These were approved by the WADA Executive Committee at its latest meeting, which is in line with governance reforms for the next year.

From 2023 there will be just three standing committees, down from five, with the Finance and Administration Committee being reduced from 12 to six members.

These members are chair Ser Miang Ng of Singapore - an International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice-president - Jiri Kejval of the Czech Republic, Serbian United World Wrestling President Nenad Lalovic, Australia's Rebecca Tyler, Yan Qingping of China and an athlete representative from the WADA Athlete Council, who is still to be confirmed.

The Athlete Council is to replace the WADA Athlete Committee and will be elected and appointed by fellow athletes.

The Compliance Review Committee is no longer a standing committee either and is now considered a permanent special committee, although the membership must still be approved by the Executive Committee.

Henry Gourdji from Canada is the chair for this body.

Vered Deshe of Israel, Belgium's Tom Dielen - the World Archery secretary general - South Africa's Penny Heyns, Swiss-Briton Barbara Leishman and Michael Petrou from Cyprus complete the panel.

"WADA is grateful to its Committee members, who graciously volunteer their time and expertise to help the Agency achieve its collaborative worldwide mission for doping-free sport," said WADA President Witold Bańka. 

"Playing a key advisory role in policy and priority development for the Agency, these Committee members, are selected through a rigorous process of nomination and consideration to ensure the best members occupy these important roles. 

"Additionally, as part of WADA’s goals with regards to diversity, equity and inclusion, we are very pleased that nearly half of the appointed members are women; and that, 26 countries from all five continents are represented within the 2023 Committees."

Positions rotate annually, with nominations required six months before they are appointed, meaning in total there were 12 new members to these groups.

The two untouched bodies are the Education Committee and the Health, Medical and Research Committee.

Mali and France's Kadidiatou Tounkara is the Education Committee chair, joined by New Zealand's Sian Clancy, Canada's Karri Dawson, The Netherlands' Erik Duiven, Britain's Mark Harrington, India's Aditya Kumar, Slovenia's Nina Makuc, Brazil's Leonardo Mataruna, Zimbabwe's Anna Mguni, Shin Moon-kyue from South Korea, Japan's Mayumi Yamamoto and Belgium's Thierry Zintz.

The Health, Medical and Research Committee chair is Lars Engebretsen from Norway.

The other 11 members are Japan's Takao Akama, Reema Alhosani of United Arab Emirates, France's Xavier Bigard, South Africa's Wayne Derman, Germany's Lenka Dienstbach-Wech, American Matthew Fedoruk, Australian Andrew McLachlan, Britain's Yannis Pitsiladis, India's Malav Shroff, Germany's Christian Strasburger and Serbia's Milica Vukanisovic-Vesic.
