Our transition to the new integrity Commission
The way integrity is protected in our sporting community is changing – and Drug Free Sport New Zealand is an integral part of that. From 1 July 2024, we’ll become part of a new, independent commission tasked with safeguarding the integrity of sport and recreation in New Zealand. Despite the change, it will be business as usual for anti-doping.
