2026-07-24

The China Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) and the International Testing Agency (ITA) have renewed their collaboration agreement, reinforcing their shared commitment to the protection of athletes, the promotion of clean sport and the effective delivery of joint anti-doping programs.

The renewed agreement provides a framework for continued cooperation between the two organizations, including the coordination of testing activities, the exchange of relevant anti-doping information and intelligence, cooperation on sample collection and other anti-doping services, and the development of joint activities in areas such as education and workforce training.

The collaboration between CHINADA and ITA has developed over several years and has facilitated the smooth implementation of anti-doping programs at major events hosted in China, including the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, the Asian Winter Games Harbin 2025 and The World Games 2025 in Chengdu.

Building on this renewed collaboration, CHINADA and ITA will seek greater impact and efficiencies in their joint anti-doping work and promote broader alignment between national and international anti-doping programs.

Based on the renewed agreement, CHINADA and ITA will enter another round of intensive collaboration for the World Aquatics Swimming Championships to be held in Beijing this December.

CHINADA has established collaborations with a wide range of International Federations (IFs), National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs), Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs) and other stakeholders worldwide for anti-doping programs in both routine operations and major events. Moving forward, CHINADA will maintain an open stance to actively collaborate with relevant stakeholders, working collectively to promote clean sport globally.
