INVESTIGATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE COURSE PARTICIPANTS, SWITZERLAND — OCTOBER 2012Good relationships between ASADA and relevant government and non-government agencies are critical toeliminating doping in sport. One of our vital partnerships is with the Australian Customs and Border ProtectionService (Customs), the agency responsible for seizing importations of prohibited substances entering Australia.During the year, we continually received assistance from Customs while also working collaboratively on a numberof individual investigations.In 2012–13, ASADA intelligence analysed 306 incident reports, 191 of which progressed to intelligence casestatus. Of these matters, 148 derived from external notification incidents (including 85 from Customs and 48 fromthe ACC), 37 from tip-offs and six from field incidents.During the reporting period, 52 cases which were identified as possible doping cases by the Intelligence teamadvanced to a full investigation.Cycling investigationCycling is one of the world’s most popular sports with millions of people either participating in the sport orspectating. Over the years, the sport has received much attention regarding the use of performance-enhancingsubstances by its athletes. This has been mainly due to the sanctioning of a number of high-profile athletes fordoping, including several winners of the prestigious Tour de France. In Australia, there have been 16 Australiancyclists sanctioned for anti-doping rule violations since ASADA’s creation in 2006.In 2010 ASADA became aware of allegations of doping against a former Australian cyclist by a professional cyclistfrom the United States. The Australian was still involved in the sport as a support person and was subject to thesport’s anti-doping policy. In light of the allegations, ASADA commenced gathering intelligence to ascertain thepossible validity of the accusations. However, due to a Federal investigation in the United States and a UnitedStates Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) investigation, ASADA was unable to obtain sufficient information to pursueits own investigation of the Australian. This situation remained unchanged until late 2012.On 10 October 2012, USADA published its ‘Reasoned Decision’ and supporting information in the LanceArmstrong case. In its decision USADA declared ‘the evidence showed beyond any doubt that the US PostalService Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport48
Report on performance ASADA ANNUAL REPORT 2012:13has ever seen’. The ‘Reasoned Decision’ by USADA also revealed the identity of the former Australian cyclist at thecentre of the 2010 allegations. Soon after the USADA announcement, this cyclist and another former Australiancyclist made public admissions of doping during their sporting career.Following the doping admissions by former Australian cyclists and the release of the ‘Reasoned Decision’ byUSADA, ASADA commenced an investigation into Australian cycling for potential anti-doping rule violations.In November 2012 the Minister for Sport appointed the Honourable James Wood AO QC to review Cycling Australia’sgovernance and administrative practices, as well as examining its anti-doping policies and practices. This review wasconducted independently from ASADA’s investigation and its findings were publicly released on 14 January 2013.The Government responded to the review and supported all recommendations in its report dated 25 January 2013.As at 30 June 2013, ASADA’s investigation of Australian cycling remains ongoing.Operation CobiaBetween 2009–10 and 2010–11 ASADA became aware of significant increases in the detection of Performanceand Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) at the Australian border and commenced an investigation into possible linkswith Australian sport (Operation Cobia). While gathering intelligence, Operation Cobia identified possible criminallinks and this information was referred to the ACC.On 7 February 2013, the ACC released the findings of its 12-month investigation into the integrity of Australiansport and the relationship between professional sporting bodies, prohibited substances and organised crime.The ACC investigation (codenamed Project Aperio) was carried out with the support of ASADA and the TherapeuticGoods Administration (TGA).Among the ACC’s key findings was the use of prohibited substances including peptides, hormones and illicit drugsin professional sport. This use had been facilitated by sports scientists, high-performance coaches and sports staff.In some cases, players were allegedly administered with substances that had not yet been approved for human use.At the conclusion of its investigation the ACC referred its findings of potential anti-doping rule violations to ASADAto commence its own formal investigation as required under legislation.ACC PROJECT APERIO REPORT49
