Canadian officials investigate WADA over potential unauthorized sharing of athletes' personal data.

Canadian officials are investigating the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) over concerns about how it handles athletes' biological samples. The Privacy Commissioner will examine if WADA's practices comply with Canadian privacy laws. A complaint alleges that WADA shared personal data with international federations to assess athletes' sex-based eligibility without consent. WADA, established in 1999, has acknowledged the investigation and plans to clarify its position.
