Swiss Discgolf is unreservedly committed to doping-free sport, supports the fight against doping and actively cooperates with the Swiss Sport Integrity Foundation.
Consistent compliance with the anti-doping rules protects the athletes, the association and the entire sport of disc golf. The management of Swiss Discgolf believes it is important that athletes, coaches, team managers and medical staff are aware of the rules and are committed to clean golf.
Not only prohibited substances in the body are banned, but also, for example, their possession, refusal to submit to a test or reporting violations. You can find out more about the ten specific offenses and the doping statute at Swiss Olympic Doping Statute.
Strict liability is the basis of the fight against doping. It states that athletes are solely responsible for ensuring that no prohibited substances enter their bodies or that no prohibited methods are used.
Before athletes take medication, they must always check that it does not contain any prohibited substances. The Global DRO medication query provides simple information about this – via http://www.sportintegrity.ch or as a mobile app.
Supplements and food supplements may be contaminated with prohibited substances. They therefore harbor the risk of an unintentional doping violation. To reduce this risk, great care must be taken when selecting products.
Doping controls can take place at any time and anywhere. It is the athlete's duty to comply with the control request and the instructions of the control personnel. The details of a test can be found at Control process | SSI (sportintegrity.ch).
The higher the level of performance, the more athletes and their coaches need to know the anti-doping rules. The e-learning program Clean Winner offers seven interactive modules. Complete them and obtain your anti-doping certificate!
Indications of possible doping offenses may seem small, but they can be important for Swiss Sport Integrity's investigative work. Your report could be crucial in helping to protect clean sport. The information will always be treated confidentially.
