91色情片 is committed to clean, fair sport. We believe in protecting the health of our athletes, the integrity of our sport and the spirit of clean competition.
We collaborate with the Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui (the Commission), 91色情片鈥檚 national anti-doping agency, to:
- promote a culture of clean sport
- educate members on anti-doping rules, rights and responsibilities
- facilitate testing
- report doping and suspicious activity
- support athletes to compete clean
Sports Anti-Doping Rules
91色情片 has adopted 91色情片鈥檚 Sports Anti-Doping Rules. The Rules apply to all 91色情片 members, no matter your role or level of play.
The Rules ban more than just testing positive. They also ban things like buying, possessing or distributing banned substances.
If you break the Rules 鈥� even by accident 鈥� you risk a sanction. Sanctions can include a ban from all sport and disqualification of your results. All sanctions are published and may be reported on by media.
Anti-doping education
The most important thing anyone can do to protect themselves and their sport from doping is to complete anti-doping education.
The Commission offers comprehensive free anti-doping education and resources on its website. Whether you鈥檙e new to anti-doping, an experienced athlete or part of an athlete support team, there is an education option for you.
Banned substances
Some substances and methods are banned in sport. Each year, the World Anti-Doping Agency publishes a list of all those substances and methods in the WADA Prohibited List.
Substances can be included on the list if they meet any two of the following criteria:
- it has the potential to enhance sporting performance
- it presents an actual or potential health risk to the athlete
- it violates the spirit of sport
Supplements
Supplements are a risk for all athletes. Neither the Commission nor WADA approve any supplements because of this risk. Athletes can and do test positive because of contaminated supplements.
Nevertheless, many athletes choose to use supplements or are on a supplement programme. If that鈥檚 you, it鈥檚 important to make an informed decision. The Commission鈥檚 Supplement Decision-Making Guide shows you ways you can minimise 鈥� but not eliminate 鈥� supplement risk.
Medications
Even common medications can contain banned substances. That鈥檚 why it鈥檚 important that you check every medication for banned substances before you take it.
Global DRO is an online tool that can tell you if your medication contains banned ingredients, has conditions for its use, or is not banned in sport.
Athletes are 100% responsible for any substance found in their sample. If you鈥檙e an athlete, be careful with anything you put in or on your body.
Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs)
A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) allows you, without breaking the Rules, to take a medication containing a banned substance if you need to do so for medical reasons.
Some athletes must apply for their TUE in advance, before they begin using any prohibited medications or methods. Other athletes can apply retroactively.
Testing
Testing is an important way of deterring and detecting doping in sport. As an athlete, you should be prepared to be tested at any time. It may happen in- or out-of-competition. You may be asked for a urine sample, blood sample or both.
If you fail to complete a test when notified, you are at risk of an anti-doping sanction.
Testing can be nerve-wracking, especially if it鈥檚 your first time. Learning about the process in advance can help you know what to expect.
Athlete Whereabouts
The Athlete Whereabouts programme is used worldwide to make sure athletes can be located for testing.
Athletes on a testing pool must update their Whereabouts every quarter to protect the integrity of sport and to stay within the Sports Anti-Doping Rules.
Athlete rights
The Athletes鈥� Anti-Doping Rights Act protects an athlete鈥檚 fundamental right to participate in clean sport. It promotes health, fairness and equal opportunity for all athletes worldwide.
Speak Out
Speak Out is a way for anyone in sport to report doping concerns in confidence. You don鈥檛 need the full story. Get in touch even if it seems minor 鈥� every piece of information helps.
