Abstract
Sports organizations, regulators, sponsors and athletes have become more and more concerned about anti-doping control. Despite the investments made in the past few years, recent studies show that Brazil´s sports confederations have not systematized the doping control process nor have they yet dealt satisfactorily with problems to do with transparency with regard to disclosing the results of tests. This study puts forward an Information System to support the Confederations in implementing anti-doping procedures. The Information System is being developed using an agile approach. To date, the Product Backlog has 133 functionalities, of which 71 have already been validated with some Olympic confederations. It is also hoped that the proposed integrated database of doping tests can help managers to draw up a public policy for this area.
