Anti-Doping

Broomball Canada's Anti-doping policy - keeping sport safe and clean

In the role of Canada’s national anti-doping organization, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports (CCES) implements and administers the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) on behalf of the Canadian sport community.

The CADP is designed to prevent, deter and detect doping and serves to protect the integrity of sport and the rights of clean athletes.

Broomball Canada has adopted the 2021 CADP which means that you can be confident that you are part of a world-class anti-doping program that is designed to protect athletes’ rights and ensure a level playing field. Broomball Canada’s anti-doping policy and code of conduct reflect and support the CADP.

As a member of Broomball Canada, the CADP applies to you!

It is important to know that by participating in National activities sanctioned by Broomball Canada, you may be selected for doping control.

Important Information:

The CCES recommends that athletes take the following actions to ensure they don’t commit an inadvertent anti-doping rule violation:

Know your rights and responsibilities as an athlete with regard to anti-doping.
Log in and complete your CCES online anti-doping education at https://education.cces.ca.
Always comply with a testing request if you are notified for doping control.
Check all medications and products before taking them to ensure they do not contain ingredients that are banned.
Verify your medical exemption requirements.
Do not take supplements, but if you do, take steps to minimize your risk.

Therapeutic Use Exemptions

Athletes currently taking medications that appear on the list of banned substances as published in the Drug Classification Handbook must complete and return a Therapeutic Use Exemption Form to both Broomball Canada and CCES. Through this process you may be granted permission by the CCES to use this WADA prohibited substance or method during and out of competition.

Where do I apply for a TUE?

All Canadian athletes must contact the CCES for a TUE.

When do I apply for a TUE?
As soon as a prohibited medication is recommended to you by your physician, an application should be made. During the competitive season, an application must be submitted and approved at least 21 days prior to participating in a National event.
