OBLIGATIONS AS AN ATHLETE
Like all other Olympic sport federations, the IBU adheres to the World Anti-Doping Code, which was set up by WADA and coordinates the universal fight against doping in sport. WADA offers its stakeholders the Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS) - a centralised online system which helps the IBU to coordinate its anti-doping measures and comply with the WADA Code.
The system can be used in multiple languages – English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, Dutch, Finnish and Italian – and the data is only available to organisations with authorisation from the World Anti-Doping Program. Only information/areas relevant to the specific user(s) will be viewable.
RETIREMENT & RETURN TO COMPETITION
If an Athlete belonging to the RTP decides to permanently retire from Biathlon competitions, he/she needs to fill out the Retirement Form. This form must be signed by the Athlete and his/her National Federation and then forwarded to the IBU via email: antidoping@biathlonintegrity.com
If an Athlete who has retired from Biathlon would like to compete again, he/she must announce this to the IBU by filling out the Return to Competition Form six months prior to the first competition (see IBU Anti-Doping Rules 5.7 of the Integrity Code).
