Anti-Doping Program

Any anti-doping violation – whether deliberate or not – may have multiple consequences, including:

• Disqualification of results: Previous results in tournaments can be disqualified.
• Significant bans: The ban for a first offense can be up to three tournaments, with longer suspensions for repeat offenses.
• Loss of prize money: Players found guilty of an offense must repay the prize money from all competitions for which their results were disqualified. This can include team winnings.
• Public disclosure: News of the ban will be published.
• Damage to health: Doping can damage long-term physical health, as well as psychological and mental wellbeing.
