The study gives an analysis of the modern history of doping in the Olympic sports, the IOC track record struggling with doping and the 1999-founded World Anti-Doping Agency activity for this period geared to root out doping in sports. The study shows that the long-term efforts of the WADA, despite its fast growing financial, staffing and legal capacities, its high-intensity propaganda offensive, multiple tests and cruel sanctioning policies supported by a few authoritative multilateral organizations like UN, UNESCO, Council of Europe etc. – have failed to near a solution of the doping problem and even made the problem more acute and increasingly dangerous for the image and popularity of the Olympic movement. This negative trend is due to not only the sharply growing competition in elite sports associated with the growing social, political and commercial benefits of the Olympic accomplishments, but also to the genuinely wrong methodology in the very basis of the WADA activity that neglects the achievements of biology, medicine, sport science and modern elite sport practices and gives a top priority to opinions of lawyers, economists and “universal managers”. The study overviews the WADA and its certified anti-doping laboratories performance for the period that have largely contributed to the multiple crisis effects going far beyond the Olympic sports proper; and outlines the potential ways out of the heavy crisis in the subject area.

Keywords: doping in Olympic sports, anti-doping activity of WADA, World Anti-Doping Code, WADA Prohibited List, crisis phenomena, rights of athletes and sport physicians.
