- An anti-doping rule violation is committed if a prohibited substance (or its metabolites or markers) is present in an athlete’s sample.
- Sanctions for the violation may include: ineligible to participate in sport-related activities, disqualification of competition results, public disclosure.
- A positive doping test record will remain on the athlete’s file and any further violation may lead to aggravated sanction.
Never assume a substance/medication is safe to use even if you cannot find any prohibition information about it.
