ATHLETES’ COMMITMENT

In accordance with the WADA rules and the JJIF regulations, the Athletes’ Commission has elaborated an Athlete’s Commitment document, which includes the athlete’s anti-doping commitment.

An Athlete’s Guide to the Significant Changes in the 2021 Code is also available on WADA’s Anti-Doping Education and Learning Platform (ADEL).

Its purpose is to help you understand the main changes to the World Anti-Doping Code (Code), especially those that have the greatest impact on you. Protecting your health and your anti-doping rights are at the center of our and WADA’s efforts in protecting clean sport. While nothing replaces the actual words of the Code or your Anti-Doping Organisation’s (ADO) anti-doping rules (the legally binding documents), this Guide aims to give you a simplified overview of what has changed in 2021.
