Anti-Doping

The International Table Tennis Federation was founded in 1926. Since then, one characteristic has been common to most of our World and Olympic Champions: Fair Play.

Fair Play includes the fight against doping.

The use of doping substances or doping methods to enhance performance is fundamentally wrong and is detrimental to the overall spirit of sport. Drug misuse can be harmful to an athlete’s health and to other athletes competing in table tennis, or in any other sport. It severely damages the integrity, image and value of sport, whether or not the motivation to use drugs is to improve performance.

To achieve integrity and fairness in sport, a commitment to a clean field of play is critical. The ITTF seeks to maintain the integrity of table tennis by running a comprehensive anti-doping program that focuses equally on education/prevention and on testing, with consequent sanctioning of those who break the rules.
