About ADAMAS
Who We Are
Malaysia’s National Anti-Doping Organization
-
The Copenhagen Declaration
Malaysia’s commitment to clean sport began in 2003 when the Ministry of Youth and Sports signed the Copenhagen Declaration on Anti-Doping in Sport, adopted at the 2nd World Conference on Doping in Sport in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Declaration reflects the commitment of governments to support the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code.
-
An international framework
Following Cabinet approval on 2 August 2006, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ratified the UNESCO International Convention against Doping in Sport 2005 in November 2006. This ratification provides Malaysia with a binding international legal framework to align national anti-doping policies and practices with the World Anti-Doping Code.
-
The establishment of ADAMAS
In May 2007, the Ministry of Youth and Sports formally accepted the World Anti-Doping Code. Subsequently, the Malaysian Anti-Doping Agency (ADAMAS) was established as an Anti-Doping Unit under the administrative supervision of the National Sports Institute (ISN).
-
National governance
ADAMAS operates as Malaysia’s National Anti-Doping Organization (NADO) in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code and the applicable International Standards. In mid-2016, ADAMAS was administratively separated from ISN and placed directly under the supervision of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS), strengthening national governance and coordination of anti-doping activities in Malaysia.
