antidopningskod

Antidopningskod is the Swedish term for the World Anti-Doping Code. It is a document that forms the basis of the fight against doping in sport worldwide. Developed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the Code establishes a set of harmonized anti-doping rules, policies, and regulations that apply to all sports and all countries that have ratified it. The primary goals of the Antidopningskod are to protect the rights of clean athletes, to ensure that sports are fair and equitable, and to safeguard the integrity of sport.

The Antidopningskod outlines prohibited substances and methods, defines doping offenses, and specifies the consequences for violations, including bans and suspensions. It also covers areas such as testing procedures, results management, investigations, and therapeutic use exemptions. The Code is subject to periodic review and updates to address emerging challenges in the anti-doping landscape. National anti-doping organizations, like Antidoping Sverige, are responsible for implementing and enforcing the Code within their respective countries. The Antidopningskod aims to create a level playing field by preventing athletes from gaining an unfair advantage through the use of prohibited substances or methods.
