It gathered leading intelligence and investigations professionals from around the world to promote knowledge-sharing, enhance cooperation, and bolster the global anti-doping framework.

Over the five-day workshop, participants took part in in-depth sessions covering key areas such as intelligence operations, investigative methodologies, managing confidential sources, open-source intelligence gathering, and effective analysis and interviewing techniques.

The discussions brought into focus the growing need for intelligence-led, collaborative efforts to protect athletes and preserve the values of fair and clean competition.

The workshop which was held from July 21-25 formed a key component of the Capability and Capacity Building Project, WADA’s flagship initiative to strengthen the Global Anti-Doping Intelligence and Investigations Network (GAIIN).

By encouraging global partnerships and reinforcing investigative capacity, the project aims to elevate the global response to doping through enhanced collaboration and information-sharing. India is proud to continue its contribution to this significant global initiative, with the final workshop scheduled to be held in April 2026.
