As a national anti-doping organization (NADO), the AFLD cooperates with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and with other signatory organizations of the World Anti-Doping Code such as international sports federations.
The agency has been particularly prominent in cases involving the Tour de France, such as that of Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his title in the 2006 race.
A breakdown in the relationship between AFLD and the Union Cycliste Internationale in relation to testing procedures in the 2009 Tour de France lead to the severance of the role which gave AFLD their highest profile cases.
