The "Criticism" section seems rather, eh, is "petty" the word? It is not exactly the big lines being criticized.--Per Abrahamsen 16:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

it's neccessary since WADA guys are just giving cheap evidence against the use of steroids. --Andersmusician NO 01:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

The critisicm section

I'm pretty sure the big lines abovementioned are WADA itself and the values it stands for. 109.65.16.89 (talk)

It has been said that we will eventually reach a phase where the general public will be more fit than WADA probed&certified athletes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.65.16.89 (talk) 23:23, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

WADA Allows drug cheats to perform

Wada's raison d'être seems at odd with its policy of allowing drug cheats to perform at the 2012 Olympics

WADA - pronunciation?

Is it WADA with an 'a' like in 'cat', or the 'a' in 'day'? Or is it spelled out "the W.A.D.A."? Could someone please add this to the intro? Malick78 (talk) 21:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

"russian" hacking group Fancy Bears

"After reviewing the two domains provided by WADA, it was found that the websites' registration and hosting information were consistent with the Russian hacking group Fancy Bears"

Please submit official proof that the Russian group. Need proof, not a hysterical statement, WADA or american bawlers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dankodrake (talk • contribs) 16:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

A citation has been added. Whether or not this "proves" to your satisfaction that the group are Russian I don't know, all us editors can do is provide verifiability, not truth. --LukeSurl ^{t c} 20:03, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

"Whereabouts" controversy

This section doesn't seem to detail any actual controversy and should be renamed (which I will do if no-one raises any objections). Spike 'em (talk) 13:41, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Sun Yang incident

I'm removing most of the text on the Sun Yang incident. Reasons:

• Most of it does not have to do with actual criticism of WADA. It's an accounting of the controversy (and in my opinion, a particularly biased one). In any case, this controversy is well-covered in the page Sun Yang and need not be repeated here except for a summary.
• It seems most of the criticism of WADA came from Sun Yang and Chinese media. This has to be made clear.
• Much of the language in the removed text was non neutral or clearly an opinion by the author. See comments from specific edits I made before the final removal.

CoE Anti-Doping Convention: Number of signatories

The article claims the Convention has 48 signatories, including "the Council of Europe". The CoE can't be a signatory to anything as it's not a country, so I changed this to "all Council of Europe member states" which appears to be correct. But according to the article Council of Europe, there are 47 CoE member states. Add the non-member signatories mentioned here and you get 51, not 48. Unfortunately the CoE website lists only CoE members as signatories, so more sources are needed. Hairy Dude (talk) 17:39, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

• I found the CoE website doesn't display the non-member signatories on the list for some reason, but it does display them on the map - which is frustratingly hidden if you are viewing the page with a phone in portrait mode. Counting all the members yields 47, and adding the five non-member signatories (including Morocco, who weren't mentioned previously) gives 52. I also added a source for this information.
