The federal privacy watchdog has opened an investigation into the World Anti-Doping Agency’s handling of biological samples collected from athletes.

The office of privacy commissioner Philippe Dufresne says the investigation will examine whether the collection, use and disclosure practices of the organization respect Canada’s personal information law for the private sector.
