This book is a comprehensive practice-oriented guide to the evidentiary regime under the 2015
World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) including the functioning of the Athlete Biological Passport. It
is the first to show how the interplay between science and law affects the collection and
evaluation of evidence in anti-doping and how paradigm shifts in anti-doping strategies may
modify evidentiary assumptions implicit to the WADC regime.Unique in its dealing with the
subtleties of anti-doping science and legal implications the book gives lawyers involved in
anti-doping the keys to a better understanding of the science underlying the WADC regime while
providing anti-doping scientists with the first reference material to understand the legal
framework in which their activities are embedded.The emphasis of the book is on international
doping cases and it relies predominantly on CAS awards published up to Spring 2015. Written by
an experienced Swiss lawyer it provides aninsight into the Swiss legal system and its
importance for the legal practice in doping matters.Marjolaine Viret is an attorney-at-law in
Geneva Switzerland specialising in sports and health law. She has gained significant
experience in sports arbitration as a senior associate in one of Switzerland's leading law
firms. She also holds positions within committees in sport in particular as a member of the

in 2015. She participates as a researcher in a project for a commentary of the 2015 WADC funded
by the National Science Foundation and is regularly invited to lecture or speak in various
