Unintentional Doping Call for Contributions

Unintentional doping occurs when an athlete unknowingly violates an anti-doping rule, often as a result of using contaminated supplements, food, or medication, or due to a lack of awareness about anti-doping rules. These cases can have life-changing consequences, making it crucial to understand and to address the issue comprehensively.

Call for Contributions

WADA's Taskforce on Unintentional Doping invites everyone, including athletes, athlete support personnel (e.g., coaches, physicians, parents), anti-doping practitioners, academics, and policymakers to share their personal experiences, professional opinions, research evidence, and examples of emerging practices regarding unintentional doping. The goal of this initiative is to gain a better understanding of the causes and consequences of unintentional doping in order to develop preventative strategies for athletes and anti-doping organizations.
