I had the privilege of being a member of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the British Olympic Association (BOA) for seven years covering the period 2001 to 2007.
Around the time I joined the NOC, the new World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was developing a global set of rules for anti-doping titled the World Anti-Doping Code.
They were consulting widely through National Anti-Doping Agencies and National Olympic Committees.
