For the National Anti Doping Agency of Germany (NADA Germany), Dr. Sabrina Schoeps, staff member in the Testing department, is part of the Pre-Games Expert Group as a representative. The group is responsible for drafting the recommendations for an international pre-Olympic testing programme for Paris 2024. Schoeps brings important experience from the Testing Programme in Germany to this group.
In order to develop the recommendations, adjustments of previous pre-Olympic risk assessments were identified, information such as the doping history of the participating countries, the doping history of the Olympic sports/disciplines as well as other information from the different countries was collected and potential testing gaps were identified.
The Pre-Games Expert Group is led by the International Testing Agency (ITA). The International Olympic Committee (IOC), as the responsible organisation for the Olympic Games, has delegated its responsibilities related to the implementation of the anti-doping programme for the Games to the ITA. In addition to Dr Sabrina Schoeps, Laura Lewis (USADA), Linglin (CHINADA) and Alejandro Lozano (World Athletics) are members of the Pre-Games Expert Group.
