SAADC Chairman Ahmad Saleh Bin Nasser said, "We expect to further strengthen the anti-doping management system of the Saudi Arabian Anti-Doping Agency through cooperation with KADA, a leading anti-doping organization. We will contribute to creating a clean and fair sports environment based on the exchange of expertise between both institutional investors."
