International Hockey Federation : Anti-Doping

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) supports the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. The FIH is therefore a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code.

The FIH is proud that hockey is free from the use of performance enhancing drugs and aims to maintain this situation. The FIH has therefore adopted Anti-Doping Regulations which are in full accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code.

This part of the FIH website provides information about the Regulations and their related procedures. More general information about anti-doping can be found on the WADA website using the link below.

Anti-Doping Education

It is important that everyone involved in playing hockey is aware of the requirements in the World Anti-Doping Code. This includes players, coaches and officials.

FIH has therefore partnered with RealWinner to provide an online explanation of anti-doping requirements. Use this link to access the RealWinner website.
