Intelligence gives us insight into, and understanding of, specific sport integrity issues. We share intelligence with our partner agencies and other stakeholders to gain a more holistic understanding and awareness of integrity threats to sport.

Intelligence is the foundation on which we can support sporting organisations and our other stakeholders in the prevention, detection and disruption of integrity threats. It helps to reduce the level of uncertainty in our decision making and makes us agile and responsive to evolving and new sport integrity threats. 

We use timely and informed intelligence assessments to guide anti-doping testing missions, education and engagement activities, investigations and many other operational and strategic activities.

How we use intelligence

Our intelligence team looks closely at raw (often unrelated) pieces of information. We draw meaning from what we find and write assessments. 

These assessments are used to help us develop many activities such as:

  • future anti-doping testing missions
  • education and engagement activities
  • investigations

We analyse information from many different sources including: 

  • members of the public
  • members of the sporting community, such as athletes and support personnel
  • other government agencies
  • national sporting organisations
  • law enforcement agencies
