ICSD Anti-doping Rules

The International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) supports the work of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in developing the World Anti-Doping Program and intends to sign acceptance of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code).

The ICSD has established these ICSD Anti-Doping Rules in accordance with the Code, expecting that, in the spirit of sport, it will contribute to the fight against doping in the deaf community. The ICSD Regulations and the Code’s
International Standards, which are referred to throughout the Rules, complement the Rules.

The ICSD requires as a condition of recognition by the ICSD that National Deaf Sport Federations (NDSF) within the deaf sport movement, as Anti-Doping Organizations (ADO), are in compliance with the Code and are expected to establish antidoping regulations in accordance with the Code.

The Rules shall apply to the Winter/Summer Deaflympics (Games), World and Regional Championships (hereafter
reference to Games is also relevant to ICSD’s World and Regional Championships if doping control is being conducted) including the time of preparation for Competition.

Anti-doping rules, like Competition rules, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. All
Participants (Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel) accept these Rules as a condition of participation and are presumed to have agreed to comply with the Rules.
