GATINEAU, Que. — Canada’s privacy commissioner is launching an investigation into the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The move comes after Philippe Dufresne’s office received a complaint about the Montreal-based agency’s handling of biological samples collected from athletes.
In a release, the office says the investigation will examine whether the collection, use, and disclosure practices of WADA comply with Canada’s federal private-sector privacy law (known as PIPEDA, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).
The investigation follows a complaint alleging that WADA has disclosed personal information to international sporting federations.
