PHI-NADO JOINS GLOBAL ANTI-DOPING LEADERS AT GAIIN FINAL WORKSHOP IN NEW DELHI

The Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization (PHI-NADO) participated in the Final Conference of the Global Anti-Doping Intelligence & Investigations Network held on April 16, 2026 in New Delhi, India, marking the culmination of the network’s Asia/Oceania expansion phase. Representing PHI-NADO at the summit was Mr. Cesar D. Cordero Jr., Administrative Assistant II.

The high-level conference brought together stakeholders from over 65 countries, alongside key international partners such as INTERPOL and EUROPOL, to strengthen a coordinated global approach against doping in sport.

Leaders from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), including President Witold Bańka and Intelligence & Investigations (I&I) Director Gunter Younger, highlighted the growing importance of targeting athlete support personnel and trafficking networks. The conference emphasized strengthening legal frameworks to hold coaches, medical professionals, and suppliers accountable for their role in doping violations.

On the other hand, a key regional focus was India’s role in the global pharmaceutical supply chain. Mansukh Mandaviya, India’s Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, announced plans to introduce criminal provisions for the trafficking and administration of PEDs, reinforcing the country’s commitment to anti-doping reforms.

Looking ahead, WADA outlined the continued expansion of GAIIN into the Americas by 2026-2027, followed by Africa in 2028-2029. The initiative signals a long-term global commitment to intelligence-led anti-doping strategies and deeper collaboration with law enforcement and customs agencies.

PHI-NADO’s participation in the GAIIN Final Conference reaffirms its commitment to strengthening intelligence-driven anti-doping efforts and aligning with international best practices as it continues to enhance its investigative capabilities and contribute to the protection of clean sport both nationally and internationally.
