1) The Association Athletes For Transparency (AFT) introduced early April at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in the presence of officials ADAMS (Anti-Doping Administration and Management System) version 1.0 which is a demonstration version of a computer module (SAMM) management and analysis of samples for biological priority of the passport of the athlete. The principle of SAMM (Sampling and Analysis Management Module) is the optimal use of resources and cross existing logistics represented notably by the International Federations / National Federation / Organisations National Anti-Doping and their respective networks of samplers at doping controls.
The three options for WADA in relation to the development and contracting of SAMM are: a) The development of a fully integrated module in ADAMS b) The development of a module separate but compatible and interface with ADAMS c) The lack of interest in the development of this module Pending the decision of WADA (expected around April 30) developments on the international platform of "Programme AFT 2008" continues. In case of positive response from WADA testing situation SAMM could be made on the panel of athletes included in the voluntary program AFT. 2) The developments between the Research Program 2006-2007 and the "Program AFT 2008" theoretically be operational from 01 May 2008. Broadly speaking, if the operation was easier for athletes, resident important developments especially in the possibility of carrying out analyses in all countries activated on the platform, in the type of analysis possible (matrices and techniques used) , In building a serum as well as the processing of data displayed. The "Programme AFT 2008" and incorporates a unique way all the most significant advances in the fight doping on the basis of individual initiative and voluntary athlete. 3) The company "Alter Systems," joined us in the context of developments related to both the international platform "Programme AFT 2008" and SAMM.
