WORLD YOGA CHAMPIONSHIP 2020 -RESULTS

ANTI- DOPING RULES AND POLICIES

• 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.
