The Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organization (RADO) was established by National Olympic Committees from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Tonga; with the support of the Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC) and the assistance of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on 25-26 October 2004 in Sydney, Australia. The establishment of the Oceania RADO is premised on the recognition that:

• Sport is a critical component of the social, economic and politics development of Oceania region countries;

• Sport is effective and ethical when practiced free of drugs or doping.

• Spirit of fair play and mutual respect for everybody involved.

• The member countries of Oceania region need to pool resources and expertise in order to play a critical role in combating the scourge of drugs and doping in sport.
