ANTI- DOPING RULES AND POLICIES

IYF adopts the World Anti-Doping Code and fully supports its purpose, which is to:
 
  • Protect the athlete's fundamental right to participate in a doping-free sport and thus promote health, fairness, and equality for athletes worldwide;
  • Ensure a harmonized, coordinated and effective anti-doping programme on the international and national level with regard to detection, deterrence, and prevention of doping.

IBSA does this through enforcing its anti-doping rules that are in full compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code.
IYF does this at the international and national level through enforcing its anti-doping rules that are in full compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code.

What is doping?

Institutions such as WADA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) define 'Doping' as the use of prohibited drugs or methods by an athlete to improve training and sporting results.

Doping is prohibited in sports. This is because doping and medication abuse present a considerable risk to health for athletes and give them an unfair advantage over other athletes, which goes against the principle of fair play that is embedded in the sport.

Athletes’ responsibilities about anti-doping both in and out of competition:

  • Compliance with the IYF’s Anti-Doping Rules and relevant policies
  • Always being available for sample collection (urine or blood)
  • Ensuring that no prohibited substances enters one’s body and no prohibited method used,
  • Making sure that any treatment is not prohibited according to the Prohibited List.

WADA Anti-Doping Code


The Code is the fundamental and universal document upon which the World Anti-Doping Program in sports is based. The purpose of the Code is to advance anti-doping efforts through universal harmonization of core anti-doping elements

Why is doping banned in sports?

For an athlete or coach, the use of doping substances or doping methods to enhance the performance is completely wrong according to the spirit of the sport.

Drug misuse to get more advantage is unfair to other athletes competing in the sport and also can be harmful to an athlete's health. It damages the value of sport. To achieve integrity and fairness in the sport, it is critical for athletes to stay free from prohibited substances.

Education about Anti-Doping Code

Athletes and coaches will be given full information, advice, and guidance to avoid the use of prohibited substances and remain 100% clean from them.  

National federations should also adopt the WADA Code to remain accredited by IYF. An education program will be also available for them. IYF and National Federations will work together on this subject to get support from athletes and coaches in your country.

IYF anti-doping rules apply to athletes, competitors, and their support staff participating in the competitions organized under IYF or any of its national member organisations. It is their responsibility to ensure that any medication they take to treat an illness or condition does not fall under the WADA Prohibited List.
