Doping controls are top priority at WNBF

The backbone of the WNBF brand image is strict compliance with doping controls. We attach the highest importance to ensuring that our athletes are doping-free, so that we ensure fair competition among ourselves.

The use of doping agents is strictly prohibited

Only athletes who have not taken banned sub-dances for at least 10 years are allowed to participate in competitions of the WNBF UAE. The WNBF UAE doping controls are
compliant with the official banned list of substances of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and other substances which the governing body WNBF considers problematic.

WNBF UAE may also conduct unannounced doping tests outside the competition season based on random or suspected doping. Any refusal and negative test will result in an immediate ban of at least seven years and will be sanctioned in accordance with the guidelines of the Doping Commission. The cause of a positive test is irrelevant.

What happens in a polygraph test?
A polygraph test is a lie detector test that takes place in the days just before the competition. This test contains questions about the use of doping agents and is carried out and evaluated by an expert. Each athlete is required to take a polygraph test and only a passed test grants participation in a competition. If a polygraph test is failed, you will not be allowed to compete and entrance fees and membership will not be refunded.

What happens during a urine test?
The top 3 of each class must submit a urine sample after receiving the placement. The urine samples are tested and evaluated by an independent accredited laboratory. WNBF UAE reserves the position until the evaluations are announced.
