Eesti Antidopingu ja Spordieetika Sihtasutus

What Eesti Antidopingu ja Spordieetika Sihtasutus does

Eesti Antidopingu ja Spordieetika Sihtasutus (EADSE) is the designated National Anti-Doping Organization (NADO) of Estonia, established in 2019 as a non-profit foundation (Sihtasutus) headquartered at Sõjakooli 10, Tallinn. The organization operates under the World Anti-Doping Code (WADA), the UNESCO Anti-Doping Convention, and the Macolin Convention, and it is closely affiliated with the Estonian Ministry of Culture. Its mandate extends beyond classical doping control to cover competition manipulation prevention, safeguarding against abuse and harassment in sport, event safety, and broader sports ethics and fair play. EADSE serves Estonian athletes, sports federations, coaches, schools, parents, and government bodies through testing coordination, Therapeutic Use Exemption administration, education programs, and the Spordivalvur anonymous whistleblower platform.

The organization's product surface comprises three core digital tools: the Spordivalvur reporting platform (spordivalvur.eadse.ee) for anonymous intake of doping, match-fixing, abuse, and safety incidents; a Drug/Medication Search tool (Ravimiotsing) that cross-references medications against the WADA prohibited list; and a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) management system for medical exemption applications. Testing operations include urine, blood, and Dry Blood Spot (DBS) sample collection coordinated by a dedicated Doping Control Manager and Coordinator. Education delivery occurs via school classroom visits (over 900 participants reached during Sport Week in September 2023), seminars on topics such as food supplement risks, and participation in international conferences including the Lausanne 'Clean Sport in Action' event.

EADSE does not generate commercial revenue. Its funding comes from Estonian government appropriations through the Ministry of Culture and from international institutional partnerships, including WADA, the Council of Europe, INTERPOL, UNESCO, iNADO, the International Testing Agency, the NB8 Nordic-Baltic cooperation network (formalized via a 2024 cooperation agreement), ULIS (joined December 2023), and the EU ERASMUS+ programme. The foundation is staffed by approximately 10–11 individuals covering board governance, investigation, testing, education, communications, legal (added in 2026), and safeguarding functions, with awards in 2023 from the President of the Republic of Estonia recognizing both violence prevention and children's protection work.

Direct peers

• Danish Anti-Doping Agency (ADD): Denmark's national anti-doping organization and named EADSE partner through the 2023 ERASMUS+ staff exchange in Copenhagen. Shares the NADO mandate, testing operations, and integrity-prevention scope.
• Lithuanian Anti-Doping Agency: Lithuania's national anti-doping organization, also a participant in the Baltic NADO Symposium and ERASMUS+ mobility program alongside EADSE. Comparable mandate, scale, and institutional model.
• Swedish Sports Confederation (Riksidrottsförbundet) Anti-Doping: Sweden's anti-doping function sits inside the national sports confederation rather than a standalone agency, but discharges the same NADO mandate under WADA and is part of the NB8 network that EADSE belongs to.
• Latvian Anti-Doping Office: Latvia's national anti-doping organization and Baltic counterpart named in the 2023 Baltic NADO Symposium EADSE hosted. Operates with a similar mandate and resource base in an adjacent national market.
• Finnish Sports Ethics Center (SUEK): Finland's national anti-doping and sports ethics body, explicitly listed as an EADSE partner via ERASMUS+ exchange. Operates the same NADO mandate under WADA and covers anti-doping, ethics, and safeguarding in a similarly sized market.
