CyADA - Κυπριακή Αρχή Αντί-Ντόπινγκ

All Athletes are subject to testing.

Doping Controls aim to detect the Use of any substance or method included in the Prohibited List by an Athlete and contribute to the promotion and protection of doping-free sport.

Doping Control consists of Sample Collection by an Anti-Doping Organisation (such as the Cyprus Anti-Doping Authority) and Sample analysis by a WADA-Accredited Laboratory.

Sample collection can be either in-competition or out-of-competition (such as at an athlete’s training venue or home). The majority of testing is carried out with no-advance-notice. The test can involve the collection of urine, blood or both.

Athletes must comply with a valid request for testing. Athletes may face sanctions if they refuse to comply. The penalty for refusing to provide a sample upon a valid request may be the same as providing a sample that contains a prohibited substance.

Athletes included in the Cyprus Anti-Doping Authority’s Registered Testing Pool (RTP) must submit their Whereabouts to the Cyprus Anti-Doping Authority.
