The focus of NADA's testing department is planning, coordinating and developing doping controls in German elite sports. Controls are organized both outside and within competitions (out-of and in-competition tests) to protect clean athletes. In addition to intelligent controlling and distribution of tests, the testing department is also responsible for assigning various analysis methods to be carried out at exclusively WADA accredited laboratories.
All doping tests that are carried out by NADA are carried out according to the International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI). Moreover, the testing division ensures the quality of controls and a uniform control system in Germany, by ensuring standardized processes, a professionally trained control staff, and clearly defined rights and duties.
Does NADA have its own doping controls personnel?
NADA does not have its own doping control personnel. We authorise external companies to carry out our controls.

ADAMS /Anti-Doping Administration and Management System) is WADA's global information system, which NADA uses as well. All athletes in the Registered Testing Pools (RTPs) and the National Testing Pool (NTP) are linked up to ADAMS, so that all whereabouts information is filed exclusively through ADAMS. The film explains the handling of ADAMS for athletes who use ADMAS for the first time.
