canadian Anti-Doping Program
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) is the custodian of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP): the set of rules that govern anti-doping in Canada. The CADP consists of several components such as in- and out-of-competition testing, education, medical exemptions, and the consequences of doping violations. The CADP is compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and all international standards.

Adoption of the CADP
Canadian Sport Institute has adopted the CADP which means that you can be confident you are part of a world-class anti-doping program designed to protect athletes’ rights and ensure a level playing field. The Canadian Sport Institute’s anti-doping policy reflects and supports the CADP.
While the CCES administers anti-doping for the Canadian sport community, you may also be subject to the rules of your international federation.
Recommended Actions
The CCES recommends that athletes take the following actions to ensure they do not commit an inadvertent anti-doping rule violation:

- Check all medications and products before taking them to ensure they do not contain ingredients that are banned.
