What is doping?

According to the World Anti-Doping Code and the ICF Anti-Doping Rules, doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs). Most commonly, this means a presence of a prohibited substance in an Athlete’s sample collected during Doping Control.

However, it’s not just a positive test that can result in a sanction. In fact, there are 11 Anti-Doping Rule Violations:

  • Administering or attempting to administer a prohibited substance or method to an Athlete
  • Complicity in an ADRV
