World Ninepin Bowling Association (WNBA) Anti-Doping Rules

Anti-doping programs seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as "the spirit of sport"; it is the essence of Olympism; it is how we play true. The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind, and is characterized by the following values:

 

° Ethics, fair play and honesty

 

° Health

 

° Excellence in performance

 

° Character and education

 

° Fun and joy

 

° Teamwork

 

° Dedication and commitment

 

° Respect for rules and laws

 

° Respect for self and other participants

 

° Courage

 

° Community and solidarity

Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport.

 

The first time WNBA has issued Anti-Doping Rules for Ninepin Bowling on 26.02.2005. These Rules get updated through the new version with coming into force on 01.01.2009.

 

At the meeting held on 03/10/2008 in Ritzing (AUT) the Presidium of WNBA accepted the revised (2009) World Anti-Doping Code (the "Code") and commissioned the President of WNBA to issue these WNBA ANTI-DOPING RULES. These Anti-Doping Rules are adopted and implemented in conformance with WNBA responsibilities under the Code, and are in furtherance of WNBA continuing efforts to eradicate doping in the sport of NINEPIN BOWLING.

Anti-Doping Rules, like Rules of Sport, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. Athletes and other Persons accept these rules as a condition of participation and shall be bound by them. These sport-specific rules and procedures, aimed at enforcing antidoping principles in a global and harmonized manner, are distinct in nature and, therefore, not intended to be subject to, or limited by any national requirements and legal standards applicable to criminal proceedings or employment matters.

Anti-Doping Rules, like Competition rules, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played.

World Anti-Doping Code                                  

 

The Code is the core document that provides the framework for harmonized anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sport organizations and among public authorities. It works in conjunction with five International Standards aimed at bringing harmonization among anti-doping organizations in various areas: testing, laboratories, Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), the List of Prohibited Substances and Methods, and for the protection of privacy and personal information. The last revisions to the Code took effect on January 1, 2009.

 

 

 

2010 Prohibited List                              2011 Prohibited List
 

The Prohibited List (List) was first published in 1963 under the leadership of the International Olympic Committee. Since 2004, as mandated by the World Anti-Doping Code (Code), WADA is responsible for the preparation and publication of the List. The List is a cornerstone of the Code and a key component of harmonization. It is an International Standard identifying substances and methods prohibited in-competition, out-of-competition and in particular sports. Substances and methods are classified by categories (e.g., steroids, stimulants, gene doping). The use of any prohibited substance by an athlete for medical reasons is possible by virtue of a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).
