Anti-Doping Rule Violations

Anti-Doping Rule Violations occur when athletes use banned substances or methods to improve their performance, undermining fair competition and athlete health. Common violations include testing positive for prohibited drugs, using substances without medical approval, or trying to manipulate test results. These rules are enforced by organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to ensure that all athletes compete on a level playing field. Violating these rules can lead to severe penalties, including suspensions, fines, and disqualification from competitions. The goal is to promote integrity and safety in sports.
