SLOADO

What SLOADO does

SLOADO (Slovenska antidoping organizacija) is the legally designated national anti-doping organization of the Republic of Slovenia, established on September 25, 2013 by the Olympic Committee of Slovenia – Association of Sports Federations (OKS-ZŠZ) and operating under the World Anti-Doping Code and WADA international standards. Its mandate covers the detection, deterrence, and prevention of doping in sport across Slovenia.

The organization's core service portfolio comprises doping control (in-competition and out-of-competition testing), therapeutic use exemption processing, annual publication of the prohibited list, athlete and support-personnel education, rule-violation management, and anonymous reporting via the Žvižgavka whistleblower portal. Technology consists of the WADA-developed ADAMS platform integrated for test planning, results management, and athlete whereabouts tracking, alongside the proprietary 'Preveri zdravilo' (Check Medication) application that allows athletes to verify medication status against the current prohibited list. An e-learning platform delivers certified anti-doping education.

SLOADO is a non-profit entity funded via government grants, explicitly co-financed by FŠO (Fundacija za šport) under oversight of MGTŠ (Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport). It serves athletes subject to WADA rules, Slovenian sports federations, and competition organizers; engagement is delivered through direct outreach, on-site testing at events such as the 29th Ljubljana Marathon 2025, and digital self-service channels. The organization participates in the CEADO regional network and operates the ten-year Nacionalni protidopinški program 2024-2033 as its strategic framework.
