PASO/WADA Agreement and Compliance

An Agreement was signed between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and PASO to

permit an IO Team to observe all aspects of the doping control program for the XVI Pan

American Games. The terms of the Agreement were met with full cooperation from

PASO, who ensured that the IO Team had full access to any and all resources to fulfill its

mission, even taking into consideration some logistical problems that occurred in the

first week of the IO Team activities.

The PASO anti-doping rules were covered through Section XII of their Statutes and the

accompanying Doping Control Manual, which was deemed “an essential component and

compliment to the PASO Statutes and the Regulations of the Pan American Games”.

These Rules were accepted, for the purposes of this mission and Report, as meeting the

obligations of PASO to adopt and implement rules in line with the World Anti-Doping

Code.
