Anti-doping

The IAF shares the anti-doping commitment of the sports world, according to the directives of WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency. For the IAF Anti-Doping Policy and Rules, see the links below to these documents.

Here are links to some essential WADA information about anti-doping and how this work is done:

TUE, Therapeutic Use Exemption

 

For aikido seminars, public demonstrations, and dan examinations, the WADA rules on TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) may apply.

 

Please consult the national anti-doping organization of the event in question, for specifics about these rules. For IAF events, if the national anti-doping organization doesn't clarify your situation, please contact the IAF.

2013: Combat Games, S:t Petersburg, October

Other events may be added to the list.

Nutritional Supplements

WADA and other anti-doping organizations have found good reason to warn against the use of dietary and nutritional supplements. They may contain substances that are classified as doping, even when this is not specified on the supplement's list of ingredients.
