Every athlete has the right to participate in clean sports. Supporting athletes to understand the importance of clean sports is the role of athlete support groups, including you. Through education, you can help minimize the risk of intentional or unintentional doping and support athletes to compete healthily and avoid breaking the 11 anti-doping rules. We often find that athletes do not like to discuss doping, however doping is a very complex issue that should be discussed openly in order to avoid violating anti-doping rules. By talking openly and honestly with athletes and simplifying the main points and the main messages we can help athletes understand the symptoms of doping and know how to overcome them.

The Malaysian Anti-Doping Agency (ADAMAS) is an authority responsible for anti-doping in this country. As a National Anti-Doping Organization (NADO), ADAMAS carries out its responsibilities and roles based on the world's official documents, namely the World Anti-Doping Code 2021 (World Anti-Doping Code 2021) and the ADAMAS Anti-Doping Rules 2021 (ADAMAS Anti-Doping Rules 2021 ) which are sports rules that govern the implementation of a sport. Decision of the Council of Ministers on the Memorandum from the Minister of Youth and Sports No. M213/2021 on 21 April 2021 has agreed that the government basically adopts the World Anti-Doping Code 2021 and the ADAMAS Anti-Doping Regulations 2021. With the adoption of these two main documents, ADAMAS as NADO is subject to compliance with the anti-doping code the world thus ensuring that all national anti-doping development programs are based on international codes and standards set by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). At the same time, all major stakeholders, especially national sports associations / federations, will accept and comply with these codes and regulations. It is the responsibility of all athletes, athlete support groups and bettors to accept and abide by what is contained in this code and regulations.

Under the principle of "Strict Liability", if a violation of anti-doping rules occurs when a Prohibited Substance is found in the Body Specimen of an Athlete either intentionally or unintentionally using a Prohibited Substance or negligently or otherwise, the athlete is still found guilty. Each athlete is fully responsible for any prohibited substance used, attempted to use or found in their body, regardless of how it was present or not, whether with intent to cheat or not. They will face the consequences regardless of the circumstances that lead to this. What is important is, we should know the effect that will affect our career as an athlete.
