SWISS SPORT INTEGRITY – Contact Point for Ethics Issues in Swiss Sports
It is important that sport can be practiced in a safe and supportive environment and is protected from abuses such as discrimination, bullying, unfair treatment or excessively harsh training methods. Physical and mental health should be preserved. However, misconduct and grievances can unfortunately not be completely excluded.
That is why Swiss Sport Integrity provides a contact and initial advice center, for anyone wishing to report ethical incidents in sport.
Further information on the independent reporting office can be found on the Swiss Sport Integrity website: www.sportintegrity.ch

WHAT EXACTLY IS MEANT BY "DOPING"?
Not only the presence of prohibited substances in the body, but also for example their possession, or the refusal of a doping control or whereabouts failures are prohibited according to the Swiss Olympic Doping Statute.
Find out more about the eleven violations.
ATHLETES BEAR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
The so-called Strict Liability is the basis of doping prevention. It means that athletes are solely responsible for ensuring that no prohibited substances enter their bodies or that no prohibited methods are used.
More about the Rights and Obligations.
CHECK MEDICATION, ALWAYS!
Before athletes take any medication, they must always check that it does not contain any prohibited substances. The medication inquiry service Global DRO is a simple tool for checking – via www.sportintegrity.ch or with our App.
DOPING RISK OF SUPPLEMENTS?
Nutritional supplements may be contaminated with prohibited substances. They therefore carry the risk of an unintentional anti-doping rule violation. To reduce this risk, great care must be taken when choosing products.
