SAIDS management further submitted that due to the new paradigm shift within the anti-doping arena, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had adopted a new code. Therefore the scope of anti-doping standards have become sophisticated and necessitated that SAIDS should enhance its sports law capacity. SAIDS intended to submit proposals for amendments to the current Anti-Doping Act. Furthermore, a proposal had been submitted to the national court of arbitration in sport. They further would like to establish offices in all the nine provinces in order to fulfil their mandate nationally. Therefore SAIDS had a shortfall of R8.5 million when all costs were combined to meet the aforesaid challenges.
