An information system to support the Anti-doping process

Abstract

It is apparent that regulators, sponsors, athletes and sports organizations have become more and more concerned about doping control. Despite the investments made in the past few years, recent studies show that Brazil´s sports confederations have not systematized the doping control process nor have they yet dealt satisfactorily with problems to do with transparency with regard to disclosing the results of tests. This study puts forward an Information System to support the Confederations in reviewing and implementing anti-doping measures and procedures. It is also hoped that the proposed integrated database of doping tests can help managers to draw up a public policy for this area.
