The FIFA Executive Programme in Anti-doping (FEPAD) is aimed at providing an in-depth analysis of the main regulatory, institutional and scientific aspects of anti-doping in sport. The interaction between the WADA Code, Sports Governing Bodies regulations and national legislation has led a considerable complexity in this field. Handling a doping case either at the result management stage or before the judicial bodies of a national or international federation or the Court of Arbitration for Sport requires a holistic approach. While the Executive Programme in Anti-doping is mainly focused on the legal and institutional aspects of the anti-doping landscape, a basic approach over the most relevant scientific aspects of this complex phenomenon is also provided.
