LAUSANNE Jan 24 (TNS): The Foundation Board of the ITA, along with its Chair Dr Valérie Fourneyron, held its first meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, which marks a further step on the organisation’s road to becoming fully operational in early 2018.
IOC President Thomas Bach also addressed the Board and expressed his enthusiastic support for the ITA’s mission to provide anti-doping services to those International Federations (IFs) and Major Event Organisers (MEOs) that wish to delegate their anti-doping programs to a body that operates independent of sports organisations’ and national interests.
The ITA is another example of how the Olympic Movement is focused on the future and on ensuring a level playing field for international athletes through organisational and technical innovations.
“The establishment of the ITA is a decisive step in the fight against doping, I am proud to be its Chair,” said ITA Chair Valérie Fourneyron.
“By quickly becoming operational, the ITA will allow an increasing number of IFs and MEOs to make use of its services, thus strengthening the trust that athletes and the sports movement have in the fight against doping, and in the protection of clean athletes,” she added.

The Doping-Free Sport Unit (DFSU) of the Global Association of International Sports Organisations (GAISF) will remain intact and become the operational nucleus of the ITA, ensuring the staff expertise required to provide anti-doping services under its new, independent governance structure.
