Clean sport
Anti-Doping
مكافحة المنشطات
Our approach to clean sport — WADA Code adoption, testing, the TUE process, whereabouts reporting, and sanctions. For full legal text refer to the World Anti-Doping Code.
Commitment
الالتزام
The Oman Fencing Committee is committed to clean sport. We adopt the World Anti-Doping Code and the FIE anti-doping rules in full, and we work under the Oman National Anti-Doping Committee (ONADC). Every registered athlete, coach, trainer, doctor, physiotherapist and official is bound by these rules from the moment of registration.
Rules
القواعد
Prohibited substances and methods are defined by the annually updated WADA Prohibited List. Athletes are personally responsible for every substance found in their sample, whether taken knowingly or not. Strict liability applies — "I didn't know" is not a defence.
Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)
الإعفاء لأغراض علاجية
Athletes requiring a prohibited substance for a legitimate medical condition must apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption before the substance is used, through ONADC (domestic-level) or the FIE/WADA (international-level). Applications require supporting medical evidence.
Testing
الفحوصات
Athletes may be tested in-competition and out-of-competition, with no advance notice. Samples are collected under witnessed chain-of-custody by accredited Doping Control Officers and analysed in WADA-accredited laboratories. Refusing or evading a sample is treated as a positive test.
Whereabouts reporting
تقرير أماكن التواجد
Athletes in the Registered Testing Pool must keep whereabouts information current in ADAMS. Three missed tests or filing failures in twelve months count as an anti-doping rule violation. Consult ONADC if you are newly included in the pool.
Education
التوعية
The committee runs regular anti-doping education workshops for athletes and support personnel, covering the Prohibited List, supplements risk, TUE process and rights during testing. Attendance is mandatory before first international assignment.
Consequences
العقوبات
Violations carry sanctions up to a four-year ban for intentional use, with forfeiture of results, medals and prize money, and possible financial penalties. Decisions may be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
