Relevant Fields:
Concept
An anti-doping policy is a formal set of rules and regulations established to prevent the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports, ensuring fair competition and athlete safety. These policies are enforced by testing and education programs coordinated by organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and national bodies.
Concept
Doping control is a critical process in sports that involves the detection, deterrence, and prevention of the use of performance-enhancing drugs. It ensures fair play and athlete health by employing rigorous testing protocols and maintaining a strict list of banned substances.
Concept
The Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is a personalized, electronic record that monitors selected biological variables over time, helping to detect the effects of doping rather than the presence of specific substances. By establishing an individual athlete's baseline and identifying deviations, the ABP enhances anti-doping efforts through indirect detection methods, increasing the likelihood of identifying doping practices.
Concept
A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is a formal permission granted to an athlete to use a prohibited substance or method for medical reasons, ensuring that athletes with genuine health needs are not unfairly penalized. The TUE process involves a rigorous application and review by medical experts to balance fair competition with athlete health and safety.
Concept
Concept
The 'Prohibited List' is a critical tool used in various fields to identify substances or practices that are banned due to safety, ethical, or regulatory reasons. It serves as a guideline to ensure compliance and maintain integrity, particularly in contexts like sports, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection.
Concept
Concept
Concept
Out-of-Competition Testing refers to the anti-doping tests conducted on athletes outside of formal competition periods, ensuring that athletes remain clean and free from performance-enhancing drugs at all times. This type of testing is crucial for maintaining fairness in sports, as it helps detect and deter the use of banned substances that might be used during training or off-seasons to gain an unfair advantage during competitions.
In-competition testing refers to anti-doping tests conducted during or shortly before a competitive event to ensure athletes are not using performance-enhancing drugs, while out-of-competition testing occurs at any other time to prevent athletes from using banned substances to gain an advantage during training. Both types of testing are crucial for maintaining fairness and integrity in sports by ensuring athletes adhere to anti-doping regulations at all times.
Concept
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is an international organization established in 1999 to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against drug use in sports. It develops and enforces anti-doping policies and regulations to ensure fair play and athlete health globally.
