The Anti-Doping Commission of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation has carried out to date, since its creation in 1998, more than a thousand doping controls, of which 93 were carried out during the past year of 2011.

Specifically, the controls carried out during the fourteen years of activity of the RFEG Anti-Doping Commission are 1,028, of which 772 have taken place during official competitions and 256 out of competition (69 and 24, respectively, during 2011).

To carry out this work, the doctors of the RFEG Anti-Doping Commission have so far made 106 visits to fields during official competitions, apart from those made outside of competition, another 19 in particular.

Apart from the mandatory controls whose performance is determined by the Health and Doping Control and Monitoring Commission of the Higher Sports Council, in and out of competition, the RFEG Anti-Doping Commission is responsible, within the federative sphere, for ordering the performance of additional doping controls.

It is also responsible for monitoring the development of all doping controls carried out in official state competitions – and the controls carried out out of competition – on athletes licensed to participate in said competitions.

With regard to international competitions held in Spanish territory, the RFEG Anti-Doping Commission is responsible for monitoring the development of all doping controls carried out during the event, always acting on behalf of international organizations.

The RFEG Anti-Doping Commission regularly organizes talks and conferences aimed at managers and players with the aim of informing, raising awareness and ensuring that golf is a clean and healthy sport.
