The principles and values linked to clean sport aim to up hold the integrity of sports by promoting respect for rules, fellow competitors, fair competition, a fair playing field, and the significance of clean sport on a global scale.

Athletes have certain rights and responsibilities when it comes to Anti-Doping policies and rules. It is important for them to be knowledgeable about these rules and ensure compliance with them.

The principle of strict liability is applied in situations where urine/blood samples collected from an athlete have produced adverse analytical results.

An athlete runs very high risks by consuming doping substances or by using prohibited methods. This may result in very severe health but also sporting, financial, legal, and social consequences.

As of 1 January 2025, the 2025 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (the List), along with the 2025 Monitoring Program, has officially come into force.

Using supplements carries inherent risks as there is no guarantee that a supplement is free from prohibited substances. In fact, supplements are a major contributor to unintentional doping among athletes.

WHAT IS A THERAPEUTIC USE EXEMPTION?

Athletes may at times need to use a prohibited medication and/or method to treat a legitimate medical condition. 

Any Athlete may be required to provide a Sample at any time and at any place by any Anti-Doping Organization with Testing authority over him or her.

The Whereabouts system allows the National Anti-Doping Organization and other testing agencies to test some athletes with no advanced notice.
