These two organizations were combined into a single governing body, reviewing the functions and powers of the federative activity in matters of doping, sports discipline and ensuring the legality of the selection processes taking place in Spanish sports organisations. It acts independently of CSD. In addition, TAD is also in charge of processing and deciding on disciplinary files, ultimately administrative, upon the request of the Supreme Sports Council President or the Board of Directors.
