About AMOCAD
History, mission, values, strengths, brand identity, team and organisational structure of the Mozambican Anti-Doping Agency.
Since then, AMOCAD has been structuring the national anti-doping control system, in coordination with the Ministry of Sport and Culture, the Mozambican Olympic Committee and national sports federations.
Over the years, the agency has consolidated sample collection processes, results management and preventive education, following the annual updates of the list of prohibited substances and methods published by WADA.
