Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs)

Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) are breaches of regulations set to ensure fair play in sports, primarily involving the use or presence of prohibited substances or methods that enhance performance. These violations include using banned drugs, refusing drug tests, tampering with samples, or assisting others in doping. When an ADRV occurs, athletes can face penalties such as disqualification, suspension, or loss of medals, to maintain integrity and safety in competition.
