Nationale Anti Doping Ag

What Nationale Anti Doping Ag does

Nationale Anti Doping Agentur Deutschland (NADA) is Germany's designated national anti-doping organization, established in 2002 and headquartered in Bonn. Operating as a foundation (Stiftung) under German law, NADA is the sole domestic body recognized by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to coordinate doping controls, Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), and anti-doping rule enforcement across German elite and competitive sport. It serves athletes, sports physicians, national federations, and the Federal Ministry of the Interior, with no commercial customer base.

NADA's core product suite is a set of digital platforms and information services: NADAmed (a medication reference database for athletes and medical professionals), ADAMS (WADA's Anti-Doping Administration & Management System, operated by NADA for German-registered athletes), the TUE-Navigator (a decision-support tool for therapeutic use exemption applications), the Kölner Liste (a positive list of medications and supplements considered safe for athletes), and the "Digitale Beispielliste." The organization supplements these with mobile applications on iOS and Android, dedicated prevention campaigns ("GEMEINSAM GEGEN DOPING," "Dein Sport. Deine Entscheidung."), and the NADAinformiert webinar series for athlete and medical-professional education.

NADA generates no commercial revenue. Its operating budget is funded principally through the Bundesministerium des Innern und für Heimat, with supplementary support from the City of Bonn, the DOSB (German Olympic Sports Confederation), the Sport Ministerkonferenz, and Deutsche Sporthilfe. Services are provided free of charge to athletes and sports organizations. The organization's competitive position rests on its WADA designation, statutory mandate, and the embedded use of its digital tools across the German sports ecosystem.
