The Spanish Anti-Doping Agency, officially Spanish Commission for the Fight Against Doping in Sports (CELAD), is a Spanish state agency responsible for the protection of the right to health of all athletes and the protection of the right to participate in a competition without cheats.[3]
For the purposes provided in the World Anti-Doping Code and in the internal regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Commission is considered the National Anti-Doping Organization (NADOs).
Also, in its capacity as a body specialized in the investigation, control and execution of the policy against doping in sport, the Commission is configured as the state public body for advice and collaboration with the law enforcement agencies, the judicial police and other public administrations with powers related to their scope of action and, if requested, with the judges and courts.[3]
