ABSTRACT
The previous chapters have shown that the WADA Code does not necessarily apply equally to all sportspersons. Non-elite athletes from developing countries suffer disproportionately. Lack of access to resources to fund their training and education on anti-doping rules is problematic. Further, the skewed balance between sports governing bodies and athletes disempowers the athletes. Consequently, non-elite athletes lack the means to meet the current policies of WADA and its Code. The non-elite perspective thus appears to be the missing link in the current anti-doping discourse.
