The National Anti -Doping Agency of Azerbaijan (Amada), which is actively involved in anti -doping activity at the international level, continues to contribute to this direction. Amada Director Shafag Huseynli was appointed to the assessment delegation created to monitor the observance of the anti -doping convention conducted by the Council of Europe together with the World Anti -Doping Agency (WADA).

In addition to the representative of Azerbaijan, AMADA director Shafag Huseynli, representatives of the Secretariat of the Council of Europe, WADA, as well as Cyprus, France, Poland and Belgium were appointed to the assessment delegation.

As part of the visit, the delegation held a meeting with state bodies for youth and sports, judicial police and customs authorities, the National Anti -Doping Organization, the Sports Arbitration Court and the Disciplinary Committee, as well as the Olympic and Paralympic Committee and National Sports Federations.

During bilateral meetings, the legislation of the country, the structure and activities of the National Anti -Doping Agency, the anti -doping activities of state institutions and sports organizations, as well as the state measures to prevent the use and spread of doping were discussed.
