DOPING PROTOCOLS
It is a requirement of our doping procedures
for all swimmers registered to take part in open competition,
and who take regular medication for asthma, to send these
details for inclusion on their registration record. It is
important therefore that clubs ensure that members are aware of
this requirement.
In addition to this it is now a requirement
of FINA that information is notified to the Governing Body
regarding medical conditions requiring the permanent use of a
banned substance where there is no other substitute. As these
conditions are less common (see list below) there is no general
form to complete for this notification.
Following the receipt by the Governing Body
of a medical certificate, a dispensation to swim in competitions
up to National level may be given. Information will be issued on
an individual basis including details for applying for
dispensation to compete in international competition which
requires further approval by the FINA Doping Control Review
Body.
Swimmers or their parents should send the
medical certificate, which must clearly indicate the name and
address of the swimmer and their doctor, to the address below in
an envelope marked “Notifiable Medication”.
