Abstract

The national and international battle for clean and fair sport is in danger of losing sight of data protection and the personal rights of the athletes concerned. Through ADAMS ("Anti-Doping Administration and Management System"), the World Anti-Doping Agency has introduced a web-based registration system with a monitoring and control potential which is almost like that of an electronic tag. European objections have caused data protection standards to be raised to some extent in the worldwide fight against doping, but there remain substantial reservations with regard to data protection.
