The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has decided this week the continuation of its support for the research Program AFT. This new phase will incorporate in parallel the internationalization of the Program AFT (access for athletes of all nationalities / realised analysis in all countries included in the platform AFT) and a development test, in the context of the biological passport, of a specific software module compatible with the ADAMS system, allowing sample management.

 
This decision is an important phase of what we've always wanted to do since 4 years to provide an international forum of expression for athletes volunteers who wish to engage actively in the anti-doping (program AFT) and to contribute in parallel to the installation (phase 1 = pilot study) and development (specific software module) of biological passport .

 
The launch of the new international platform program AFT and the demonstration internally at the WADA of the beta version of the specific software module for sample management is scheduled for May 01, 2008. The  program AFT thus will undergo a number of developments, to be easiest for athletes (sms and mail only without printing paper) but also to allow an expansion of procedures carried out internally.
