Anti-Doping Norway

Anti-Doping Norway (Norwegian: Antidoping Norge) is a private foundation that claims to be "responsible for prohibiting, investigating and prosecuting doping in Norway,"[1] although it has no official authority in the judiciary of Norway. It is recognised by the World Anti-Doping Agency as the national anti-doping organization by that organization.[2] As of 2019, it employs 34 persons[3] and conducted 4500 doping tests in 2018.[4]

History

The foundation was established in 2003 by the Ministry of Culture and Norwegian Confederation of Sports.[5]

The organization was given funding for the first time by the State budget of Norway, in 2013.[6]
