The Biathlon anti-doping policy is the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy, effective from 1 January 2021, and found here on the Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) website.
Anti-doping rules apply to all participants of our sport from elite down to grassroots. All members must be aware of, and have a basic understanding of their obligations in regards to anti-doping. The SIA website has a range of information and resources to assist, including:
Prohibited List of substances and methods
The Prohibited List outlines the substances and methods that are prohibited in sport. It is updated annually by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Remember that individual products or brands are not named on the Prohibited List. Athletes should check the status of all medications before they use them on GlobalDRO. Global DRO allows users to check whether the most commonly prescribed and over-the-counter substances are prohibited.
E-learning
Specific anti-doping courses are available for coaches, support persons, medical practitioners and parents on the SIA e-learning portal
Athletes who compete at state level or above are likely to be required to complete some education.
Please refer to our Anti-Doping Education Plan (see attachment below) which outlines the minimum mandated ‘required’ & ‘recommended’ e-learning education for Biathlon Australia’s various personnel. Please note that all required e-learning education needs to be completed prior to the commencement of the season.
