Anti-Doping Rule Violations

Anti-doping rule violations cover a wide range of conduct under the World Anti-Doping Code and related policies. While many people think only of positive drug tests, violations can occur in several other ways. Athletes, coaches, medical staff, and even organizations can all be held responsible for breaches

Common ADRVs Can Include:

  • Presence of a prohibited substance in an athlete’s sample (urine or blood).

  • Use or attempted use of a banned substance or method.

  • Refusing or evading sample collection, or failing to submit to testing.

  • Whereabouts failures (missing multiple out-of-competition tests or filing failures).

  • Tampering with the doping control process.

  • Possession, trafficking, or administration of prohibited substances.

  • Complicity or cover-ups by coaches, medical professionals, or support staff.

Sanctions can be severe, ranging from suspensions and disqualification of results to lifetime bans. Even unintentional violations may carry strict liability.
