Anti-Doping

Anti-doping refers to efforts and regulations designed to prevent athletes from using banned substances or methods to unfairly enhance their performance. It aims to ensure fair competition, athlete health, and integrity in sports. Organizations like WADA develop lists of prohibited substances and conduct testing during competitions and out-of-competition periods. If an athlete is found using banned substances, they may face penalties such as disqualification, suspension, or stripping of titles. Overall, anti-doping maintains the spirit of sport by promoting clean, honest athletic achievement.
