This essay examines the governing practices of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), an organization established in 1999 to cope with the crisis of illicit performance-enhancing drug use in international sport. The background, structure, and policies of WADA are analyzed while reflecting upon recent cultural studies debates on governmentality. In doing so, it is shown howWADA policies fundamentally work to police athletic bodies. Also demonstrated is that WADA embodies a First World, technologydriven governance of doping.
