Montreal, June 2, 2004 – The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced today that its Executive Committee and Foundation Board will meet for the first time this year on June 20 and 21, respectively, in Montreal.
The Committee and Board will be updated on a number of issues including ongoing implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code by sports organizations prior to the Olympic Games in Athens.

Other topics to be addressed include an update on the International Convention on Doping in Sport, which is being drafted under the auspices of the United Nations organization UNESCO; plans for WADA activities at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, such as the presence of Independent Observer and Athlete Outreach teams; and a draft 2005 budget for the Agency.
