"The Olympic Summit is making the following in-principle proposals for a more robust, more efficient, more transparent and more harmonised WADA anti-doping system… A new anti-doping testing authority within the framework of WADA to be established," the declaration read.
IOC President Thomas Bach, commenting on the issue, said that the committee would like to see new testing authority operating before the 2018 Games.
The summit also urged to make "the entourage of athletes, including coaches, doctors, physiotherapists and other officials, to be held criminally responsible for facilitating doping."
In order to make the anti-doping system more independent from national interests "WADA to be given stronger authority over the National Anti-Doping Organisations (NADOs)."
The IOC promises to increase WADA funding following the successful implementation of reforms in the agency.
"The Olympic Movement is ready to contribute to an increased financing along with its partners, the governments. The increase in financing depends on the implementation of the reforms by WADA and is based on the results provided by WADA after the review of the anti-doping system," the declaration read.
The doping scandal, simmering since 2014, escalated in July when WADA presented a report accusing Russia of running a state-wide doping program and urging the IOC to consider a blanket ban on the entire Russian team. The IOC instead opted to let individual sports federations decide on the matter.
In turn, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) banned all Russian Paralympic athletes from the upcoming 2016 Summer Paralympics and 2018 Winter Games.
