The UIAA is committed to fair play, doping free sport and the principles of the Code. The UIAA has adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (2009); this includes the mandatory articles of the Code and all relevant International Standards.

The aims of the UIAA’s Anti-Doping Policy and Procedure are to:

• Promote drug free competitions in UIAA recognised sports.
• Develop fair and consistent Anti-Doping procedures and regulations.
• Assist Member Associations to meet their obligations to their national sports authorities and comply with relevant national legislation (such as in the field of contracts, human rights, and data protection).
