The World Squash Federation
is unequivocally opposed on ethical and medical grounds to
the practice of doping in sport and fully supports the
position of the International Olympic Committee/World
Anti-Doping Agency (IOC/WADA) against the use of banned
substances and methods. The use, possession and/or
trafficking of banned substances, methods, or the
encouragement or counselling to use banned substances, or
methods; and/or taking measures to mask the use of banned
substances, or methods by any participant in competitions
over which the WSF has jurisdiction is unacceptable and will
not be tolerated.
The WSF Policy on Doping is motivated by a desire for fair
and equal competition among athletes and by concern for the
health of athletes participating in such competition. This
Policy shall apply to all participants in competitions over
which the WSF has jurisdiction and provides for sanctions
against any player found guilty of doping offence. All
athletes are subject to doping controls (urine analyses,
blood tests and other authorised techniques for detecting
prohibited substances or methods). It is intended that all
participants be subject to year round out-of-competition
testing and that the Code not apply solely to in-competition
testing.
