What is doping?

Doping is defined as the commission of one or more anti-doping rule violations. It is not only an adverse analytical finding on a sample collected during a test, but also any action directly related to the consumption of prohibited substances or the use of prohibited methods in sport, as well as any other conduct that may be related to concealing the commission of these violations.
