Safeguarding the health and well-being of participants in Biathlon – in particular children and young adults – is something the Biathlon Integrity Unit takes very seriously. In that vein, participants must not:

 

• Commit any form of physical, mental or sexual harassment or abuse towards any person

• Do anything that risks harming a person’s physical and/or mental wellbeing and/or safety

 

Physical abuse includes and is not limited to: hitting, shaking, throwing, poisoning, burning, biting, suffocating or otherwise causing physical harm.

 

Emotional abuse includes and is not limited to: bullying, causing someone to feel threatened, frightened, embarrassed or in danger, or otherwise causing emotional harm.

 

Sexual abuse includes and is not limited to: forcing or inappropriately enticing someone to become involved in sexual activities against their will.
