A substance is added to the List if it meets any two of three criteria: it enhances performance, it poses a health risk, or it violates the spirit of sport.
What is sport Integrity Australia?Show answer
Australia's national anti-doping organisation. It was established on 1 July 2020 and took over the anti-doping functions of the former Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA), bringing anti-doping together with broader sport-integrity work (match-fixing, safeguarding). It conducts the actual testing of Australian athletes (in- and out-of-competition), runs education, manages results and investigates.
