Mission Statement
Factually, with the increased obligation under the Code, but more importantly in light of the pervasiveness of drugs in sport in general and its desire to keep its sport clean, ITU has created its own anti-doping department whose sole function will be to manage all anti-doping matters. ITU has committed a substantial budget to its anti-doping mission an unequivocal confirmation of ITU commitment to eradicating the use of drugs in triathlon.
Practically, various regulatory mechanisms are now in place to curb the incidence of doping in our sport. All these mechanisms seek to efficiently and effectively deter all triathletes from using drugs. More importantly, these mechanisms are the main tools that will allow the ITU to catch and punish anyone who cheats, all the while guaranteeing greater merit to the clean, fair athletes.
