OVERVIEW ASADA <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2006</strong>:<strong>07</strong><br />
Redefining anti-doping<br />
The past 12 months have seen ASADA build and apply its new functions and powers<br />
in pursuit of Pure Performance in <strong>Australian</strong> sport. On behalf of the ASADA members,<br />
I want to thank the hard working ASADA staff for embracing the challenge to launch an<br />
anti‐doping agency unlike any other in international sport.<br />
I also wish to thank the Minister for the Arts and Sport, Senator the Hon. George Brandis<br />
SC and the former Minister for the Arts and Sport, Senator the Hon. Rod Kemp for their<br />
commitment to Pure Performance in <strong>Australian</strong> sport.<br />
In a short period of time, ASADA has redefined anti-doping by building a unique capability<br />
integrating traditional testing with broad powers of investigation. Never before in <strong>Australian</strong><br />
sporting history has an athlete or athlete support person involved in doping stood a greater<br />
chance of being detected and sanctioned than they do today through the powers and<br />
work of ASADA.<br />
