What Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organisation does

The Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organisation (ORADO) is a non-profit regional body established in October 2004 to coordinate anti-doping activities across Pacific Island nations under the World Anti-Doping Code and the UNESCO Convention on Anti-Doping. Headquartered in Suva, Fiji with approximately 6 staff, ORADO serves as a regional service provider for 17 National Anti-Doping Organization (NADO) member countries spanning the Pacific, including American Samoa, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. Its core service portfolio includes doping control testing coordination, clean sport education and outreach, Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) processing via the ADAMS platform, training of Doping Control Officers and sample collection personnel, the Athlete Whereabouts Programme for Registered Testing Pool athletes, and the Speak Out confidential reporting channel.

ORADO's business model is grant- and member-contribution funded rather than commercial; it does not publicly disclose pricing and operates as a coordinator rather than a product vendor. The organization functions as the regional implementation node for WADA's international standards, working in coordination with the Oceania National Olympic Committees, Sports Integrity Australia, and Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui. Governance is led by Acting CEO Siniva Setareki and Doping Control Programme Manager Quintyn Stephen. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or commercial revenue streams; sustainability is tied to continued member-country obligations under the WADA framework and supporting grants from international sports integrity bodies.

Core offering

ORADO is a regional non-profit organization that coordinates anti-doping activities for 17 Pacific Island member countries. Its core services include coordinating doping control testing programmes, delivering clean sport education and outreach, processing Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), training Doping Control Officers and sample collection personnel, managing the Athlete Whereabouts Programme for Registered Testing Pool athletes, and operating a confidential Speak Out reporting channel — all under the World Anti-Doping Code and UNESCO Convention on Anti-Doping.

Product overview

ORADO offers a coordinated suite of anti-doping services rather than a traditional software product. The core offering consists of Testing Coordination (managing sample collection across 17 Pacific nations), Clean Sport Education (outreach and education for athletes and support personnel), Therapeutic Use Exemption Processing (handling TUE applications via ADAMS), Sample Collection Personnel Training (training DCOs and chaperones), the Athlete Whereabouts Programme (managing RTP requirements and quarterly filing), and the Speak Out Programme (confidential doping reporting). These services support member countries in fulfilling their obligations under the World Anti-Doping Code and UNESCO Convention on Anti-Doping.

Direct peers

• Sport Integrity Australia: Australia's national anti-doping and sport integrity agency and a core ORADO member. It performs the same NADO-coordination role within Australia that ORADO performs across the broader Oceania region, including testing coordination, education, TUE processing, and integrity intelligence — differing mainly in national versus regional scope.
• International Testing Agency (ITA): Independent body that coordinates anti-doping testing for international federations and major events. Comparable to ORADO in mandate (testing coordination, TUE review) but operating at the international rather than regional level, and acting as a service provider rather than a regional coordinator.
• UK Anti-Doping (UKAD): The UK's national anti-doping body, delivering a directly comparable suite of services (testing, education, TUE administration) under the World Anti-Doping Code. Operates at a much larger national scale but with the same functional mandate as ORADO.
• Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES): Canada's national anti-doping and values-based sport organization. Comparable to ORADO in offering the same core anti-doping services (testing, TUE, education) under the World Anti-Doping Code, with a broader values/ethics mandate.
• Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui: New Zealand's independent sports integrity body (formerly Drug Free Sport New Zealand) and a core ORADO member. It fulfills a directly comparable role to ORADO for New Zealand athletes, operating under the same World Anti-Doping Code framework with testing, TUE, and education services.
• Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA): Japan's national anti-doping organization. Performs the same testing coordination, education, and TUE processing role for Japanese athletes as ORADO does across Pacific Island nations, under the same World Anti-Doping Code.
• US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA): The national anti-doping organization for the United States, performing the same testing coordination, education, and TUE processing mandate that ORADO performs for Oceania — but at national rather than multi-country regional scale.
• Korean Anti-Doping Agency (KADA): South Korea's national anti-doping agency. Delivers the same testing coordination, TUE processing, and education mandate under the World Anti-Doping Code that ORADO performs for the Oceania region, at national rather than regional scale.

Broad incumbents

• World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA): The global regulator that establishes the World Anti-Doping Code under which ORADO operates. WADA is a broad incumbent whose Code, Prohibited List, ADAMS platform, and International Standards underpin ORADO's service delivery across Oceania.
• Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU): The independent integrity body for World Athletics, handling anti-doping for one sport globally. Comparable in mandate (testing coordination, education, TUE, integrity intelligence) but sport-specific rather than regional, and operating internationally.
