Roles &
Responsibilities.
Clean sport.
A shared responsibility.
Every athlete deserves fair competition. Athletes, support personnel and the wider sporting community all have a part to play in understanding the rules, protecting that right and making informed decisions.
Fair sport starts with us.
Understanding your rights and responsibilities helps protect both your own sporting journey and the people around you.
The athlete’s right.
You have the right to clean sport and a fair results management process. Know what to expect during testing and where to get support.
A shared commitment.
Athletes, support personnel and sporting organisations should understand the rules that apply to them and keep up with changes.
Learn before you decide.
Anti-doping education supports informed choices and helps prevent intentional and inadvertent doping. Start the conversation early and keep it going.
Being informed is part of being prepared. Ask questions when you are unsure about a rule, a treatment or a testing procedure.
Your rights during testingYour sample.
Your responsibility.
Under strict liability, you are responsible for a prohibited substance, its metabolites or markers in your sample. Intent, fault or knowing use does not need to be proved to establish a presence violation.
A valid TUE and the applicable rules may affect the assessment. Fault and circumstances can affect the consequences; a positive finding does not automatically mean the same sanction for every athlete.
Understand TUEsBefore you take it.
0 of 5 reviewedA review aid only. These checks do not confirm that a product or treatment is permitted. Seek qualified advice when unsure.
The impact reaches beyond results.
Understand the risks, discuss them responsibly and seek support for decisions that affect your health and sporting future.
Your health.
Misuse of performance-enhancing substances can harm physical and mental health. The risks vary with the substance, method and individual.
Your sporting journey.
A rule violation can affect eligibility, results, opportunities and reputation. The impact may extend beyond a period away from competition.
A fair process.
Results management includes notification, an opportunity to be heard, a written decision and the appeal rights provided by the applicable rules.
Keep the conversation clear and supportive.
Use accurate information and avoid assumptions about an individual case. Consistent messages about medicines, supplements and in-competition or out-of-competition rules help athletes make informed choices.
For a specific health concern, speak with a qualified medical professional. For a rules or case question, contact the responsible anti-doping organisation.
