title: Autoridade Brasileira de Controle de Dopagem (ABCD).
abstract: The creation of the ABCD and the inclusion for the first time of a provision of financial resources in the Government's General Budget Forecast, demonstrates the degree of Brazil's commitment in the fight against doping. This as we seek to know and evaluate these models of excellence to help to structure and develop our own doping control operations, always taking into account the Brazilian reality.
