world sport that is free of doping. Its key activities include scientific
research, education, development of anti-doping capacities, and monitoring of
the World Anti
Doping Code (Code). Code is document which provides anti-doping
policies, rules and regulations within sport organizations and among public
authorities around the world. It works in conjunction with five
International Standards. The goals of this standarts are improved consistency
among anti-doping organizations in various areas: testing;
laboratories; Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs); the List of Prohibited
Substances and Methods; and the protection of privacy and personal information.
In Turkey, there is a doping control center called the Turkish Doping Control
Center (TDKM), a Hacettepe University unit The aim of this center is to; enable
young people to do sport healthily, prevent unfair competition in sports, make
doping and other chemical analyses, conduct fundamental and practical
researches and projects, develop new techniques in this regard, collect data in
light of the aims of the center, offer consultation services. Each year WADA
specifies substances and doping methods that are prohibited in sport. It
is therefore important for athletes and health professionals to check what is
permitted.
