Karate is a budo — a discipline of character before competition. Our anti-doping programme protects the integrity of every grade, every medal and every athlete who trains honestly. Below: the prohibited list, the testing programme, therapeutic-use exemptions and the education every competitor must complete.
Every athlete, coach and official affiliated with the platform commits to clean sport. We operate testing in and out of competition, support athletes with timely TUE review, and require completion of clean-sport education before national selection. Doping is a betrayal of the dojo, the opponent and the self. There is no tolerance and no exception.
“I compete clean. I take responsibility for everything that enters my body. I will not dope, and I will speak up to protect the sport I love.”
