The leadership of the Azerbaijan National Anti-Doping Agency (AMADA) participated in the IV international conference on "The Role of Data Sciences in the Fight Against Doping", organized by the Tunisian National Anti-Doping Agency (ANAD).

This was reported to "Report" by AMADA.

The event brought together high-level representatives from the African continent and other regions. The conference was attended by experts from national anti-doping organizations, sports integrity units, law enforcement agencies, laboratories, and international organizations. Speakers, representing a wide professional and geographical spectrum from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, highlighted the globalizing nature of investigation-oriented and data-driven anti-doping activities.

AMADA Executive Director Tahmina Taghi-zade and Deputy Executive Director Rufat Efendiyev delivered a joint presentation at the conference entitled "The application of artificial intelligence in anti-doping: Between innovation and responsibility." Their presentation explored the possibilities of detecting doping through artificial intelligence tools, improving analytical activities and testing strategies. At the same time, adherence to fundamental principles such as protection of confidentiality, the concept of fair sports and ensuring legal procedures was emphasized. The presentation also specifically noted the importance of gender equality for inclusive and forward-looking anti-doping governance.

Other speakers touched upon topics such as the management of confidential data, forensic analysis, interagency cooperation, data integration methodologies, as well as strengthening relations between anti-doping authorities and law enforcement structures.

The conference once again demonstrated the growing interest in artificial intelligence, ethical guarantees and inclusiveness in the global anti-doping movement. Tunisia has strengthened its position as a regional center for dialogue and innovation in this area. Within the framework of the discussions, the speeches of the event participants reflected a common position that integrity in sports is related not only to the detection of doping, but also to justice, trust, and the long-term integrity of athletes and institutions.
