• The agency has not publicly named any athletes sanctioned for doping since March 2020, with ARD-Dopingredaktion research finding 99 unpublished cases and estimating 70–130 unnamed offenders.
• At its June 3 press conference in Berlin, NADA chief Lars Mortsiefer affirmed the agency will await a harmonized decision from the European Court of Justice expected by year-end.
• NADA’s 2024 review recorded 12,100 doping tests, 93 suspected violations, 20 sanctions, 16 criminal referrals and 300 reporting or control lapses.
• WADA and the majority of European NADOs continue to disclose sanctioned athletes under the World Anti-Doping Code, with WADA branding Germany’s non-publication as disappointing.
• NADA is working with WADA and counterpart agencies to establish legally robust, uniform guidelines for publishing anti-doping sanctions.
